15/88



8. IMPORT DRILLHOLE FILE FROM csv to Vulcan Isis database

Pay attention:1. How many csv data that will be imported to Vulcan isis database?2. Create new design file in Vulcan.

Tips:It will be better if the design file similar with the csv files that will be imported.

• Tables related to amount of csv files• Name have to similar with csv table header

Example:a. Total csv files 5 (dh_assay.csv; dh_collar.csv; dh_geology.csv; dh_rkmechs.csv;

dh_survey.csv)b. Look at the header inside of each csv file.

Step 1: Create new design file (.dsf file) 1. Open Isis2. File --- New design3. Create new dsf file --- example : mich.dsf4. OK


16/88



Step 2: new design file1. Create description --- example: Michael_data2. Type ----- clock on attribute then select the type ---- use drilling3. Desurvey Style ---- select : Tangent

Step 3: Insert table and row1. Open table menu --- Insert --- Tips: create name of table similar to csv file name.2. Create row (see picture) ---- Tips: make rows name similar to header of csv file3. Completed this stage --- total table will be same as the total csv files that will be imported

to Vulcan isis file.

4. Determine the “Primary Key” to connect between one to other table – exam: HOLEID5. CLOSE and SAVE the new dsf file.6. Please check the new dsf file

picture above)

Step 7: 1. Save the specification2. FINISH

CHECK YOUR NEW ISIS DATA.

Step 7: 1. File --- Open Database2. ISIS file --- select the new isis file that

you have created ----gtsddh_data.mich (gts is project;ddh_data is name of isis data base;

mich is name of design file that weused)

STEP 6:Cut off Grade: we can use cutoff grade if we want. But not for this time so we keep it same


81/88



Regions:We can use this menu if we want to bound the model base on polygon, Centre line (CL) ortriangulationExample: for stoping mine we can use stope center line and give the dimension of the stope

But for this exercise we don’t use this stage.So we pass to block selection menu.

STEP 7:Block selection: we will use all blocks. If we want to make block selection, we can click on“change” and create the block selection.


82/88



STEP 8:Save SpecificationCreate new file name: …… res (example we make same file name with step 2: bg_2.res)We can modify bg_2.res file with choose this file from the list (step 2) and give the different filename in step 8

Then we have to calculate bg_2.res fileThe result is .dmp file ---- example bg_2.dmp file

STEP 9: CALCULATE:1. Select the DMP file name from the list. The file names are same as .res files that we have

created. Example: we select bg_2.dmp file then calculate2. tick on Output CSV file


83/88



NOW WE HAVE dmp FILE (bg_2.dmp) and csv file

Open from window explorer to see the csv file.


84/88



CREATE REPORT FILE

STEP 9:Open Report template from the list. The extension files are .tabThe file names in the list will same as .res file that we created before

1. Select report template file (example: bg_2.tab)2. thick in read columns from dump file then select .dmp files from the list (bg_2.dmp)


85/88



STEP 10:Page set up

STEP 11:Header footer


86/88



STEP 12:Report Columns ---- from this sample we created 22 columns (see the picture)

STEP 13:Report Tables --- from this sample we created 4 tables (see the picture)

STEP 14:Save report template ---- we can create new report file name, use extension file .tabExample: we give name bg_2.tab


87/88



NOW WE have 2 FILES:1. .dmp FILE (bg_2.dmp)2. .tab file or REPORT template FILE (bg_2.tab)

Then we have to GENERATE the final report

STEP 15: GENERATE1. Select Reserves dump file from list ---- select: bg_2.dmp file

2. Create Output file with extension file use .rep ---- example: bg_2.rep 3. All tables or select tables ---- example select all table

4.We can choose the output report :

a. Output command to report window b. Post report to graphics c. Out put to excel spread sheet, create the spread sheet name


88/88


FINAL RESULT:We have 4 kind of table (check step 13)
