This command creates a Mining Model file (.mmd) which stores a
sequence of strata elevation grids along with strata attribute
grids and a ground surface grid. The Define Mining Model works the
same as the Define Geologic Model. See the Define Geologic Model
section of the manual for a description of the functions.
The difference with the Mining Model is that the strata
elevation grids are already for any adjustments including recovery,
minimum key thickness to mine, minimum depth to mine, minimum
separatable parting thickness and non-key thickness to add to the
key. The Mining Model can be used in commands like Surface Mine
Reserves and the program can directly process the strata elevation
grids without having to apply those adjustments as it needs to for
a Geologic Model.
