Edit Spoil Source

This command brings up a table of the Spoil Source that is required for the Spoil Timing commands. This displays where the material to be placed in the spoil polylines will come from. It shows the Site and Pit names to be mined. It also shows the Bench number, period or strata for each bench, full name and volume. If the SPO was created with the Surface Equipment Timing commands, then the Period will be used instead of the Strata Names, and the Mining Period Start and End dates will be correctly assigned. Otherwise, from Surface Mine Reserves, just the Strata Names and their volumes will apply.

This image shows the source of the spoil material calculated with Surface Mine Reserves.

This image shows the Spoil Source calculated on the same pits, but with Surface Mine Reserves, over three benches instead. It shows the Period instead of strata names, and the Mining Period Start and End dates are straight from the Surface Timing command, into the SPO file. The Apply Swell will swell the calculated volume stored in the SPO file. If it isn't swelled, then it will use the in-place, bank volume. The value is a percentage greater than 1.0. For example, 1.2 is a 20% swell of the spoiled material. Once OK is selected, the volumes should change on screen to a larger, swelled volume. The Report button will bring up the Report Formatter where the requested fields will be reported in the text window, or exported to Excel. Shown here is an example text report.Keyboard Command: edit_spo
