Mining software leader MICROMINE has reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic by offering the mining community free access during April to its general mining package, Micromine 2020.

The exploration and mining solution has proven valuable for mining projects for more than three decades, with the latest version, Micromine 2020, including a new stope optimisation tool among other additions.

MICROMINE said: “The mining industry is a major driver of economic growth, so it is imperative that business continues as usual, where possible. MICROMINE is closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 and believes it’s important that their customers know MICROMINE stands behind them during this downtime.”

Micromine’s bundle offering is through a secure online platform issuing node-locked licences to an inbox within 24-48 hours – ready to use, according to the company. Micromine 2020 offers integrated tools for modelling, estimation, design, optimisation and scheduling.

In addition to offering the mining community free access to Micromine 2020, the company is also offering all support and training virtually where face to face events cannot take place.

“The wellbeing of our customers, business partners and employees is our highest priority at MICROMINE, and we are dedicated to tailoring our service to best meet the needs of the industry and this offer is no exception.”
