When you start a new project, you must create a directory structure using the appropriate operating system command. Your work directory structure must be carefully thought out before you start a project to manage your data efficiently. It is very easy to generate a large number of files and for this reason you should have an organised data structure in place to avoid having hundreds of files stored in a single directory. Give your directories meaningful names.
For a typical minesite, an example of a sensible directory structure could be as follows:
EUREKA mine name \GEOLOGY geology \EXPLORE exploration data \DEVELOP Development data \GRADE Production grade control data \PLANNING mine planning \WHITTLE optimisation data \PIT surface design data \UGROUND underground design data \SURVEY surveying \PIT open pit survey \LEVELS underground level survey \STOPE underground stope survey |
