Today’s mining industry and mining operations are all about information. Whichever mining operation has superior data will produce more raw materials and make higher profits. Advancing the project as it goes along means collecting and using information at a fast pace. Integrating all the information you need about all aspects of a mining operation and all stages, from exploration to initial drillholes, to production of materials, and more. Micromine integrates all the information storage and processing power into one framework that makes it easy to advance the project and move forward with production.
The more detailed information you are getting in real time about what materials and layers truly lie beneath the surface of the earth, the better a mining operation will go for workers, investors, executives, and managers. It’s not all about information, it’s also about how that information is disseminated and used by the entire organization. The information about safety and the general state of the mine must be easily shared among stakeholders. The data must also be easily-decipherable and digested so it can be used to the greatest effect. Using this information can improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Using a 3-D exploration and mine design solution like Micromine, in conjuction with Geobank, MICROMINE’s geological data management system, stakeholders and executives can plan for the future, avoid pitfalls, and create a safer environment for the miners. Micromine, the data analysis tool includes the software needed to use that data to model, estimate, design, optimize, and schedule mining work to get the maximum amount of profit and returns on investment for everyone. Using these tools, internal managers and executives, as well as outside stakeholders, can get a better understanding of the project in real time.
Micromine has ten modules all created to increase the cost-effectiveness of mining operations. Instead of spending big to explore areas with imperfect information, mining operations can detect resources and invest in the areas that will yield them the best returns in as short a time as possible. As the drilling process continues, managers and owners can collect more sophisticated data for use as the project progresses, making adjustments at the right times to avoid slowdowns or worse.
More data means better safety. With powerful and intuitive tools for mining engineers, open pit mines can be designed for maximum efficiency and safety in mind. Using Micromine, engineers can easily turn the raw data into three-dimensional designs that go into designing surface and underground mines. Enhanced data collection and mine design software puts talented mine designers in the driver’s seat for creating the best possible mine for the cost.
As the mining project continues using Micromine and Geobank, the amount of data increases, and designs can be modified to meet changing conditions when they arrive. The keys for this software are functionality, versatility and ease of use. Being able to advance the project and take the mine to the next level is about making adjustments and rolling with any kind of curveball or wrench being thrown in. Adaptable, scalable data collecting software helps projects stay on schedule and on budget.
