Datamine

Aegis was created by iRing Inc. and acquired by Datamine in January 2023. It comprises two core modules. Aegis Designer enables rapid automated creation of underground drill and blast patterns for entire stopes in seconds, including slot design and placement, charging, priming, and timing. Extensive editing tools allow engineers to explore alternative designs, and it generates customisable reports and IREDES exports for direct transmission to compatible drill rigs.

DataBlast was originally developed by Blast Management International (BMI) in Queensland, Australia. It covers the complete open-pit drill and blast workflow from pattern design through drilling, quality assurance, charging, initiation, and firing. The software features CAD-based design tools for detailed pattern design including multi-seam blasts, firing simulations, contour and charge analysis, vibration modelling, and comprehensive reconciliation reporting.

Datamine Discover is an ArcGIS Pro plugin designed specifically for mineral exploration geology. Built into Esri's industry-standard GIS platform, it provides geoscience-specific tools that exploration geologists need daily: importing and centralising diverse geoscience data types (drillhole, geochemistry, geophysics, mapping), creating cartographic-quality drillhole plans and section templates, and viewing geological data in 3D within a familiar GIS environment.

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.

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.

iSystain is a cloud-based platform designed to support Health, Safety and Environment management, sustainability reporting, compliance and governance, and social investment reporting. Originally developed by Systar, an Australian company founded in 2004, iSystain was acquired by Vela Software in March 2022 and now operates within Datamine's ESG business unit.

MineScape is a mine planning and geological modelling solution specifically designed for coal and stratigraphic (layered/seam-type) deposits. Originally developed by Mincom (later ABB), it was acquired by Datamine and now forms a core part of its portfolio. MineScape provides automated stratigraphic modelling, resource calculation, and mine design tools optimised for both open-cut and underground coal operations.

MineScape

by Datamine

MineScape is a specialized geological modelling and mine planning platform tailored for coal and stratigraphic deposits. Originally developed by Mincom (an Australian mining software company, released as MineScape 1.0 in 1988), it became part of Datamine through a chain of acquisitions (Mincom → CAE → Constellation/Vela/Datamine in 2015). It is actively developed and maintained by Datamine.

Minetrack is a comprehensive electronic dispatch and fleet management system, originally developed by Sodep (acquired by Datamine in 2023) and proven at 40+ mine sites across Latin America. The system enables real-time mine operation management with complete control over the productive fleet using proprietary communication hardware. Each piece of equipment is tracked through its entire production cycle, with intelligent algorithms maximising productivity while reducing operational costs.

MPX is a mine production software solution developed in Australia and deployed across surface and underground mining operations of various commodities. It delivers standardised, shift-by-shift production reporting covering KPIs, equipment utilisation, and material movements. MPX integrates operational data from across the mining value chain and serves as the trusted single source of truth for production performance, integrating with business intelligence applications for executive reporting.

Reconcilor is Datamine's flagship mine reconciliation software, automating the comparison of planned versus actual tonnes, grades, and metal production from resource model through drilling, blasting, hauling, stockpiling, and processing to final product. It highlights discrepancies and helps teams pinpoint dilution, ore loss, and operational inefficiencies that erode value. The platform features automated data import and validation, configurable reconciliation workflows, role-based dashboards, and audit-ready reporting.

SABLE

by Datamine

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.

Scenario provides operational and executive decision-makers with configurable KPI dashboards, data analysis tools, and compliance reporting. It delivers automated reports on demand or by subscription and supports critical-event notifications through SMS and email. As part of Datamine's production intelligence suite, Scenario transforms raw operational data into visual, actionable insights for mine management teams.

Studio Geo is Datamine's newly launched geological modelling product, representing the company's next-generation approach to geological interpretation and 3D model construction. It improves on legacy geological modelling workflows through dynamic modelling paradigms — where model outputs update automatically as inputs change — advanced fault handling, and seamless multi-user collaboration via the MineTrust cloud governance platform.

Studio OP (Open Pit) is Datamine's specialised surface mine design and planning tool, complementing Studio RM by providing dedicated open-pit mine design, scheduling, and reserves estimation capabilities. It sits within the broader Studio software series alongside Studio UG for underground operations.

Studio RM

by Datamine

Studio RM (Resource Modelling) is Datamine's flagship product and one of the most established geological modelling packages in the industry, with a lineage spanning 40+ years. It provides a comprehensive toolkit for geological interpretation (both implicit and explicit 3D modelling), block modelling, geostatistical analysis, grade estimation (including multiple kriging methods), and resource classification compliant with JORC, SAMREC, NI 43-101, S-K 1300, and Guide 7.

Studio RM is Datamine's flagship geological modelling and resource estimation platform. Known for its customisability and versatile feature set, it handles complex geological settings and large datasets. Workflows span grade control through resource estimation, with implicit and explicit modelling techniques, comprehensive block modelling, and advanced grade estimation.

Studio UG (Underground) is Datamine's specialised underground mine design and planning tool, complementing Studio RM with dedicated underground mine design, development scheduling, and stope planning capabilities. It sits within the broader Studio software series alongside Studio OP for surface operations.
