Datamine has also formed a global partnership with Aereo, a leader in AIpowered aerial intelligence, with the companies set to introduce an integrated, AI-enabled solution that aligns survey, planning and operations workflows. In the process, this will enhance precision, safety and sustainability across the mining value chain, Datamine says.
The 2025 launches of Studio Geo and Studio NPVS + represent the company’ s commitment to help clients improve business outcomes, Datamine says.
Studio Geo, released in April 2025, is Datamine’ s premier geological modelling platform, designed to transform the way mining professionals interpret and use geological data. Built on more than 40 years of mining expertise, Studio Geo enhances collaboration, accuracy and efficiency across every stage of the mining lifecycle, the company says.
According to Anthony Cook, VP of Geology, the solution“ leverages our industry-leading Studio toolkit, alongside our automation language, to deliver a modelling solution that can handle both the intensity and complexity of the mining environment”. The workflow is fully flexible and allows for seamless integration with existing data sources, he added.
Complementing this, the release of Datamine’ s next-generation mine planning software, Studio NPVS +, introduced the market’ s most advanced strategic planning capabilities. Designed to maximise NPV and streamline complex scheduling processes, the solution delivers faster, more accurate scenarios and optimised mine plans, according to Datamine.
Joe Kraft, Datamine VP of Planning, said:“ Studio NPVS + is an evolution of our established software Studio NPVS and doesn’ t just help you plan better – it helps you unlock the true value of your deposit with unmatched speed and strategic insight.”
