BHP Billiton, Olympic Dam, Australia

Josh Bryant , Manager Mine Technical Services

…“In 2008, the Olympic Dam underground experienced a significant incident, that had serious potential within the underground mine.  One of the key root causes was found to be incorrect data (specifically the lack of void information) in an unstable and unsupported system"… 
... “MineCAD SDB’s customisation suits our extremely complex mine and can handle the enormous amount of data that we have.  The installation of MineCAD SDB has honestly given me confidence that we now have a safer working environment as a result of the integrity of our data ”

Impala Platinum, South Africa

Mike Ward, Technical Services Manager: MRM

“Impala Platinum has partnered with MineRP in the implementation and development of Mining Technical Systems since 2001. Many successes have been attained, not least the production of more credible Business Plans and better Reserve and Resource Management.
Implats is planning to increase the geographical footprint of the MineRP suite of software across all of its operations within the next 5 years. Included in this plan is the resolution to upgrade to the spatially-oriented MineRP concept, which is seen to be crucial to the future value-add that systems can provide the business.”

De Beers Canada Inc. - Snap Lake Mine

Alex Tomich - Medium Planner

 “Ventsim has allowed our operation to have a better grasp on the overall mine ventilation. We were able to run complex ventilation simulation with confidence and ease with the graphical interface. Also we have found the 3-D model the easiest to use when showing visitors a 3-D model of the mine. (GMSI) IT Support was pleasant and were able to deal with our licensing issues in a timely manner”.
MineRP is a distributor of Ventsim in the Americas for Chasm Consulting.  We see it as a best of breed ventilation simulation solution and have developed an interface to mineCAD to make it easier for our clients to integrate with their mine planning software.
Alex says, “I think that’s the only time I ever called IT”, which is also a testament to the ease of use and stability of Ventsim.

Laurentian University – School of Engineering, Sudbury, ON, Canada

Dougal R. McCreath PhD, PEng, FEIC, Professor Emeritus

MineRP Canada has been involved with Laurentian University for several years working to embed the Mine2-4D, EPS and mineCAD software solutions into the Mining Engineering curriculum.  Our involvement has varied from implementing our mine planning tools into the mine design project in their 4th year capstone course, to teaching the course itself when full-time professors went on sabbatical.
“Let me take this opportunity to express my very sincere thanks for the strong support and help that GMSI (MineRP) have provided to the Mining Engineering program at Laurentian over the years.  You have been willing to step in at critical points to provide both infrastructure and teaching help in Mine Planning, for which we are most grateful.  I hope that this cooperation will continue and strengthen in the future.”

Jonathan Chan – Graduate Mining Engineer, Technology & Innovation

“The staff at GijimaAst have always been knowledgeable and friendly.  Through in-person training and support calls, they have helped me use Mine 2-4D and EPS to suit our business’ mine design and mine scheduling needs.  I look forward to working with them in the future and seeing where they take their software products.”

Patrick Lachapelle - EIT / Mine Technologist

“We have been using Mine2-4D, EPS & EPS Viz as a long-term planning tool for the past year at Aurico Gold’s Young-Davidson Mine.  The tools and support provided by MineRP has allowed us to further optimize our LOM plan.   EPS has facilitated the scheduling process by helping to determine any potential future bottlenecks and EPS Viz is a great visual tool to convey concepts to upper management”.

Dave Dyet

Senior Underground Mine Designer/Planner

“Having used mineCAD for over 6 years, mineCAD has helped me with creating robust designs and illustrative ideas to co-workers and clients.  GMSI’s technical support has always been helpful and willing to guide me through any unknown area of mineCAD that I haven't used.  Among the many mineCAD processes that are helpful for generating a mine design; the highlights for me are; the browser window for easy navigation, ease of making layers, exporting formats and generating wireframes saves me an immense amount of time. 
In a industry that is bustling with activity and demands are high for mine designs, it’s good to see mineCAD is around to help.”

Darryl Dyason,Senior Mining Engineer

“I have been using Mine2-4D and EPS since 2006  and have found it invaluable in the consulting business, it has enabled me to produce mine plans and schedules quickly and effectively, these plans can then be readily displayed and critiqued by the clients utilising EPS visualiser giving them piece of mind that the design and schedules produced are correct and meet their requirements.”

“My experience with MineRP has been excellent from way back when I was with QuadraFNX to present times. Software support has been excellent; there was always someone able to answer all of my questions or fix problems that were mostly caused by user error . I, along with others at Taurus, believe the service provided is excellent. My experience with MineRP is primarily related to software support.”
