Vulcan

The Maptek Technical Services team worked in close collaboration with Rio Tinto to solve
critical operational challenges to deliver a successful project

PT Vale employs Maptek Vulcan for waste dump design at a nickel laterite operation on the
island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.

An open cut mine in Queensland maximised coal recovery through accurate data interpretation
and structural modelling using measurement-while-drilling data.

A customised Maptek Vulcan underground face mapping solution helps acquire critical
geological information for production modelling.

An underground metals mine in Mexico improved estimation of mineral resources through implementation of Maptek Vulcan workflow tools.

For a New Zealand consulting firm, the Maptek Geology Challenge was a chance to trial new software that could ultimately improve outcomes for clients.

K2fly Resource Reporting is a secure, cloud-based platform that enables confident, secure
mineral resource and ore reserve governance, compliance and reporting.

The strong relationship between Aeris Resources and Maptek has been key to a successful software rollout, establishing new geology workflows and procedures.

Taking advantage of consulting services has helped a South African limestone operation produce a comprehensive reserves report in a timely manner.

Environmental, social and governance considerations drive mine planning for a small scale miner in the historical goldfields of eastern Australia.

Sanshandao Gold Mine uses Maptek Vulcan to optimize modelling and mine planning at complex underground operation in Shandong province.

Scripting in Vulcan helps turn the sheer volume of mining information into usable data, and allows more time for assessment and analysis.

Maptek has tailored an automated approach to measuring mine compliance that allows engineers more time to analyse results and make timely decisions.

Transforming a paper-based process into a digital workflow has reduced the time taken to complete underground mapping by two-thirds.

Thiess strives to better design and deliver solutions that unlock potential and create pathways to greater performance.

Implicit Modelling tools were used to create a valid geological model for short term planning at Quebrada Blanca Mine in Chile.

A new ore control system has been implemented at an open pit gold mine in Peru, combining Vulcan with other processes to streamline analysis.

Ore grading at Cleveland Cliffs increased the consistency of the crude ore blend and in turn ensured predictable pellet quality. Since introducing Vulcan, 90% of crude ore has met quality targets.

Maptek Vulcan is being used for resource and reserve estimation using quality indicators, for a marble quarry in northeastern Greece.

Maptek and Australian iron ore producer Roy Hill are collaborating on deep learning, AI and immersive technologies to accelerate orebody knowledge and inform upstream planning.
