Total Mineral Resource Calculator
Reconcile nonduplicate already classified resource blocks with unknown inventory, no reserve/resource overlapping categories added together or new geological classification. Caller independently verifies units, applicability and matching conditions; no operational recipe, safety certification, causal efficacy or legal/resource classification is inferred.
Description
A resource inventory summary needs nonduplicate blocks with classifications already assigned independently.
A resource inventory summary needs nonduplicate blocks with classifications already assigned independently.1
Unknown labels remain separate from classified tonnage.
When to use Total Mineral Resource Calculator
Use this tool to calculate or review the supplied observations under the stated rules. Match completed survey or ledger observations by block, segment or stage and confirm their units and boundaries.
How to use Total Mineral Resource Calculator and understand its results
- Match completed survey or ledger observations by block, segment or stage and confirm their units and boundaries.
- Enter callerResourceBlockIds, observedResourceDryTonnes, callerIndependentResourceClassLabels, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read knownClassifiedInventoryTonnes, unclassifiedInventoryTonnes. Inspect nested result fields where present, and review unknown records separately from known matches.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| callerResourceBlockIds | Caller resource block ids | list of string | Required |
| observedResourceDryTonnes | Observed resource dry tonnes | list of number | Required |
| callerIndependentResourceClassLabels | Caller independent resource class labels | list of string | Required |
Use nonempty aligned unique nonblank block IDs, nonnegative dry tonnes and labels limited to measured, indicated, inferred or literal unknown. Sum tonnes with the named classes and separately sum unknown tonnes. Other labels fail. No reserve/resource categories are added across ledgers.
classifiedTonnes=Σ_namedClasses tonnes; unknownTonnes=Σ_labelUnknown tonnes Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| knownClassifiedInventoryTonnes | Known classified inventory tonnes | number |
| unclassifiedInventoryTonnes | Unclassified inventory tonnes | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Units, ledger boundaries, survey interpretation and model applicability must be independently established. These summaries do not assign reserve/resource classifications or establish support adequacy, ventilation safety or an operating setting.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Lists and matrices must be dense, without missing cells. Numeric lists allow at most 10000 entries; ordinary string lists allow at most 128 strings of 128 UTF-16 units each; numeric matrices allow at most 128 rows and 128 columns, subject to narrower requirements above.
