The geologist task is giving the information, which allows for exploitation of deposit with the
guarantee of:
the safety of people and machines,
the clean of deposit exploitation,
minimal devastation of the natural environment
(in the consequence of exploitation).
INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
The informations expected by miner from geologist can be divided in 4 groups:
I group – information about the deposit form – indispensable to open out the deposit,
II group – information about the type and quality of the mineral – indispensable in estimation of the utilization
value of mineral and designing of the enrichment type,
III group – information about deposit reserves (about mineral quantity in the deposit and about spacing of the
mineral in the deposit) – indispensable in estimation of the economic value of deposit and designing of the
exploitation method,
IV group – information about mining-geological conditions of the exploitation.
The geologist tasks include:
the geological charting of the deposit,
the sampling,
reserves esimation.
All results of the geologist tasks are presented on the map.
THE MAP IS ONE OF THE ELEMENTARY SOURCES OF GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
THE MAP IS USED FOR:
THE PREPARATION OF THE DRAFT OF MINE,
RUNNING THE EXPLOITATION,
ESTIMATION OF THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF DEPOSIT.
The digitalization of maps has became more popular recently, however majority of mining maps is
still kept in original (analog) form.
The digital drawing up the maps is useful because of:
the easiness of storing,
the easier accessibility to the data,
the easiness in modification and completing.
I. OBJECT AND RANGE OF THE
AutoCAD AND SURFER COMBINATION
I. OBJECT AND RANGE OF THE
AutoCAD AND SURFER COMBINATION
The GIS (Geographical Information Systems) software is very expensive so the combination of the Surfer and
AutoCAD software can be an alternative.
This method takes into consideration the specificity of the mine maps.
This method allows to combine:
different methods of the contour maps drawing (from the Surfer),
with
the scaling of maps (optional choice of maps format) and adequate selection of the mining-geological
details (from the AutoCAD).
Moreover, this software were chosen, because of the fact that both, Surfer and AutoCAD use
the CAD’s format of data transfer .dxf.
This method is used for the construction of maps of the chemical-technical and
petrographical parameters of coal.
Coal quality parameters, for which the maps were constructed, are based on national (Polish
Standards) and international standards (ECE Geneva).
These standards are based on the:
parameters of technical analysis like:
moisture content Wa [%],
ash content Aa [%], Ad [%],
volatile matter content Vdaf [%],
gross calorific value GCVdaf [MJ/kg],
calorific value CVdaf [MJ/kg],
parameters of elementary analysis like:
sulphur content Sta [%], S
td [%],
coking parameters like:
contraction a [%],
dilatation b [%],
Roga Index RI [-],
Swelling Index SI [-],
physical parameters like:
vitrinite reflectance in oil immersion R [%],
petrographic composition:
content of vitrinite group macerals Vtmmf [%],
content of liptinite group macerals Lmmf [%],
content of inertinite group macerals Immf [%],
Data including values of these parameters come from the drill-holes cards and
cards of the results of the channel samples’ analysis.
The maps of selected coal quality parameters (coking parameters: Roga Index and
Swelling Index) from the 2 coal seams (403 and 406) from one of Polish mine will
present this method.

These maps are constructed by Surfer using one of the contouring method:
Inverse Distance to a Power,
Kriging,
Minimum Curvature,
Modified Shepard's Method,
Natural Neighbor,
Nearest Neighbor,
Polynomial Regression,
Radial Basis Function,
Triangulation with Linear Interpolation,
Moving Average,
Data Metrics,
Local Polynomial.
The kriging is the most useful method for the precise estimation changes of the
quality parameters values.
The maps constructed by this method should be saved in .dxf format.

The picture below is the example of a matrix of the typical coal seam map with the most
fundamental elements like:
the coordinate system
the mine field border
the faults
the seam outcrop
Depending on the destination, the maps can be completed with necessary details, like:
the localization of the drill-holes
the sampling points
the underground structure of the mine,
mine workings
the details of the underground mine

VARIANT II:
It is also possible to compile the maps of the same parameter (for instance Roga Index RI or

observe the changes of the pararameter values in relation to depth.

II variant: different coal seams but the same parameter
The contour maps of the quality parameters allow to determinate the possibilities of the coal
utilization.
According to the Polish Standards the coal quality is determinated only on the base of the 5
parameters:
volatile matter content Vdaf [%],
Roga Index RI [-],
dilatation b [%],
Swelling Index SI [-],
calorific value CVdaf [MJ/kg].
3.4. THE MAPS OF THE TYPES OF COAL3.4. THE MAPS OF THE TYPES OF COAL
The appropriate ranges of the values of these parameters allow to distinguish types of coal.
On the base of the types of coal it’s possible to determinate very precisely the way of the coal
utilization in different branches of industry:
power coals,
coking coals
and the others.

The possibility of imposing different, selected layers allows to present only the essential data.
This procedure allows to reduce the amount of the needless details on the maps.
CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
The scaling of maps makes possible to plot whole maps or their fragments in different formats.
Digital form of the map saving is conducive to easier storing, easier accessibility of the data and
easier modification and completing.
