What is a geological block model?

In mining, the geological block model is the foundation of any mining project as it contains all the grade and material information for the mining deposit. The success and failure of a mining operation can rest largely on how the block model is used to evaluate mineral assets.

The picture above shows the concept of the mining geological block model which can be simply imported into Cirrus. Each block represents an actual coordinate location and contains estimations for grade and material data.
