GEOVIA has been identified as the leading mining software provider for Asia-Pacific and African mines, according to a recent survey by Timetric’s Mining Intelligence Center.
The survey collated responses from individual mining operations across both regions, highlighting the most popular mining software platforms for five main mining processes:
1. Geological Mapping & Block Modeling
2. Surveying
3. Drill & Blast
4. Mine Scheduling
5. Mine Planning
In Asia-Pacific, over 100 mine managers and other senior decision-makers were surveyed, with GEOVIA SurpacTMand GEOVIA MinexTM emerging as the two most popular mining software platforms. Surpac dominated nominations in each of the above five categories and Minex featured regularly as one of the top three for each category.
Surpac was used by 37% of mines for geological mapping and block modeling and 30% for mine planning, while Minex was used by 21% of mines for geological mapping and block modeling and 15% of mines for mine scheduling.
In Africa, over 110 mine managers and senior decision-makers working on operating mines were surveyed, with Surpac identified yet again as the most popular software package for mine planning (43%) and geological mapping and block modeling (38%). 38% of mines preferred Surpac for surveying and 34% used it for drill and blasting needs.
