The
Carlson
Geology
Module
is a
mining
add-on
to AutoCAD
for the
complete
geologic
modeling
package.
The process
from
importing
drillholes,
validating
the data
and modeling
the ore
to reserve
calculation
is seamless.
Other
factors
such
as 3D
viewing
of the
drillholes
and blocks,
cross
sections
and queries
are part
of the
process
for the
geologist
to accurately
represent
the ore
body
for mining.
Drillholes:
Drillholes
may be
imported
for grid
and/or
block
modeling.
Drillholes
can be
stored
in the
dwg,
or linked
to an
external
database.
The Geology
Module
can import
nearly
any known
ASCII
drillhole
format,
as well
as almost
30 fixed
drillhole
formats
from
other
companies
and programs,
utilizing
almost
any type
of data.
Queries,
reports,
and
parameter
compliance
filters
start
the
modeling
process
for
accurate
model
representation.
Quality
attribute
equations
of
unlimited
parameters
coupled
with
unlimited
grid
sizes
and
resolutions
produce
a detailed
model
of
any
size.
Drillholes
can
be
stored
in
the
drawing
database,
or
linked
to
an
external
database
of
choice
such
as
Microsoft
Access
or
even
Excel.
Drillholes
can
be
both
angled
and
vertical,
and
inspected
real-time
with
the
drillhole
inspector,
which
displays
chosen
values
as
the
cursor
is
moved
from
hole
to
hole.
Drillhole
correlation
and
fence
diagrams
are
readily
developed
with
automated
macros
to
update
the
strata
names.
Strata
within
several
geologic
columns
can
be
selected,
named
and
correlated
leading
to
dynamic
updating
of
the
corresponding
drillholes
in
the
database.
Even when
you post
drillhole
text
in plan
view,
the labels
are user-defined.
Drilling
can be
updated
with
a powerful
drillhole
datasheet Ð a
data
management
spreadsheet,
which
allows
the
user
to
encode
collar,
strata
and
bed
data
along
with
lithologic
information
and
unlimited
quality
parameters.
Not
only
can
strata
within
beds
be
composited
for
quality,
but
beds
can
be
subdivided.
A 20m
ore
body
or
coal
seam,
for
example,
can
be
automatically
divided
into
many
different
beds
based
on
elevations,
quality
analysis
or
gridded
surfaces,
allowing
for
composited
qualities
for
each
bed. This
is
useful
for
analysis
of
bench-based
reserves,
where
ore
quality
is
calculated
by
bench
or
3D
block,
not
by
association
with
a strata
or
bed.
Strata
or
lithologic
units
can
be
designated
as
Key
(ore)
or
Non-key
(waste)
during
setup
and
can
later
be
edited
to
further
detail
the
geologic
model.
The
popular
"Ferm
Code"
designation
is available,
which
will
associate
the proper
hatch
pattern
with
each
Ferm
Code
in geologic
columns
and fence
diagrams.
The routine
also
supports
user-defined "horizon
codes" on
individual
strata
which
can
be
used
to
select
or
deselect
specific
data
for
modeling.
Individual
drillholes
can
be
selected
from
the
screen
for
straight
forward
edits
or
updates.
Queries
on
drillholes
for
various
statistics
can
be
reported
quickly
and
easily.
Interrogation
of
the
geologic
model
is
facilitated
with
2D
or
3D
diagrams.
The
3D
view
option
allows
the
geologist
to
see
the
drillhole
lithology
and
downhole
data
displayed
from
any
desired
viewpoint. Likewise,
triangulated,
contoured
or
gridded
surfaces
can
be
displayed
in
3D
to
compare
against
the
geological
columns.
Fence
diagrams,
or
geologic
cross
sections,
can
be
constructed
between
a series
of
holes
to
investigate
correlation.
The
Geology
Module
includes
a wide
range
of features
that
have
specialized
application:
"Split
Bed"
allows
for division
of large
coal,
limestone
and ore
seams
into
beds
defined
by elevation,
thickness
or quality
and/or
grid
surfaces,
leading
to compositing
of qualities
and tonnage
calculations
for each
bed zone.
In this
way,
three
or four
vertically-defined
benches
within
the same
pit can
be differentiated
by quality
and tonnage.
"Parameter
Compliance"
will
"quick"
analyze
drillholes
for compliance
against
parameter
specifications
for ore
attributes,
highlighting
drillholes
that
pass.
