Mining

Data management solutions for large global mining projects

Mining is subject to a high level of compliance monitoring and reporting because safety is so important to the overall operation.  Mines generate huge volumes of Geochemical data that need to be organized, monitored and analyzed.  Specific issues we help mines deal with include:

  • the impact over time that water has on site stability as a mine is worked
  • what happens to tailings as they contact water on site
  • is a contaminant that needs to be dealt with being transported by water on site

Mines need to share data with team members across their entire organization.  The more sites that an organization has, the larger a return that our tools generate.  Our tools help distributed teams get the right information in the right format from the right data source to the right person.  Mines need to drive efficiencies.  We help them do that.

Common issues we help Mining with:
