Description

Our flagship exploration and 3D modelling solution has empowered global geologists for more than 30 years to prospect smarter, model faster and estimate with greater confidence. The latest release features include:

• Improvements to our powerful 3D GIS visualisation environment for optimised interrogation and comprehension of spatial data. Some of these improvements include enhancements to annotations and labelling to improve stakeholder communication without needing to step outside the product.

• Greater ease for users to incorporate their modern tools of choice while streamlining workflows by adding support for PostgreSQL, XYZ Tiles and Web Feature Services. Supporting open-source databases and public domain formats enables users to incorporate critical geographic information without undertaking time-consuming and risky manual workarounds.
• Introduction of age relationships between faults and lithologies in the geology modeller tool*, giving users a faster, more dynamic modelling workflow. It’s now easier to model larger varieties of geological settings with the new fault modelling process that enables users to limit faults by geological units. This means that faults no longer have to cut through every lithology.
• Our latest release brings even more exciting resource estimation capabilities with improvements to the variogram map enabling users to further interact, refine and assess ore body orientations.

Micromine Beyond provides one integrated environment to streamline every aspect of underground and surface optimisation, mine design and surveying. Our teams have delivered speed and performance improvements and have also introduced:

• Greater flexibility locating blast-rounds with placement no longer restricted to centreline strings. Plus, incorporate every detail for production schedules with block model attributes and blast consumables now reportable.
• Optimise open pits faster with a 25% typical speed improvement and new analysis tools to ensure the best results arrive sooner.
• A better blast design experience with more interactive tools for visualisation and manipulation as well as greater control over data outputs.
• Generate more realistic blast solids and design outputs using new tools for automated placement and manipulation of ring designs.

The next decade will be one of the most exciting and transformative periods in the mining industry’s history as it strives toward meeting demands for critical raw materials while shifting to a low-carbon and low-waste future. It’s our mission to help clients reach this milestone which is why we have taken the next step towards operational optimisation, our world-leading mine control and fleet management solution, Micromine Pitram, having introduced:

• A fully integrated Equipment Health feature pack available with the Micromine Pitram For Mobile Enabled Productivity subscription. Micromine Pitram has a rich history of partnering with clients and third parties to incorporate all equipment types and vendors, enabling operations to extract the highest possible value from their investment. Our Equipment Health initiative continues this approach by providing an OEM-agnostic solution that provides operations with actionable insights to reduce mobile fleet breakdowns, repairs and inventory costs. Utilising OEM-agnostic data taken directly from an asset, Equipment Health will enable near real-time condition monitoring delivered over Wi-Fi without needing to download manually from equipment.

• Cost-effective Pitram Positioning technology, unlocking even greater possibilities for underground operations. This technology allows almost any miner to take advantage of Micromine’s advanced offerings that rely on location-based data, such as Pitram Vision and Pitram 3D. Utilising Bluetooth low-energy beacons installed at selected operational locations, positioning data is fed to in-range Pitram Mobile in-cab devices with incredible accuracy. This can trigger additional actions such as automated waypoints or automated location and equipment rules. Best yet, the underground positioning software offering is included at no additional cost as part of Micromine Pitram’s Mobile-Enabled Productivity subscription package.

Micromine Geobank helps mining organisations take control of their geoscientific information to improve productivity, reduce errors, build confidence, boost insights and power workplace decisions.

• The solution has expanded to introduce the beta offering for a fully tailored and purpose-built Australian coal field-logging solution. This new offering will enable Australian coal companies to bring early insight to exploration by giving field geologists visual context from surrounding holes during logging and depth correction- all while in the field and based on the CoalLog format.
• Micromine Geobank’s desktop solution allow’s users to view their data in context with Georeferenced imagery now available in Plan View, providing an added layer of visual validation and context.

Announcement

Micromine’s product suite is about to get even stronger. Next year, we plan to release our brand-new underground metals scheduling solution, Micromine Advance. Our vision is to deliver a powerful underground scheduling solution that includes all equipment, processes, interactions and dependencies in a detailed, repeatable framework to ensure the mine plan can be executed on schedule.

Stay tuned!

Micromine continues to invest heavily in R&D to help you solve the challenges you face today and tomorrow. Want more information about the Micromine 2023 release?
