Designed to address the industry's challenges through all stages of the exploration lifecycle, from regional due diligence, through to defining a resource.

Built with intuitive interfaces and targeted features, our exploration software maximises usability and efficiency for exploration staff, helping to optimise exploration success.

Our portfolio is the one-stop shop for all mission- critical processes related to mining geology - from mapping, data analysis, data validation, geological modeling, resource estimation, risk assessment with conditional simulation, and ore control.

We offer a broad range of products that covers all the challenges of open pit and underground mining operations.

Designed for mining people, by mining people. Plan the most economically resilient and optimal mine, by leveraging best-in-class optimisation, design, and scheduling software. Equally capable for new or existing operations, metals, minerals, or coal.

Our domain-centric solutions consistently deliver accuracy and efficiency in stratigraphic, open pit, or underground settings.

The focus of the production portfolio is to maximise the return from your mineral assets.

The production suite of tools specifically aids operations by using sophisticated reconciliation methodologies to continuously improve the reliability of reserve and production estimates; using metal balancing algorithms to account for metal as it moves from mine to customer; continuously improving the performance of people and production assets through KPI analysis.

Many operational and production decisions are based on data that is generated by laboratories, either in-house or commercial. To ensure the timely and reliable delivery of this data, we have Laboratory Information Management Systems, (LIMS), which are used in both on-site mining labs and third-party commercial labs that support the industry.

LIMS automates processes to deliver quality dependable sample data and test results, reliably and efficiently.

At Datamine we take a holistic approach to challenges by breaking down information silos, aggregating and integrating your sustainability data, to reliably and accurately measure your company's sustainability performance and measure your organisation's environmental impact.

By embedding your company’s business processes into the software itself, our technology connects people, data, information, and processes across the functional departments within your company.
