Minex Data Load Process
1. Dump Mincom structures data (roof and floor) to ASCII
2. Dump Mincom coal quality data (CV, Ash, etc) to ASCII
3 Move data to Minex PC check file size is same
3.
4. Load ROOF FLOOR into Minex & check
5. Load quality into Minex & check
Minex Data Load Process
Check file size on PC is same or close to Minescape
Minex Data Load Process
Initialize STRUCTURE.GRD & QUALITY.GRD to store Grids.

Langkah-Langkah Persiapan
1. Import mincom model
2. Copy borehole db dan edit seam sequence
3. Buat grid topo progress
• Import dxf to gm3
• Buat boundary topo (jika belum ada)
• Ti

To generate reserves accurately, you must fill in the holes in
the thickness grids so that the thickness is 0.0 rather than null.

Minex6 – Creating Merged Grids
A dipping seam disappears where it reaches the surface. By merging
grids,
g ds, you force
o ce a
all tthe
eggrids
ds to follow
o o tthe
e base o
of weathering
eat e g when
e tthey
ey
reach the surface.
none of the merged grids have empty spaces (that is, null values) in
them that would cause errors when Minex performs mathematical
operations on the grids.
A
An alternative
lt ti technique
t h i — one that
th t you could
ld use ffor gently-dipping
tl di i
seams — is to merge grids up to a TOPCOAL grid.
