The key point is that you will be using the data to interpolate grades. To do this you will need static drillholes which are created using the HOLES3D process. All processes require Datamine format files so you will need to import the non-Datamine data and create Datamine files before running HOLES3D. For each of the files, run “File | Add to Project | Imported from Data Source…” which will create a Datamine file for each in the project. You will now be able to produce statistically valid drillholes for input into the GRADE or ESTIMA(TE) processes.
