FAQs
A Laboratory Information Management System, or LIMS, helps mining laboratories control each sample, result, QA/QC step and approval.
It gives teams a traceable sample-to-report workflow, reducing manual handling and supporting faster turnaround, reliable results, compliance and clearer communication with exploration, grade control and production teams.
Datamine connects laboratory workflows from sample registration to approved reporting and downstream data sharing.
Datamine LIMS supports sample tracking, instrument integration, QA/QC, audit trails, reporting, external system integration and mobile access for sample tracking. This helps laboratories improve control over results, compliance, workload and operational reporting.
Datamine LIMS supports sample tracking by recording sample details from registration through preparation, analysis, reporting and storage.
Teams can use barcodes or QR code labels, track sample status, monitor each step and keep a clear chain-of-custody. This helps reduce lost information and improves confidence in reported results.
Datamine reduces manual entry by connecting laboratory workflows with instruments, balances and external systems.
Results can be captured directly from connected equipment and moved into controlled data processing workflows. This reduces re-entry, limits transcription errors and gives reviewers cleaner data for validation, approval and reporting.
Datamine connects with laboratory instruments and balances so measurement data can be captured in the LIMS workflow.
This helps teams verify results faster, reduce manual transfer, schedule calibrations and maintenance, and keep instrument data linked to the right sample, job and approval record.
Datamine improves QA/QC by helping laboratories manage standards/CRMS, blanks, duplicates, repeats, approvals and QC alerts.
Teams can review QC performance, detect failures earlier and keep QA/QC activities stored in one database. This supports more consistent procedures and more defensible laboratory results.
Datamine supports ISO 17025-style traceability through controlled workflows, audit trails and stored QA/QC records.
Teams can track who changed data, when changes were made and how results moved from sample registration to approval. This helps simplify audits and strengthens accountability across laboratory processes.
Datamine helps laboratory managers monitor sample status, backlog, priorities and workflow progress.
Teams can coordinate preparation, analysis and review steps, then prioritise urgent work based on operational needs. This improves visibility of bottlenecks and helps laboratories communicate clearer turnaround expectations to internal or external customers.
Yes. Datamine supports laboratories managing large volumes of critical sample data through structured data capture, storage, workflow coordination and authorised retrieval.
Teams can manage registration, preparation, analysis, QA/QC and reporting in a controlled environment, while maintaining visibility across workload, data quality, approvals and reporting status.
Datamine connects validated laboratory results with downstream systems such as Fusion, Production Accounting, MineMarket, MineScape, ERP, PIMS and geological databases.
This helps exploration, grade control, production and commercial teams work from approved results, reducing re-entry and improving traceability from sample collection to modelling, reconciliation and reporting.
