Maptek Case Studies

An open cut mine in Queensland maximised coal recovery through accurate data interpretation
and structural modelling using measurement-while-drilling data.

A customised Maptek Vulcan underground face mapping solution helps acquire critical
geological information for production modelling.

An underground metals mine in Mexico improved estimation of mineral resources through implementation of Maptek Vulcan workflow tools.

For a New Zealand consulting firm, the Maptek Geology Challenge was a chance to trial new software that could ultimately improve outcomes for clients.

A coal mine in Queensland uses dynamic dashboards to display the latest drill and blast information to better inform planning, designs and scheduling.

Digitalisation has changed the way drill and blast is perceived at one of Africa’s largest coal mines, leading to better recovery and improved safety.

Follow the daily workflow of a typical drill and blast crew as they use BlastLogic software to manage and track their blasting operation. Integrating all tasks and processes, and visualising these in 3D, provides the platform for optimising blast performance.

Proper tracking and handling of explosives is crucial to mine safety and efficiency, and going digital is key to ensuring operational improvement.

Laser scanner and UAV geotechnical data is instrumental in identifying potential risk and managing visitor safety in limestone cave formations in Victoria, eastern Australia.

Maptek solutions are embedded at Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia, supporting daily, monthly and annual survey data for a wide range of mining applications.

Modern survey technology has been applied to assess the safety of derelict railway tunnels and collect data for rehabilitation planning.

Environmental, social and governance considerations drive mine planning for a small scale miner in the historical goldfields of eastern Australia.

Powerful mine design and scheduling solutions provide a reliable, repeatable workflow to plan the where and how of mining a gold project in the Pilbara region.

Optimised scheduling combines with full life cycle analysis to quantify and reduce the environmental impacts of planned mines and monitor those in production.

Outside of the box thinking has helped provide a solution to an open pit heap leach operation scheduling challenge involving the reuse of leaching pads on a set footprint.

Maptek Evolution Strategy and Origin were used to produce complex financial models for the Havilah Resources open cut copper-gold operation in northern South Australia.

Maptek mine measurement systems are providing invaluable insight into the structural safety
of a mine and in guiding planning around repurposing the site

A monitoring technique using Maptek Sentry safely controls the shape of a secondary leach
pad to avoid landslides at a copper mine in South America.

Letšeng Diamond Mine uses Maptek technology for volumetric survey, geological and geotechnical data analysis, and tactical and strategic slope deformation monitoring.

Continuous monitoring using Sentry provided effective risk management during equipment maintenance at an Australian mineral sand operation.

Maptek can help deliver a better understanding of production performance across load and haul, stockpiling and plant processes.

A new Maptek solution helps schedule and control the stage cycle of stockpiles to better manage space, grade and inventory to deliver product on time every time.

Consistently delivering a correct blend, and keeping track of inventory and quality at all stages of production are universal challenges at mine sites.
