MINING SOFTWARE flexible, affordable, and easy to use geostatistics module. Following a practical and intuitive series of steps, users can generate variograms and block models with various interpolation models such as circular, exponential, Gaussian or spherical.”
Promine Mine Planning and Scheduling is another noteworthy advancement of the past year.“ To complement our mine design capabilities, we released a very simple, yet very powerful, short and medium term planning module. With the advantage of Promine’ s AutoCAD integration, users can keep operations running smoothly by planning a homogenous output. Having reports and graphs at your side while designing can be helpful, but having them automatically update every time you work, drastically simplifies your day to day operations.”
The company adds:“ At Promine, we know that some mine operations rely on more than one solution for their mine planning needs. With this in mind, in 2016 we coordinated with

some of our colleagues across the industry to improve our interface capabilities. The Interface module has been greatly improved not only when importing the generic. dxf and. dwg files, but also when working with other mining software formats. Through these ongoing collaborations, we aim to continue reaching our vision to become the most loved mining application by providing a solution that will make our users’ day to day easier.”
One Promine module that went through a major update in 2016 is the Diamond Drill Hole module. In addition to standard functions such as inserting DDH, annotate, create weighted averages and composite grades for accurate block modelling and resource calculation, Promine has now included channel sampling as part of the standard functions. Furthermore, this module can now import data from a wider range of databases such as SQL, MySQL, Access, and others.
“ Finally, the most significant change may be the automatic batch warning that enables users to leave Promine running overnight, automatically updating layers and drawings. This function has quite literally saved days of waiting for updates to our customers across the world, helping them become more efficient.
