TS Long Term Stockpiles

The Long Term Stockpiles step allows users to configure the reclaim conditions of long term stockpiles. This gives users the ability to send material to a dump and then reclaim the same material at a later time. Use cases include modelling large LG stockpiles, rehabilitation, and land bridges.

Long Term Stockpiles Setup Task

To add a Long Term Stockpile and display this setup task:

1. In the Create Tables step in the Type column select “LongTermStockpile” option. This table type behaves exactly the same as other table types and can be assigned to phases in the “Map Fields” step.

Select Long Term Stockpile as a table type in Create Tables step

2. In the Map Fields step, map phase as a Long Term Stockpile.

Phases assigned to this table will be added as both a fillable destination and a reclaimable source. The source and destination phases can be referenced in the Destination Logic and Steps Logic to handle the movements to and from the Long Term Stockpile.

In the Long Term Stockpiles step each entry in this table consists of a long term stockpile, reclaim parcel and a trigger condition.

  • Reclaim Parcel - The parcel that is reported out in the transactions that occur from mining the stockpile. This is the parcel that the material dumped on the stockpile becomes, so it should be used in the destination logic rule for reclaiming.

  • Trigger - The condition that must be satisfied to allow reclaiming to commence. This is the same logic that is applied in Dynamic Haulage rules.
