SABLE
About SABLE
SABLE (Standardised Approach to Borehole Logging for Exploration and Evaluation) is a specialised geoscientific database management system with a heritage spanning over 40 years, primarily deployed in African mining operations with particular strength in South Africa and in coal mining. SABLE focuses on enforcing data standards for borehole logging, exploration, and evaluation, ensuring adherence to international mineral reporting codes (SAMREC, NI 43-101, JORC) and ICT compliance frameworks including segregation of duties (SoD) and Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requirements.
The platform is highly customisable, allowing implementation of site-specific standard operating procedures through governance rules without compromising geoscientific data integrity. SABLE is trusted by geologists, strata control officers, and samplers for borehole logging data capture and management. It differentiates from Fusion by focusing specifically on borehole logging standards enforcement and geoscientific data governance rather than general-purpose geological database management.

1point
by Flout Software
1point is a cloud-based geological data management system hosted on Microsoft Azure. It serves as a centralised repository for geoscientific data including drillhole collar data, lithology logs, sampling results, downhole geophysics (LAS files), and topographic point clouds. The system is multi-commodity with built-in dictionaries (including CoalLog standard) for data validation, and supports flexible, dynamic table building with unlimited columns and data storage.
Datamine Fusion
by Datamine
Datamine Fusion (current version: Fusion XI) is a purpose-built geological data management system designed for mining and exploration companies that need to centralise, validate, and govern drillhole, sample, and assay data. It supports the full data lifecycle from field collection through to downstream consumption by resource modellers and mine planners. Key features include a distributed database architecture with centralised control, check-in/check-out technology for data integrity, user-defined filters, full security models, and scheduled data transfers for multi-site deployments.
Datamine LIMS
by Datamine
Acquired from AssayNet Inc. in May 2023, Datamine LIMS (branded as 'AssayNet by Datamine') is a client/server LIMS built specifically for minerals and environmental laboratories. It is ASTM Level II compliant and covers end-to-end laboratory workflows from sample reception and preparation through analysis, QC review, and certified result reporting. Features include barcode/QR code integration, QC protocols with Shewhart charts and bias/precision analysis, an extensive instrument data capture library, invoicing, stock management, and full audit trail.
DataShed5
by maxgeo
DataShed5 is a web-based geological data management system built for the mining and exploration industries. Hosted on AWS, it provides centralised storage, validation, import, and management of geoscientific data including drillhole collars, assay results, downhole surveys, pXRF readings, hyperspectral data, and daily drilling reports (PLODs). The system is offered in three access tiers — Administrator, User Plus, and User — with configurable permissions and granular access controls.
