An underground metals mine in Mexico improved estimation of mineral resources through implementation of Maptek Vulcan workflow tools.
From challenge comes opportunity
For a New Zealand consulting firm, the Maptek Geology Challenge was a chance to trial new software that could ultimately improve outcomes for clients.
Transforming geology processes
The strong relationship between Aeris Resources and Maptek has been key to a successful software rollout, establishing new geology workflows and procedures.
Maximising limestone extraction
Taking advantage of consulting services has helped a South African limestone operation produce a comprehensive reserves report in a timely manner.
Considering mining impacts
Environmental, social and governance considerations drive mine planning for a small scale miner in the historical goldfields of eastern Australia.
Shandong Gold leads the way
Sanshandao Gold Mine uses Maptek Vulcan to optimize modelling and mine planning at complex underground operation in Shandong province.
Scripting for efficient workflows
Scripting in Vulcan helps turn the sheer volume of mining information into usable data, and allows more time for assessment and analysis.
Measuring plan conformance
Maptek has tailored an automated approach to measuring mine compliance that allows engineers more time to analyse results and make timely decisions.
Digital mapping drives efficiency
Transforming a paper-based process into a digital workflow has reduced the time taken to complete underground mapping by two-thirds.
One-model solution for coal products
Thiess strives to better design and deliver solutions that unlock potential and create pathways to greater performance.
Short term planning at Quebrada Blanca
Implicit Modelling tools were used to create a valid geological model for short term planning at Quebrada Blanca Mine in Chile.
Innovative ore control
A new ore control system has been implemented at an open pit gold mine in Peru, combining Vulcan with other processes to streamline analysis.
Improved ore grading accuracy with Vulcan
Ore grading at Cleveland Cliffs increased the consistency of the crude ore blend and in turn ensured predictable pellet quality. Since introducing Vulcan, 90% of crude ore has met quality targets.
Quality-based resource estimation
Maptek Vulcan is being used for resource and reserve estimation using quality indicators, for a marble quarry in northeastern Greece.
Maptek Roy Hill smart mining partnership
Maptek and Australian iron ore producer Roy Hill are collaborating on deep learning, AI and immersive technologies to accelerate orebody knowledge and inform upstream planning.
