The Aegis 2025.3 release delivers enhanced reporting, clearer visualisation, more flexible data exchange, and targeted usability improvements to support more efficient blast design.
Reporting capabilities have been expanded with a new table that displays charge weight by explosive and charge diameter, giving you deeper insight into charging performance. You can now also apply custom formula variables and functions the Ring (Holes) Table and Ring Summary Tables in reports, including support for full dump convention calculations. In addition, timing data can be viewed directly in the 3D environment, making it easier to interpret and validate designs in spatial context.
Export workflows are now more precise, allowing you to select individual holes and rings when exporting to file and reducing downstream rework. Support for DMX file import and export improves compatibility with other Datamine applications, while optimised block model import—through a new dictionary-based internal file structure—improves performance when working with large datasets.
Several interface and design refinements further improve usability. A new exit button on the landing form provides a quicker way to close the application, documentation links now point directly to the Datamine documentation site, and wall line alignment has been corrected for fixed pivots to ensure more accurate drilling configurations.
This release also includes a broad set of fixes that improve stability and reliability, resolving a range of specific issues across ring creation and editing, pivoting behaviour, reporting, and data export.
About Aegis
Aegis, comprising Aegis Designer and Aegis Analyzer, is created by mining engineers to design blasts for underground mines, including slot design and placement, charging, priming, timing, and more. With its extensive range of editing tools, Aegis Designer enables the creation of drill and blast patterns for an entire stope in seconds, allowing engineers to easily explore alternative designs. By swiftly generating customisable reports and IREDES exports, it facilitates the rapid transition of actionable designs into production. Aegis Analyzer is the most advanced underground blast analysis program globally and enables engineers to observe how changes to a pattern impact fragmentation, tonnage, cavity, costs, and profit. It is used to optimise ring patterns to maximise recovery, productivity, and profitability.