Compliance
zones
will
be defined
by closed
polylines
or hatched,
as an
option.
Ore bodies
can be
broken
down
into
types
of ore
based
on filtering
raw drillhole
data
through
parameter
compliance
files
that
are associated
with
specific
ore characteristics.
Using
this
technique,
for example,
a clay
seam
may be
defined
as "medical
filler"
or "paper
grade"
based
on passing
the parameter
compliance
test,
leading
to mapping
of grades
of ore.
Two
separate
programs
can
complement the Geology
Module.
Drillholes
can
be stored
in
the powerful
Hole
Manager
database
program
where
queries
and
reports can be
generated.
Quality
compositing
is
seamless resulting
in
color coded
entries
for
quick verification.
If
there are electronic
logs,
or
E-Log files,
such
as
the common
FAS
file, these
can
also be batch-imported
in
the Hole
Manager.
Standard
picks
for
values such
as
gamma, resistivity,
density
and
caliper are
available,
as
are any customizable
parameter
and
range for different
rock
types.
Electronic
drillholes
are
then added
to
the database
for
modeling and comparison
with
the
core and drillers
log.
Isopach
Maps:
After
the drillholes
are correlated
and validated,
various
modeling
routines
utilize
the data.
Isopach
maps
can be
generated
from
a grid
file
or drillholes
on screen.
There
are Auto-Run
Isopach
macros
to generate
an isopach
map,
each
with
its own
hatching,
in a
separate
drawing.
Geological
maps
of the
surface
topography
may be
drawn
illustrating
the outcropping
geology
on a
3D surface.
Custom
colors
and naming
are utilized
and hatched
using the
predefined
strata
and beds.
Steps
such
as
fence
and
block
diagramming
can
be
conducted
from
stored
models
or
directly
from
screen-selected
drillholes.
Seam
conformance,
pinchout,
faults,
outcrops,
sub-crops,
splitting
and
parting
logic
are
an
intrinsic
part
of
all
of
the
major
modeling
techniques.
Geologists
can
assert
control
over
raw
drillhole
data
by
specifying
strata
limit
lines
for
subcrops
and
outcrops,
and
by
designating "3D
polylines" for
strata
thickness
or
elevations.
In
this
way,
highwall,
pit
and
underground
mine
survey
information
can
be
translated
into
more
accurate
structure
modeling.
The
geologic
model
accepts
pit
or
channel
samples
and
outcrop
samples.
Auto-Run
Grid
macros
will
update
entire
sets
of
grid
files
when
new
drillholes
are
added
from
new
drilling
programs.
Grid
statistics
and
history
are
accessible
for
review
as
necessary.
Grid
inspectors
allow real-time
verification
of
the
grid
values
with
the
cursor
as
grid
values
display
at
the
cursor
location.
Gridding:
All
of
the
major
geological
modeling
techniques
are
supported,
such
as
triangulation,
inverse
distance,
kriging,
polynomial
and
least
squares.
Calculate
Residuals,
with
automation,
will
analyze
all
of
the
modeling
methods
for
each
specific
variable
and
report
the
amount
of
error
associated
with
each
method,
giving
the
user
a recommendation
on
which
method
is
better
suited
for
the
attribute
gridded.
Grid
file
utilities,
also
with
macros, allow
quick
and
flexible
modification
of
gridded
surfaces
within
defined
areas,
including
grid-to-grid
algebraic
operations,
merging,
nulling,
extrapolating,
and
changing
resolutions.
There
are
routines
to
composite
structure
grids
based
on
quality
analysis
and
to
convert
quality
grids
to
as
delivered.
Block
Models:
Block
modeling
can be
by 3D
inverse
distance,
Kriging
or discrete.
This
creates
a block
model
that
can be
further
analyzed
and displayed
through
user
entered
grade
parameter
files,
viewed
in 3D
and cross
sections
and used
for reserve
calculations
of the
different
grades.
Reserves:
Once
the
drillholes
and
model
are
checked
and
validated,
Surface
or
Underground
Mine
Reserves
and
volumes
can
be
calculated
from
drillholes
on
the
fly,
from
a
strata
based
grid
model,
or
from
a
block
models.
Block
model
reserves
will
be
calculated
using
the
grade
parameter
fileÑvolumes
within
certain
quality
ranges
are
automatically
calculated.
