InSite 4.4 offers further advances for mine operations managers, engineers and geologists to quickly and effectively reconcile large quantities of production data. Enhancements to Shift Management, Central Monitoring and the new Inspect and Correct feature, focus on helping users overcome the challenge of identifying variances and improving the reliability and confidence in their data between planned and actual production.

GEMS provides collaborative geology and mine planning capabilities that support cross-functional teams involved in exploration, modelling, mine design, long-term planning, and production scheduling. With more mines moving underground, GEMS 6.6 introduces a new ramp design tool and other enhancements for underground mine planners.

Highlighting the summit theme of providing effective strategies and tools to enhance accuracy and operational efficiency, this session will evaluate how commodity prices and demand are under pressure and the implications of unpredictability.

What Mining Can Learn from Technologies Proven in Other Industries

GEOVIA, formerly known as Gemcom Software prior to its acquisition in 2012 by Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, announced today the release of GEOVIA Surpac™ 6.5. Alongside new features and user requested enhancements, Surpac 6.5 integrates with two new products: DraftSight Pro Pack, a full featured 2D CAD tool for expanded plotting capabilities, and GEOVIA Hub™ 1.7 for a brand new data sharing and collaboration experience.

The fifth Mining Magazine Industry Leaders’ Roundtable meeting will be held on September 25th in conjunction with the MINExpo International event. The theme for this year’s roundtable is “the future of mining.”

Applying Short Interval Control (SIC) in underground mining operations stems from the need for operations to be more efficient with shift time and the use of assets. Chelopech Mine in Bulgaria is aiming to double production and achieve a 44 percent improvement in unit cost, a task that requires processes and systems to be redefined and shift time to be better managed.
