In our pursuit of sustainable development, it is crucial to strike a delicate balance between economic growth, social well-being, and environmental conservation. Block modelling and estimation are powerful tools that can aid in achieving this balance. By employing these techniques, we can analyse and evaluate the impact of various factors on sustainability and make informed[...]

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become a critical tool in modern planning and management. GIS is a computer-based system that captures, stores, analyses, and displays data related to geographic locations. GIS data visualisation has made it easier to interpret data and make informed decisions in various fields, including urban planning, natural resource management, transportation, and[...]

Collaborative mine planning is an approach to mine planning that involves multiple stakeholders working together to develop a comprehensive plan for mineral extraction. This collaborative approach offers a range of benefits for mining companies, including improved efficiency, increased accuracy, and enhanced communication. In this blog post, we explore the advantages of collaborative mine planning in[...]

The JORC Code (Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code) is a set of guidelines that define minimum standards for public reporting of exploration results, mineral resources, and ore reserves in the mining industry. The Code is widely recognised as the global standard for reporting mineral resources and reserves and is used by mining companies, investors, and[...]

In the mining industry, the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Code sets out the minimum standards, recommendations, and guidelines for public reporting of exploration results, mineral resources, and ore reserves. The Code provides a framework for transparent and consistent reporting, which is essential for investors, analysts, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions. In this[...]

The mining industry is rapidly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to improve various aspects of their operations, including pit structural mapping. With the increasing demand for minerals and the depletion of easily accessible deposits, it is more important than ever to improve the efficiency, safety, and accuracy of mining operations. In[...]

Pit structural mapping is an essential task in mining operations as it provides insights into the geological features of the pit, which is crucial in the optimisation of mining processes. However, traditional pit mapping techniques can be time-consuming and costly, and may not provide accurate and comprehensive information. In recent years, the integration of AI[...]

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that involves the development of algorithms that can learn and make predictions based on data. In the mining industry, machine learning is increasingly being used to analyse mineral deposit data and identify patterns that can be used to optimise mining operations. Here are some ways in which[...]
