In the mining industry, efficiency isn’t just a goal, it’s a necessity. One of the most critical pain points for mines is tracking the so-called “underground lockup”, the blasted but unutilized material left underground. Traditionally, this process was labor-intensive, error-prone, and reliant on manual data entry. But Mineware Consulting’s new underground lockup tracking functionality is…

Just like a shop needs to do regular stock takes, a mine needs regular resource compilations to keep track of what’s in the ground. These compilations rely on sampling data that’s both accurate and precise – not just in the assay results but also in the exact locations where samples are taken. Getting both right…

The South African mining industry has come a long way since Jan Gerrit Bantjes discovered gold on the farm Vogelstruisfontein in the Witwatersrand in 1884. In the same year, the Struben brothers stumbled on the Confidence Reef on the farm Wilgespruit, near present-day Roodepoort – and the rest, as they say, is history. One of…

Historical Legacy   South Africa has a long history of mining, dating back to the late 19th century. Many older mines were developed without stringent environmental regulations, leading to widespread environmental contamination from poorly managed mine waste, including tailings dams, waste rock dumps, and abandoned mine shafts.  Gold mining has been a major industry in South…
