Mining management

PERTH-BASED software developer Micromine Pty Ltd has successfully implemented its exploration and mining data management solution GBis into BHP Billiton’s iron ore operations in the Pilbara and its coal operations in Queensland.

Micromine purchased GBis from Billiton in 1999 and redesigned it to be a flexible data management system that can be tailored to suit any underlying database. GBis has been proven on projects targeting a wide range of commodities, including gold, platinum, nickel, chrome, copper, lead, zinc, iron ore and coal.
