What's included

• Overview Report on Mining Software Comparison

  A comprehensive report that highlights the core features, advantages, and limitations of each mining software—GEOVIA Surpac, Micromine, Minescape, and Datamine Studio OP. The report will offer a detailed comparison, helping clients understand which software best fits their needs based on project size, focus area, and operational requirements. This deliverable will also include an assessment of the software's strengths, such as Surpac’s ability to model and design with precision, Micromine’s versatility across the exploration to production phases, Minescape's optimised mine design and cost-saving capabilities, and Datamine Studio OP’s proficiency in geospatial data integration and mine optimisation.

• Case Studies of Software Application in Mining Projects

  This deliverable includes real-world case studies showcasing how each of the four software solutions has been applied in mining operations. The case studies will illustrate the software’s specific functionalities and demonstrate its effectiveness in various mining scenarios—ranging from exploration and reserve estimation to open-pit design and mine optimisation. These case studies will be supported by quantitative data, such as production improvements, cost savings, and operational efficiencies.

• Software Suitability Matrix

  A visual matrix designed to assist the client in determining the most suitable software for their particular mining project. The matrix will cross-reference project requirements (such as reserve management, geological modelling, mine design, and cost optimisation) with the strengths of each software program. This deliverable will help clients make an informed decision regarding the software that aligns with their specific needs, budget, and project timeline.

• Final Recommendations and Implementation Plan

  A conclusive set of recommendations based on the comparison, tailored to the client’s operational needs. This deliverable will include strategic guidance on how to integrate the selected software into the client’s existing systems, with practical steps for implementation. It will also include advice on how to maximise the software’s potential for mine planning, optimise resource management, and improve project outcomes.
