Engineering planning checklist
Open-Pit Mine Planning
Calculate RQD rock mass ratings, stripping ratios, and ore inventory volumes.
Use as a checklist, not an automated design workflow. Complete and verify each calculation independently. Only explicit carry-forward links move a compatible value; all other inputs remain your responsibility.
What this workflow covers
Calculate RQD rock mass ratings, stripping ratios, and ore inventory volumes.
This 3-step checklist is intended for mining engineer. Confirm each linked calculator's units, formula, assumptions and operating limits before using the result in a project decision.

Sequence Execution
1
Rock Quality Designation (RQD) & RMR Index
Scope-limited calculation
Calculate Rock Quality Designation (RQD %) and estimated Rock Mass Rating (RMR) from drill core logs.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Rock Quality Designation (RQD) & RMR Index.
2
Open-Pit Stripping Ratio Calculator
Calculate volumetric (m³/m³) and mass (t/t) stripping ratios for open-pit mine planning.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Open-Pit Stripping Ratio Calculator.
3
Stockpile Volume & Tonnage Calculator
Scope-limited calculation
Calculate volume and ore tonnage of conical and kidney/elongated stockpiles based on angle of repose.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Stockpile Volume & Tonnage Calculator.