For
example,
in
Pit
24,
there
are
5020
tons
above
90%
calcium;
10440
tons
from
80%-90%
calcium,
etc.;
not
only
in
plan
view
but
in
3D.
Carlson
offers
advanced
polyline
logic
that
can
process
reserve
results
for
any
combination
of
complex
inclusion
perimeters
and
interior "exclusion" perimeters.
For
example,
if
an
area
contains
previously
mined
underground
works,
these
can
be "excluded" from
the
reserve
calculation.
Reserving
has
many
options
for
dilution,
parting
thickness,
separable
recovery
factors
and
densities
and
strip
ratio.
Surface
mines
can
utilize
highwall
slopes,
and
even
an
ultimate
pit
shell
for
overall
sloped
reserves,
even
between
a defined
top
and
bottom
elevation.
Also
as
an
option,
the "Surface
History
Report" creates
a new
surface
for
each
bench
and
pit.
This
report
can
be
selected
to
calculate
the
reserve
for
each
pit
and
bench
instantly.
The
command
Reserve
Classification
calculates "measured,
indicated
and
inferred" quantities
for
a site
and
outputs
it
in
a custom
report,
with
optional
GIS
links.
Reports
are
user-defined
for
all
reserve
calculations
and
schedules;
that
can
include
such
items
as
tonnage,
overburden,
strip
ratio,
area
mined,
qualities,
periods,
equipment
and
cost.
Report
formats
are
easily
constructed
and
then
saved
and
recalled
for
specific
applications
or
different
mine
sites.
The
reports
can
be
directly
linked
and
exported
to
Microsoft
Excel
or
Access
for
spreadsheet and
database
presentation
from
within
Carlson
Mining
and
AutoCAD.

| Underground
Mining
Module |
|
| |
The
Carlson
Underground
Mining
Module
provides
all the
tools for
designing
and scheduling
the mine
projections
and for
mapping
the mine
as it is
surveyed.
The strong
mine projection
commands
also contribute
to the
precise
and verifiable
mine scheduling
and equipment
timing.
Mine
Projections
and Layout:
Complete
mine projections
and ventilation
can be created
in seconds
instead of
hours. Set
a few parameters
and our routines
will generate
hundreds
of breaks
and projections
with projected
pillars and
optionally
rooms, beltline
and ventilation
directions.
Create angled
crosscuts
for continuous
haulage situations,
or station
the crosscuts for
advance.
If you want
rounded pillars,
or punch-outs
along the
rib line,
or bracketed
pillars to
indicate
future mining,
the options
are there.
For ventilation,
you control
the type
of air in
each entry
and you can
automatically
place stops,
man-doors
and escape
ways. It
even handles
splits in
ventilation
using three
rows of stoppings.
A
full array
of mine symbols
may be used
to create
the final
map from
the Mine
Symbol Library.
Mine symbols
may also
be user-defined.
Mine survey
notes can
be entered
by azimuth
at the command
line or in
a spreadsheet
type dialog
that resembles
a field book.
Offset notes
to locate
pillars and
rib lines
can be entered
by a variety
of flexible methods
based on
industry
conventions
(distance
up and left/right
to corners).
For example,
distance
up can be
based on
stationing
versus actual
distance,
and distances
can be entered
from the
face, rather
than forward.
The style
of note entry
can be configured
and set as
default.
The
Underground
Module has
the power
for drafting
the mine.
It has the
feature everyone
wants; we
draw the
mine automatically
from the
note entry.
Two methods
are available.
1-the coding
of the offsets
can be saved
to file and
the mine
will draw
according
to the coded
offsets and
2-the program
will auto-detect
pillar corners
within projection lines
and connect
them on the
basis of
the screen
graphics.
The second
method is
more tolerant
of mine note
entry conducted
in different
work sessions.
Of course,
the user
can complete
the map quickly,
using AutoCAD
snap, to
connect the
points. All
features
are layerized
for selective
freezing
and thawing.
Pillars,
for example
are automatically
placed in
the Pillars
layer. The
program will
search for
that layer
for certain
commands.
Quantities:
There are
several methods
to quickly
generate
volumes.
For coal
applications,
the Coal
Sections
representing
channel samples
can be user-defined
to include
items such
as coal,
rock and
bone, entered
and repeated
in any sequence.
