Vela’s Datamine keeps track of mineral tenements with LandTrack Systems buy

Vela Industries Group’s Datamine has acquired Australia-based mining compliance training and software company, LandTrack Systems, in a deal that could see LandTrack’s tenement management solution reach expand.

LandTrack Systems’ asset management system focuses on protecting, managing and tracking mineral title compliance, agreements and environmental activities worldwide.

Vela Industries Group’s Exploration General Manager, John Shippick, said: “We’re really excited to have this fantastic group of products and people under the Datamine umbrella. Any error can be costly, disruptive and stressful and, as LandTrack Systems delivers specialised tenement management software assisting with any aspect of your tenement management, it was almost too fitting to have them join us.

“We look forward to working closely with LandTrack Systems to enable the delivery and support of LandTrack products – taking their reach beyond Australia and around the globe.”

LandTrack Systems General Manager, Rachel Whiteman, said the acquisition is a positive movement for the company and its clients, as opening its game-changing solutions to a wider audience means more can benefit from LandTrack Systems products.

“Already supporting more than 140 Australian mining companies – including BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Northern Star, Newcrest and Mineral Resources – this collaboration will enhance our abilities enabling us to show the world the difference we can make to the mining tenure process,” she said.

Datamine adds to mining project management software offering with Scenario acquisition

Datamine, via Vela Industries Group, has acquired Scenario, a leader in project delivery and project controls software for various industries, including mining, with its Enterprise SaaS platform.

Scenario, according to Datamine, is used on large and complex projects in the resource, infrastructure, construction, power and property development industries across Australia, Asia and the Middle East.

John Bailey, COO of Vela Industries Group, said: “The Scenario acquisition is a complementary addition to Datamine’s software portfolio. With increasing cost pressure on owners and contractors to deliver large-scale mining projects on time and schedule, Scenario will enable our customers to manage, collaborate and report progress across a portfolio of mining projects in real time.”

Sarah Smith, CEO of Scenario, added: “We are excited and proud to be joining Vela Industries Group and working alongside other leading software organisations operating within our client industries. This acquisition is an important next step in our continued journey of growth, further expanding our international presence through Vela’s network.”
