Dave Osborn, our Managing Director of Africa, recently sat down with Modern Mining Magazine to discuss the ongoing development of global mining and the challenges faced with exploration. Below are excerpts from the article:
With many companies running exploration or expansion projects around the globe, it is becoming increasingly important that they have the ability to manage the data that comprises their portfolios. This means having software systems in place that allow data to be centralized, shared and secured. With limited exploration funds, it is also critical that mining and exploration companies are able to quickly determine whether to cease or continue drilling, or proceed with development of the property…
…Data centralization of project data ensures that the information is protected and secure from data loss, misuse and overwrite with the utilisation of backup and rights managed access that governs who can access it and how. This type of system also includes audit trails, helping to instil confidence in meeting the requirements of reporting regulations such as SAMREC, JORC, VALMIN, and NI 43-101.
An additional benefit of centralised data is to make it available to senior geologists who can work with it to build models, analyse it, and review past projects for new opportunities. In cases where the exploration is being done at operating mines looking to expand, geologists and engineers can work with the data from a central location without ever having to visit the site.
