COMPOSITING

1) Make space for composites

 Create/modify Workspace – hnc
 New Table: Composite (interval)
o Extra fields =
 C-LENGTH (real) – length of material used to calculate composite
 COMP-ID (string) – each composite is unique, must be exact spelling
 NI
 CO
 New Table = SldInt (interval) – will store drillhole/solid intersects
o Extra fields =
 Name 1, Name 2, Name 3
 Rock code (Integer)
 Rock type (String)
2) Open hnc + Tin A solid
3) Drillhole – Composite – Update Workspace will drillhole/solid intersections
a. Table for intersects = SldInt
b. Name 1,2,3
c. Rock Type
d. Rock Code
= 65/221 holes
4) Drillhole – Composite – Compositing Profile
a. New = COMP
b. Composite, C-LENGTH
c. Ni, Assay, Ni and Co, Assay, Co

* Explicit missing sample = NS, NE, IS = I know that the value is missing
* Implicit missing sample = no interval in database, may not have been sampled
* Min.sample length = must make up 75% of composite length

5) Drillhole – Composite – Prepare Composite Table = created up drillhole & creates intervals
(FROM-TO)
a. Length within intervals from another table = subdivide solid into equal parts
b. SLD_INT, 2m, Start from Collar, Create the last interval

Look at FROM-TO of composite table (E)

 6) Drillhole – Compositing – Calculate Composites
7) Display composites

Extract to POINT AREA (A) Assays (B) Composites

Create new workspace = PointAreaA . Ni, Co = added automatically (Grade Names)

(A) Workspace – Extract points

1. Workspace source = hnc
2. Workspace target = PointAreaA
3. New Point area name = PointArea A (delete & replace)
4. Description = all uncomposited assays, date
5. Display Profile = none (create one later)
6. Data Tab =
a. Assay, none, middle
b. Assay, Ni, Ni
c. Assay, Co, Co
d. Header, Hole-ID, Hold-ID

(B) Workspace – Extract points

1. Workspace source = DDH
2. Workspace target = PointAreaA
3. New Point area name = PointArea B (delete & replace)
4. Description = all composites
5. Display Profile = none
6. Data Tab =
a. Composites, none, middle
b. Composite, Ni, Ni
c. Composite, Co, Co
d. Header, Hole-ID, Hold-ID
= Only composite points which intersect the Solid
= NC (SLDINT) = -999 (PointArea)

Display PointArea B
 Format – Point Areas – COMP_NI & COMP_CO
 Click on More
i. Use field values to decide
ii. Field = Ni
iii. Use this colour = NI_COMP
