A range of innovative geoscience software solutions designed to enable critical, strategic decisions across the lifecycle of mining operations, aims to foster digital transformation in the mining industry.

Seequent says its software portfolio provides mining operations with new ways to solve increasingly complex problems, manage risk, and uncover valuable insights from data, quicker.

The company says its mining software portfolio is being expanded across every stage of the mining lifecycle, including exploration and evaluation, to improve workflow and data capabilities and help the mining industry bring clarity to the decision-making process on resources and capital investment.

Known for its Leapfrog three-dimensional geological modelling software, newer solutions include Imago for high-quality core sample imagery and drill data collection tool MX Deposit.

Seequent has expanded its capabilities across geology, geostatistics, geophysics, data management and geotechnical areas and cloud capabilities. The most recent additions to its software portfolio include Imago, MX Deposit, AGS Workbench, PLAXIS and OpenGround.

The company also supports institutions across Africa through its academic program, providing software free of charge or at low cost.

Seequent explains that it has created a seamless workflow for exploration to uncover subsurface insights to enable critical, strategic decisions at every project stage, including simplifying drilling data collection with MX Deposit, capturing high-quality core imagery with Imago, integrating with geological modelling tool Leapfrog Geo, and ensuring the entire process can be shared and collaborated across teams with Seequent Central.

The company highlights its longstanding relationship as an innovation partner in the African mining industry, helping customers tackle resource and sustainability challenges and stay competitive. Its growing presence in Africa includes local teams in South Africa, Mali, Ivory Coast and Ghana, supported by a global team. Seequent works with customers in diverse areas, from mining to civil infrastructure to water security.

It notes that increasing demand for critical minerals in support of green energy transitions is creating new opportunities for resources in Africa.
