Datamine and Mine Vision Systems out to boost data collection, analysis and visualisation

Posted on 27 Feb 2025

Datamine and Mine Vision Systems (MVS) are to introduce what they say is a streamlined analysis solution to deliver the precise, actionable insights required to optimise production operations in underground mining at the annual  Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada event in Toronto, next week.

The partnership will provide mining professionals with unparalleled capabilities in data collection, analysis and visualisation, they say.

John Bailey, CEO at Datamine, said: “The partnership between Datamine’s Studio Mapper and MVS’s FaceCapture sets a new industry standard for geological data capture. By combining two cutting-edge technologies, we deliver an innovative, best-in-class solution that exceeds the sum of its parts. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to equipping geologists with the most advanced solutions available – there’s nothing like it on the market today.”

Studio Mapper collects and stores field data in a managed database, encouraging controlled data capture, storage, sharing and processing; FaceCapture allows geologists to rapidly capture 3D face mapping data from a safe position.

The integration of solutions from Datamine and MVS will enable mining professionals to capture, process and analyse underground data with unprecedented speed and accuracy, the companies claim. This solution will significantly improve geological modelling, mine planning and operational efficiency, helping companies achieve greater sustainability and cost-effectiveness in their underground mining operations.

Mike Smocer, CEO of Mine Vision Systems, added: “We believe the most successful transformational technology companies strive to deliver solutions with minimal disruption to essential workflows. Our partnership with Datamine furthers our mission to deliver precise insights to essential decision makers at the moment of greatest impact and in a manner that fits seamlessly into existing workflows.”

PDAC attendees will have the opportunity to see firsthand how this collaboration enhances mapping, modelling and analysis precision in underground mining operations.