When windowed
along with
the mine
workings,
tonnage reports
are generated.
The symbol
representing
the sample
point is
placed at
the correct "Z" elevation
of the coal
thickness,
and can be
used to create
coal thickness
isopach maps
in conjunction
with or independent
of drillhole
data. Coal
sections can
combine with
drillhole data
for more accurate
coal thickness
modeling. Tonnages
are computed
by either average
or grid based
methods. Because
of intelligent
layering, the
user simply
selects all
objects, and
the program
auto-detects
perimeter,
pillars and
coal sections,
leading to
the tonnage
reports.
The area
of mining
is hatched
as a check
on the accuracy
of the selection
set. If a
pillar mistakenly
gets hatched,
it means
there is
a problem
that needs
to be addressed.
Boundaries
can be automatically
divided by
property
or lease
ownership
and used
to separate
the tonnages.
The mine
pillars and
perimeter
are automatically
divided by
ownership
in unique
polyline
processing.
Pillars:
Any pattern
of pillar
cut can be
defined and
added to
a display
of pillar
cut icon
templates.
Any selected
icon can
be used to
cut pillars
for retreat
mining. Two
methods of
cutting are
available.
1-Draw the
closed cut
perimeter
for volumes
and leave
the pillar
intact, or
2-cut the
pillar out
and show
only the
remaining
pillar stumps. Pillars
can be further
modified
by user-defined
corner chamfers.
Companies
that do not
survey every
pillar corner
can map deep
mines by
use of the
Advanced
Projections
command followed
by chamfering
of the notched
pillar corners.
The
Underground
Mine Reserves
command contains
features
similar to
the Surface
Mine Reserves.
Drillholes,
channel samples
or pre-modeled
grid files
of the seams
are used
for calculation.
Quality attributes,
thickness,
and grades
are calculated
and displayed
in the reports.
Reports are
user-defined
for all reserve
calculations
and schedules;
that can
include such
items as
tonnage,
overburden,
strip ratio,
area mined,
qualities,
periods,
equipment
and cost.
Report
formats
are easily
constructed
and then
saved and
recalled
for specific
applications
or different
mine sites.
The reports
can be directly
linked and
exported
to Microsoft
Excel or
Access for
spreadsheet
and database
presentation
from within
Carlson Mining
and AutoCAD.
Underground
Mine Timing:
Underground
mines can
be designed
schematically
as centerlines
with associated
dimensions,
or can
be laid
out formally
using the
Advanced
Projections
command,
complete
with pillars
and perimeters
(outer rib
lines).
If a complete
layout approach
is used,
the program
will detect
extraction
ratios using
the non recovered
pillars.
Precedence
becomes critical
in underground
mining where,
for example
the longwall
cannot proceed before
the surrounding
room and pillar
advances are
completed. The
timing routines
can lead to unexpected
and valuable
information on
idled equipment,
production rates
and qualities,
and may even
reveal portions
of the mine that
are cut-off from
mining altogether
by an illogical
equipment assignment.
The mine planner
can reassign
equipment, alter
layout elements
and precedence,
and try a new "what-if" timing
scenario.
Retreat mining
may be part
of the schedule,
splitting
the panels
by advance
and retreat.
Equipment
definition
is straight
forward for
each unit,
with underground
mining rates
based on
tonnage,
linear advance
(entries
and crosscuts),
or forward
distance.
Equipment
calendars
determine
when each
unit is down
or working,
shift by
shift and
day by day.
Reporting
and Graphics:
The ease
of use
and ability
to export
to Excel
is one
of the
feature
highlights
during
a demonstration.
Multiple
equipment
sets can
be put
in motion,
with final
results
reported
in a report
formatter
that exports
to Excel
or Access,
and displays
graphically
as colorized
zones.
Zones of
mining
can be
user-defined
with any
color scheme
in the
form of
solid fill
or hatching.
Detailed
reports
are produced from
most every
Mining routine.
These reports
can be modified
by the user
and expanded
to include
derived output
values. Report
formats can
be named,
saved and
recalled.
Likewise,
drawings
and dialog
boxes can
be incorporated
into documents
with simple
cut and paste
methods.
The superior
compatibility
with PC based
software,
working within
the Windows
environment,
streamlines
mine planning
from start
to finish.

