Micromine has announced its 2026 Half-Year Release, featuring updates across its entire portfolio of eight products that, it says, mark a significant step forward in the company’s vision for a connected mining ecosystem.
Since joining Weir, Micromine has accelerated its platform strategy, and this release is the clearest expression of that ambition to date, it says. It also reflects a broader vision across the Weir portfolio, combining Micromine with technologies including MOTION METRICS™ and Fast2Mine – bringing together modelling, estimation, planning, monitoring and fleet management within one connected environment.
At the centre of the release is the continued expansion of Micromine Nexus, the cloud platform that connects teams, data, and workflows across the mining lifecycle. Nexus deepens its integration with Micromine Spry, Advance and Geobank, and consolidates licensing across more of the portfolio. This provides organisations with greater control over access and security, making it easier for mining teams to work from a single, connected environment, Micromine says.
Each product update also delivers meaningful improvements for geology, planning and operations teams. Together, they reflect an ecosystem that is becoming more connected with every release, Micromine claims.
Kristen Walsh, President, Software Solutions at Weir, said: “This release reflects our trajectory since joining Weir – building a connected ecosystem where every part of the mining lifecycle is supported by integrated, intelligent technology.
“As a combined organisation, we have both the ambition and the capability to accelerate that vision. These updates bring more of the Micromine ecosystem into a single, connected environment, giving mining teams the consistency, visibility and control they need to make better decisions, faster.”
Exploration and geology updates in Micromine Geobank help catch data errors before they can even reach models or decisions, according to Micromine. Deeper Nexus integration brings field, database and modelling teams onto a single data source, with object locking and version control to keep it reliable.
Micromine Origin helps geologists make more confident decisions by introducing Conditional Simulation, giving teams a clearer understanding of grade variability and uncertainty before they impact planning and production. The release also brings a range of targeted improvements that streamline everyday geological workflows, the company adds.
Updates in Micromine Beyond consolidate pit optimisation and design into a single database, while CAD improvements reduce manual effort behind tasks and ultimately help minimize design time.
In Micromine Alastri, Animated Scenario Comparison lets engineers evaluate trade-offs visually in real time, helping to assess planning options before committing to a decision. The new Electrical Infrastructure Modeler helps address infrastructure demands of electrified equipment fleets.
In Micromine Spry, Customizable Workflows lets sites define, standardise and automate their own scheduling processes, with Design Actions now integrated directly into those workflows, connecting mine design and scheduling in a single environment, Micromine explains. Nexus integration allows planning teams to link projects to a Nexus workspace and synchronize supported objects giving teams a controlled, reliable way to share and manage data.
Micromine Advance improves underground planning decisions with significantly faster Stope Optimizer run times. The new Automated Decline Design Toolset generates complete decline layout options without manual CAD construction, while Nexus integration extends cloud-connected collaboration to underground planning teams.
In Micromine Pitram, two new real-time visibility capabilities help underground operations respond earlier to emerging issues. Stockpile Alarms provide configurable threshold alerts before ore pass or stockpile conditions become disruptions, while Material Draw Monitoring flags over-draw, under-draw, or off-track stope extraction, while there is still time to act.
Micromine Nexus continues to grow as the platform connecting the Micromine ecosystem. With deeper integrations, consolidated licensing and stronger access controls rolling out across the portfolio, Nexus is becoming the common foundation from which mining teams can manage data, workflows and decisions across the entire lifecycle, Micromine claims.
Walsh concluded: “Behind every workflow, model and schedule are teams making high-stakes decisions under operational pressure. Our priority remains the same: to help those teams move forward with greater speed, alignment and visibility across the entire mining lifecycle, on a platform built to grow with them.”
