Managing Seismic Risk in Underground Metalliferous Mines Course
This course is designed to introduce mine geotechnical engineers to basic mine seismology concepts and their application in mining. Geotechnical engineers who work on medium to high risk seismic mines would benefit most from this course.

What are minodes?
Minodes are what we use in multiple places in mXrap if we want to assign information to development. They are just point locations, dotted along your development at regular intervals.
Using the ‘Minode Generator’ App mXrap users can create minodes using their Mine Geometry Model or survey files. Minodes are not generated automatically and should be updated periodically to reflect new development.
Grids
Grids are a dynamic tool used throughout mXrap to form seismic populations, perform calculations and display results. Taking time to set-up site appropriate grids not only makes performing analysis in mXrap more efficient, but it enables others to easily replicate your results. Most sites benefit from a mine and/or orebody wide coarse (sparse) and relatively dense grid, plus additional higher resolution (dense) grids for areas of interest.
Es:Ep Ratio Charts Have Moved
Es:Ep ratio charts can now be found in the ‘Parameter Distribution’ charts for the base filter (Charts > Parameter Distributions) and VSA’s (VSA > Charts > Parameter Distributions).
Select the EsEp option under chart controls to see the cumulative distributions for Es:Ep ratio.
Modifying the Imported Tags Meaning
Depending on your seismic monitoring system setup, you may be importing events with different tags into mXrap. When you open mXrap, any events with imported tags ‘b’ and ‘n’ are turned off by default and all other imported tags (e.g. ‘e’) are turned on. If your database contains other imported tags, you can change the meaning (GOOD, OUTLIER, or BLAST) using: General Setup Windows > Event Tag Editor > Imported Tag Meaning.
mXrap 6.0.6 – Release notes and Changelogs
mXrap version 6.0.6 is now available to all users. This release is focused on bugfixes and performance improvements and will be the final release for version 6.0.
