HARP Modelling Module
HARP (Horizon Adaptive Rectangular Prism) Models are an enhanced Block Modelling structure specifically created for Stratigraphic Modelling situations.
The endpoint of a new, fully integrated Stratigraphic workflow 'Integrated Stratigraphic Modelling' - HARP models may be automatically created from structural surfaces (grids or triangulations), fault domains and quality (assay) grid models, without requiring detailed knowledge of Block Model creation processes.
HARP models are designed to accurately represent undulating, thin or faulted horizons with none of the 'steppiness' of traditional Block Models. The resultant HARP model for a deposit, may then be reserved, or scheduled against any size or shape of mining block or pit design without losing accuracy.
HARP Modelling benefits:
- A single HARP model replaces potentially thousands of structural and quality grids without loss of model resolution - this single file has an in-built audit trail
- Complex stratigraphic structures such as splits, faults (reverse, thrust or normal) as well as the use of multiple horizons are easily honoured
- Each single HARP prism consists of ten points (five at the top and five at the base) and may contain thousands of quality (assay) variables
- Simple to create, grade estimate, reserve and schedule
- Full dynamic viewing, plotting and analysis compatibility
- Access to almost all of Vulcans comprehensive grade estimation modules
