Micromine Momentum 2026: Integrated Mining Software Suite

Micromine Momentum 2026 is a major annual release of Micromine's integrated software platform for the mining lifecycle, spanning exploration, geology, design, planning, scheduling, and production control . This release delivers significant upgrades across the entire suite, now unified through the Micromine Nexus cloud platform .

Key New Features in Momentum 2026

Micromine Nexus – Connected Cloud Platform

• Unified Collaboration Hub: Micromine Nexus now connects Geobank, Origin, Beyond, Alastri, Spry, and Advance into one integrated ecosystem, enabling seamless data flow between geology, planning, and operations .

• Geology Workflow Integration: Geobank, Geobank for Field Teams, and Origin now operate as a connected solution, eliminating silos and cutting rework .

• Cloud-Native Geobank: Available as a fully cloud-native deployment, removing IT infrastructure burdens .

• Unified Licensing: Licensing for Alastri and Spry brought into Nexus for consistent access management .

Micromine Origin – Geology & Resource Estimation

• Grade Copilot (AI Tool): The industry-leading AI-powered modelling tool is now included in all geology and resource estimation subscriptions, generating plausible geological models in minutes .

• Conditional Simulation: Introduces geostatistical simulation methods (Turning Bands, Sequential Gaussian Simulation) to generate multiple realizations of a deposit, moving beyond single deterministic models for more defensible resource classification .

• Revamped Drillhole Log Setup: More interactive interface aligned with the Plot Editor experience; click any drillhole in 3D viewer to instantly see log data .

• Vizex Interface Enhancements: Define and switch between multiple display fields directly in Display Properties; auto-load options for faster drillhole visualisation .

• Search Neighbourhood Analysis Tool: Visual analysis and interrogation of Grade Estimator runs for transparent model validation .

Micromine Beyond – Pit Design & Planning

• Comparison & Evaluation Tool: Rank multiple pit designs against the optimal shell to identify value-maximising options .

• Expanded Constraints: New Expand Constraint tool allows expansion of selected constraints by specified width; ensure exclusion zones and environmental boundaries are respected .

Micromine Alastri – Mine Planning & Analysis

• Haulage Calibration: Cycle times reflect real-world fleet behavior rather than theoretical results .

• Improved Scenario Reporting: Compare options side-by-side, see trade-offs instantly, and communicate schedules with greater confidence .

Micromine Spry – Scheduling & Haulage

• Customizable Workflows: Build structured, site-specific workflows that automate repetitive tasks and reduce errors; new starters get productive faster .

• Scriptable Design Actions: Incorporate design tools directly into scripting interface, enabling dynamic automation and embedding designs in site-specific processes .

• Nexus Workspaces Integration: Link Spry projects to Nexus workspaces; synchronise shared data (scripts, layers, triangulations, block models) with object lock functionality to prevent editing conflicts .

Micromine Advance – Underground Mine Planning

• Integrated Stope Optimizer: Built-in optimizer with 50× faster run times (minutes instead of hours), sub-shape generation identifies additional stopes, exclusion zones prevent mining in mined areas .

• Pseudoflow Algorithm: Evaluates economics across stopes, infrastructure, and development network to identify genuinely profitable areas for a given mining sequence .

• Automated Decline Design Toolset: Generates complete decline layouts from intuitive setup, removing need for manual CAD string drawing; produces multiple design options for quick iteration .

• Room and Pillar Design Toolset: Dedicated 3D design tool generating thousands of properly attributed rooms and pillars with automatic attributes (row, column, cut), live previews, and integrated reporting .

• Nexus Workspaces Integration: Link Advance projects to Nexus workspaces; synchronise objects with clear sync status and version control .