| Surface
Mining Module |
|
| |
The Carlson
Surface Mining
Module contains
the necessary
tools for complex
surface mine
design and
scheduling
with equipment
timing. The
typical progression
of the steps
would be to
create and
layout pits,
calculate reserves,
then schedule
the mine. Other
design factors
come into play,
such as cross-sectional
design with
dragline range
diagrams and
3D pit and
fill design
routines.
Pits:
The Carlson
Surface Mining
Module includes
many intelligent
routines for
complex surface
mining techniques
and design.
Pit design
and layout
uses several
pit layout
algorithms
to represent
actual mine
pits or simply
to subdivide
reserves into
smaller production
blocks for
reserves or
scheduling.
The layout
can be of any
shape and extremely
complex using commands
such as Pit
Matrix Layout
and Layout
by Advance.
Pits can be
further subdivided
and identified
by ownership
automatically
for instant
lease and royalty
calculations
by owner using
the property
lines.
Reserves
and Scheduling:
The Surface
Mining Module
includes the
same Surface
Mine Reserves
command described
in the Geology
Module section.
After the reserves
are calculated,
the mine planning
and scheduling
begin. Production
equipment fleets
for overburden
and the ore
is defined
based on shift
and hourly
rates. Maintenance
and availability
factors can
be added for
rate variations.
De-rating by date, bench
thickness or
bench number
is an advanced
setting for
each unit.
Surface mining
rates can be
based on overburden
removal or
ore tonnage.
Advanced equipment
options allow
for de-rating
by time of
year, thickness
or bench number.
Rehandle tables
can be applied
to thickness
of the benches
for each piece
of equipment.
Equipment calendars
can be applied
to individual
or collective
equipment fleets.
Equipment scheduled
hours/days
can be reviewed
graphically
and even edited
graphically.
Equipment and
period reports
are instant.
Multiple calendars
may be created
for "what
if" scenarios.
Calendar reports
are instantly
produced by
year or each
piece. In the
pit based Production
Timing, color
coded blocks
will highlight
the production
timing and
production
statistics.
"Pre-scheduler"
runs report
the production
by time period
to give an
initial starting
point. Equipment
will mine through
single pits
or predefined
directional
attributes
associated
with the pits.
Even in large
single-pit examples,
the equipment
will detect the
undulations of
the material
quantity and
quality to produce
distinct production
values for each
month or other
user-defined
mining period.
Timing can be
based on calendar
periods or tonnages
of coal or other
mineral, or on
volume of overburden.
Customized production
requirements
can be set (such
as: Jan-150,000
tons, Feb-180,000
tons, Mar-200,000 tons).
Timing blocks
can be stacked
vertically as
well as laid
out horizontally,
with precedence
requirements
(upper blocks
must be mined
before lower
blocks in the
same pit). Benches
may be offset
or staggered
to mine in a "stair
step" fashion.
The benches may
also be strata-based,
elevation-based,
or combined with
a block model
and mined by
quality. Surfaces
may be output
for each pit
and bench for
graphical 3D
representation
of each period.
Reporting
and Graphics:
The ease of use
and ability to
export to Excel
is one of the
software highlights
during a demonstration.
Multiple equipment
sets can be put
in motion, with
final results
reported in a
report formatter
that exports
to Excel or Access,
and displays
graphically as
colorized zones.
Zones of mining
can be user-defined
with any color
scheme in the
form of solid
fill or hatching.
Detailed reports
are produced from
most every Mining
routine. These
reports can be
modified by the
user and expanded
to include derived
output values.
Report formats
can be named,
saved and recalled.
Likewise, drawings
and dialog boxes
can be incorporated
into documents
with simple cut
and paste methods.
The superior
compatibility
with PC based
software, working
within the Windows
environment,
streamlines mine
planning from
start to finish.
Dragline
Range Diagrams:
The Surface Mining
Module contains
interactive Range
Diagram options
for detailing
dragline sequences
and associated
volumes. Dragline
height, reach
and digging depth
limits are set
for control.
The range diagram
routines allow
the user to specify
cuts by picking,
or with polyline
boundaries and
then places the
cut in the spoil
according to
pre-designated
swell factors
and angles of
repose. Spoil peaks can be
flattened according
to user-defined
specifications
with a single
command. Rehandle
and final place
material are
automatically
accumulated according
to equipment
type, leading
to production
rates and costs.
