K2fly is to keep running the reserve and resource numbers for AngloGold Ashanti after the Johannesburg-based gold miner signed up for another three years of the RCubed Resource Governance solution.

AGA, the third largest gold mining company in the world measured by production, was pivotal in the development of RCubed, according to K2Fly, with the gold miner’s New York listing being the inspiration behind the product.

Nic Pollock, K2fly Chief Commercial Officer, said: “AngloGold Ashanti was instrumental in the creation of the RCubed solution and is one of the few global mining companies that delivers a dedicated mineral resources and ore reserves report. The report is created entirely from within the RCubed Resource Governance solution, from data collection through to publishing ensuring full resource governance, security and the integrity of the data.”

RCubed software, K2fly says, generates resource and reserve reports that support reporting codes such as JORC, NI-43-101 and SAMREC across the major stock exchanges – including NYSE, LSE, TSX, ASX and JSE. It assists mining and resource companies in complying with their regulatory reporting obligations, according to the company.

The gold sector is performing extremely well for K2fly and RCubed sales with four of the top 10 global gold mining companies now using or implementing RCubed to report their resources and ore reserves, the company said. Only last week, the company signed up Newmont as a new RCubed customer.

K2fly’s total contract value for its own software solutions (RCubed and Infoscope) has risen by a further 41% in the March quarter to more than A$4.7 million as the contract terms extend, the company said. “This trend is expected to continue with further multi-year contractual negotiations in the pipeline.”

K2fly Limited says it has been awarded a contract from Newmont to commence work on implementation of the RCubed Resource Governance solution for its global operations.

This will see the solution capture and prepare resources and reserves data to report from all 12 operating mines as well as joint ventures and projects across global operations to the NYSE, TSX and investors, according to K2fly.

The initial contract term is three years, which amounts to a total contract value in excess of A$900,000 ($580,908), the company said.

Nic Pollock, K2fly Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We are so proud to have Newmont as a customer as clearly they are the biggest gold miner in the world. However, we also share the same values on social and corporate responsibility.

“Our gold resource reporting template is increasingly becoming the industry standard, and we can now proudly lay claim to our RCubed Resource Governance solution being used by four of the top 10 gold miners globally: Newmont, Anglo Gold Ashanti, Newcrest and Gold Fields.”

RCubed software, K2fly says, generates resource and reserve reports that support reporting codes such as JORC, NI-43-101 and SAMREC across the major stock exchanges – including NYSE, LSE, TSX, ASX and JSE. It assists mining and resource companies in complying with their regulatory reporting obligations, according to the company.

Reporting on the ASX-listed company’s attendance at the recent PDAC 2020 conference in Toronto, Canada, meanwhile, K2fly said its presence at the event generated interest from a number of entities in the resources sector and proposal requests from a further three “leading gold mining companies”.

K2fly says Westgold Resources has agreed to a new long-term contract to use its existing Infoscope software and partner with K2fly to develop additional enhancements to the software with a view to integrating its tenement and title’s management applications.

Additional overlays of the software include royalties, contracts, permits, licensing, and environmental and stakeholder management to provide a consolidated management tool.

InfoScope provides a single, spatially integrated solution to manage information relating to land access and compliance across multiple industries, according to K2fly. It delivers effective stakeholder, tenement, cultural heritage, native title and environmental management along with a full life-cycle ground disturbance process.

Westgold operates three gold production hubs in the Murchison Region of Western Australia, according to K2fly.

“Known as one of the largest regional consolidations within the gold sector, the group manages over 350 titles and a complex web of resources, road and infrastructure networks, licences, permits, service contracts and stakeholder engagements,” the company added.

Westgold’s Executive Chairman, Peter Cook, said: “We have long been looking for a land management system that expands beyond the traditional mining title area and enables us to integrate the multitude of layers associated and attached to our titles to an interactive and linked solution. Our industry needs a solution that enables us to operate faster and more efficiently in these areas.”

Nic Pollock, K2fly Chief Commercial Officer, said Westgold was “more than a customer”.

“They are actively partnering with K2fly and contributing to the further development of our land management solutions in a very meaningful way, assisting us to improve and expand our market offering.”

K2fly’s RCubed hits new heights with Newcrest Mining SaaS agreement

K2fly says it has signed an agreement with Newcrest Mining to implement its RCubed resource governance software as a service (SaaS) solution.

The agreement covers the rollout of the RCubed software solution across the reporting lines of Newcrest for its resources and reserves in its global gold operations across seven sites in Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

The deal follows closely on the heels of K2fly signing a similar SaaS pact with Glencore Canada. It is also less than six months since K2fly acquired the RCubed software through the acquisition of Prodmark Pty Ltd.

RCubed software generates resource and reserve reports that support reporting codes such as JORC, NI-43-101 and SAMREC across the major stock exchanges – including NYSE, LSE, TSX, ASX and JSE. It assists mining and resource companies in complying with their regulatory reporting obligations.

This is a three-year SaaS based software contract and, with implementation costs, is worth more than A$150,000 ($100,145) in the first year, according to K2fly. Implementation is to commence immediately, and there will be recurring revenues on an annual basis. The initial total contract value is over A$330,000, K2fly said.

As with all RCubed implementations, each operation and all relevant data is captured at a base level and involves comprehensive governance data capture and reporting, the company said.

Nic Pollock, K2fly Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Newcrest is the largest gold producer listed on the ASX and a top 10 global producer and adds to the growing momentum we are seeing within the mining industry and its acceptance of RCubed as a resource governance reporting solution.”
