SURPAC

Gemcom Surpac™ is the world’s most popular geology and mine planning software, supporting open pit and underground operations and exploration projects in more than 120 countries. The software delivers efficiency and accuracy through ease-of-use, powerful 3D graphics and workflow automation that can be aligned to company-specific processes and data flows.

Surpac addresses all the requirements of geologists, surveyors, and mining engineers in the resource sector and is flexible enough to be suitable for every commodity, orebody and mining method. Its multilingual capabilities allow global companies to support a common solution across their operations.

SURPAC BENEFITS

• Comprehensive tools include: drillhole data management, geological modelling, block modelling, geostatistics, mine design, mine planning, resource estimation, and more.
• Increased efficiencies within teams result from better sharing of data, skills and project knowledge.
• All tasks in Surpac can be automated and aligned to company-specific processes and data flows.
• Software ease-of-use ensures staff develop an understanding of the system and of project data quickly.
• Surpac is modular and easily customised.
• Surpac reduces data duplication by connecting to relational databases and interfacing with common file formats from GIS, CAD and other systems.
• Integrated production scheduling with Gemcom MineSched™.
• Multilingual support: English, Chinese, Russian, Spanish and French.

GEOLOGICAL AND RESOURCE MODELLING

Geologists use Surpac to determine the physical characteristics of a deposit, even when the information available to them is limited. They achieve this by harnessing the system's powerful

3D graphics, geostatistics, and an integrated modelling environment.

Data Management

• Employ sophisticated geological data management tools to store, manage and review drilling data.
• Interface to any popular database product and work in real time while connected to that data.
• View and output sections quickly and easily using drillholes and existing topographic or pre-modelled data.

Estimation and Modelling

• Outstanding tools for sample compositing and geostatistics.
• Variogram modelling includes variogram fans and dynamic lag adjustment to help identify the best variograms for data.
• Estimation tools include an interface to GSLIB for both normal kriging and conditional simulation options.
• Comprehensive 3D wireframing tools enable the development of a truly representative model of any orebody.
• Block modelling tools cover an extensive range of functionality and are easy to use.
• Validating a model and generating any level of report can be done quickly and efficiently.

MINE PLANNING

Surpac delivers all the tools engineers need to create designs and plans for open pit and underground operations.In the system's integrated mine engineering environment, you can create design that maximise ore recovery, while complying with project constraints such as cut-off grade, economic limits and ground stability.

• Data from various sources can be viewed and incorporated into plans to support feasibility projects.
• Different pieces of information can be viewed simultaneously to ensure designs are within the physical constraints of the mining area and to maximise the economic extraction of a resource.
• Data can be used directly from other software package formats with Surpac’s sophisticated Data Plug-ins.
• Interact with all mine design data: drillholes; existing orebody and surface models; optimised pit shells; block and grid models, coloured by grade distribution; stope designs, and many more.

MINE PRODUCTION

Surpac provides applications for mining engineers, geologists and mine surveyors that ensure clear plans, effective communication and consistent data utilisation. The software manages drillhole, blasting and survey information, while linking to other databases used at mining operations.

Mine Survey and Ore Control

• Calculate and validate volumes quickly.
• Compare kriged models against raw drillhole data to optimise reserve extraction.
• Produce high quality to-scale maps of any relevant project information.
• Road and pit design tools are geared towards surveying setout, ensuring the necessary details required by earth movers are marked out accurately.
• Integrated resource models, pit designs and survey data results in up-to-date ore markouts and dig plans with grade and tonnage reports.

Automated Workflows

• Highlight end-of-month reconciliations and reporting problems through the simple automation of comparison reports using Surpac’s macro tools.
• Automate repetitive grade control and plotting tasks using macro functionality, customisable to company-specific processes and data flows.
• Develop new functions using the scripting language embedded within Surpac and assign routines to customised menu bars to better manage workflows.
