Ore Control
• Every mine has a slightly different idea of ore
control
• The general steps are always the same … the details are always different.
3
Ore Control system requirements
• Quick and easy
Allow geologists or technicians to produce results quickly, with little training
• Multiple users
Central database, reliable data management
• Flexible
Configure software and work flow to suit most mines
• Repeatable
Same results from all users, all the time
• Avoid errors
No copy/paste, no file names, no complications

activity definitions
• Each activity is defined
with inputs and
outputs
• Activity cannot start
unless all data is
available
• Activities prevent
conflict
over access to data
6
Activities are accessible based on
availability of data
• Data is selected “by context” and only data for
User selects from
available contexts is shown
available blasts by
context
• Activities are marked with a “play” button if all
data is available or a “stop” if required data is
missing

Ore Controller: Data management
Inputs:
• Blast outlines from Short Term Planning
• Drill hole locations and samples from geology
database
• Topography to help build accurate models
• Optional geological surfaces to model
structures
• Other data as required
8
Ore Controller: Administration
• All parameters used in modelling and
evaluation are stored in files that may be
edited at any time
• Access to administration functions is
controlled
9
Ore Control Geology Modelling
• The primary purpose is to ensure that material is
transported to the correct destination to
maximize value.
• An accurate model of the geology is required to
allow dig lines to be positioned accurately. CAE
Mining Ore Controller allows for:
• Rapid geological updates of models within blast outlines with minimum user
interaction
• Flexibility over how sophisticated the modelling process must be
• Optional evaluation directly from drillhole data (using Panel Kriging)
• Use of blast hole sampling or grade delineation drilling
Ore Controller allows technical staff to update geological models
quickly and easily, without sacrificing sophistication

Ore Control Geology Modelling
Rock type outlines may be created within a blast using latest sample or drillhole data
11
Ore Control Geology Modelling
The block model is generated and used to identify areas of different material classification

Defining material category
boundaries
• Ore Controller creates outlines automatically
from user defined boundary lines that cross the
blast outline

Blast Displacement Modelling
It is important to
estimate the
displacement of
material caused by
blasting
Ore Controller can use
displacement vectors
calculated by any
external system, and
integrates directly with
the BMM system from
Blast Movement
