Micromine 2024.5: Integrated Mining Software Suite

Micromine 2024.5 (24.5) is a major release of the integrated mining software platform, encompassing updates across the entire suite with a focus on AI-powered geology tools, cloud collaboration, and enhanced workflow automation.

Core Updates Across the Suite

Exploration & Geology (Micromine Origin)

• Origin Copilot: Cloud-based AI companion that automates geological and resource modelling using machine learning, providing autonomous model generation and validation of conventional estimation methods.

• Auto Section Creator: Automates placement and orientation of section lines for any drillhole configuration.

• Surface Map Modeller: Transforms surface mapping data into detailed 3D geological models.

• Grade Estimator: Runs multiple Kriging and Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) estimates across elements, domains, and search passes.

Data Management (Micromine Geobank & Nexus)

• Geobank Panorama: AI and cloud-powered automation for creating seamless down-hole images from drill core imagery.

• Sample Planner: Automates sample data entry for field teams based on pre-determined sampling procedures, ensuring QAQC and reducing logging time.

• Nexus Shared Formsets: Cloud-native collaboration enabling consistent form settings across teams and projects.

Planning & Scheduling

• Beyond: Dynamic pit design toolset with interactive real-time response; enhanced strategic scheduling with new pit optimisation and materials management capabilities.

• Alastri: Battery-electric haulage modelling for decarbonisation strategies; upgraded charger utilisation modelling.