Automated long-range
dragline planning
is facilitated
with routines
that accumulate
dragline quantities
by pit according
to user-defined
schedules. Graphic
output details
the mining progression
as the production
and quality statistics
are being compiled.
Parameters for
draglines can
be precisely
defined and used
both in the 3D
dragline simulation
routine and in
section view
pit layouts.
The mine engineer
can seek out
the most efficient
mine design by
testing layouts
in plan, section
and 3D view.
Dozer push analysis
can be combined
with cast blasting,
shovel and dragline
analysis to obtain
the optimal combination
of equipment and
mining sequencing.
3D
Pit and Spoil
Design:
Design Bench
Pit creates 3D
pits with varied
bench parameters
on different
sides of the
pits. The slope,
width and height
of the benches
can change as
the pit advances
through different
material or depth.
Pits can be designed
to go down and
in, or up and
out from the
starting baseline-very
useful for quarry
design. Pits
and benches are
stored in a history
file for 3D viewing
of the mine progression
and 3D staggered
and sloped volumes.
3D Spoil and
stockpiles can
be automatically
sized with Design
Spoil Pile and
placed in a footprint
based on a target
size or volume.
Options for varying
the elevation
or sliding a
side to get to
the targeted
volume automate
the process.
Using Define
Fill/Cut, 3D
benched pits
descend into
the ore zone
for pit optimization.
Ramps are automatically
carved into the
pit, at the slope
and starting
location you
select-Even with
switchbacks!
Using the Lerch-Grossman
algorithm as
an option, pit
optimization
placement and
depth is obtained
from the block
models converted
to cost models.
Surfaces,
Roads and Ramps:
Carlson integrates
geologic and
surface modeling
with plan view,
3D view and
section view
mine layout routines.
Engineering concepts
and "what
if" scenarios
are easily converted
into surface
mine designs.
All of these
design options
work from actual
surface topography,
geologic data
and equipment
parameters, leading
to accurate calculations
of overburden,
ore quantities,
strip ratios,
rehandle and
ultimately cost.
Plan view designs
include 3D view
presentation
options, and
3D and sectional
layouts also
produce the plan
view. You can
choose any design
method and output
format desired.
Carlson "specializes"
in modeling surfaces.
Any road centerline,
dam, ditch centerline,
building pad,
pit, or other
defined object
can be converted
into a final
terrain by simply
picking the feature
and windowing
the existing
terrain. Roads
in 3D, mine pits,
ramps, diversion
ditches, and
embankment dams
are all carved
into existing
terrain and ready
for the next
terrain model
addition. The
Carlson Civil
Module contains
many of the necessary
commands for road and ramp
design. By a
process of cumulative
design, any finished
landform can
be created from
the initial contour
map. Powerful
Grid or TIN File
Utilities allow
for 3D viewing
of "grid
or TIN math"
operations for
instant model
verification.
The Carlson Civil
road template
routine has explicit
entries for multiple
cut slopes with
ditches (for
benching) and
berm placement
subject to conditional
fill requirements.
Template entry
is simplified
through a graphic
interface. Ramp
templates may
be applied to
3D polylines
for instant ramp
design and graphic
output. A 3D
polyline combined
with a typical
ramp cross-section
is all that is
needed to build
a ramp into a
high-wall. |

| Basic
Mining Module |
|
| |
The
Basic Mining
Module had
its start
as part of
the former
program SurvCADD
which began
as a mine
surveying
package,
with strong
roots in
the coal
mining region
of the U.S.
Appalachians.
Other modules
have come
and gone,
yet this
module still
survives.
It is the
perfect AutoCAD
mining add-on
for a user
who needs
just the
basics, at
a low price.
Features
such as basic
drillhole
entry, reserves
and fence
diagrams
(on-the-fly
only, not
from a stored
model), underground
mine mapping
and layout
and quantities
are the essence
of the module.
Every command
is also included
somewhere
in the other
mining modules,
Geology,
Surface and
Underground.
For a user
who has these
three, the
Basic Mining
is not necessary. It
is geared
for the occasional
" miner",
someone who
wants a low
cost tool
for simple
mining practices
within AutoCAD.
At $1000,
it is a definite
bargain.
It can be
upgraded
to any of
the other
Carlson Mining
Modules at
any time.
