Studio Survey

Studio Survey is the complete solution for mine surveying and reporting. It is a powerful yet straightforward product that does everything that you as a mine surveyor need it to do.

Studio Survey's functionality has been designed to suit the needs of the open pit and underground mine surveyor.

Streamlined and focussed processes significantly reduce the time that a surveyor will spend appending data, performing calculations and producing regular reports such as end of month reconciliations. Studio Survey is built on Datamine’s solid core platform making it well equipped for operational use today and ready for industry advances in the future.

Studio Survey Benefits

Smart EOM Reporting

With a wide range of dedicated tasks to manage both data and workflow, Studio Survey makes end-of-month reconciliation and reporting simple and reliable. Whether you need to report actual pit or ROM extraction results, or need a definitive compliance statement against the plan or original design, Studio Survey delivers easy-to-use reporting consoles for both open pit and underground development, memo and stope reporting.

Format your reports however you like using a template-based approach where every report type can be associated with its own plot parameter template, for a range of output data types (table, spreadsheet, PDF or 3D preview).

Simple, Secure Database

Studio Survey can connect to a local or remote survey database, making data sharing and synchronization quick and easy. You can always be confident that you're working with the latest ground truth and that your output reports reflect reality.

Import & Export Drivers

Studio Survey can integrate with a host of existing data formats including the ability to dynamically link to a drillhole database for real time updates. You can even access Datamine's powerful Drillhole Importer console for flexible and rapid data connection management.

Solid and Surface Modelling

Studio Survey has flexible tools to allow for either manual or automated creation of wireframe solids or surfaces to represent geological features, including the full range of Boolean and planar commands available in other products in the Studio range.

Core Strength

Datamine's Studio product range has built on its strengths for over 40 years, and provides the mining industry with the most capable tools available for data visualization, editing and analysis. Featuring an extensive range of evolved processes and commands to suit every occasion, these tools have been designed by industry experts. Partnered with proprietary tools unique to Studio Survey and a rich automation and scripting facility, you're always close to the most efficient solution.

MineTrust Data Management

MineTrust is Datamine's data sharing service; a data management solution that is used to share and synchronise versions of files and groups of files between multiple users and teams in separate locations. Unlike many other file synchronisation systems, MineTrust can deal with groups of files, or packages, with a mix of file types that are synchronised and shared together. MineTrust can tag packages and files with any amount of meta data to reflect the data’s content, purpose, and how it is used within organisations and business processes.

Note: If you are interested in supporting your business with MineTrust but haven't made the move yet, contact your local Datamine office to work out a plan that's best for you.

MineTrust is built into Datamine Studio products by default. The use of automatically assigned tags specific to products and workflows, enables data to be shared automatically and efficiently between users and products, removing the need to manually manage and transfer files.

A cloud-hosted, highly secure data storage service, MineTrust provides reliable data management services for all team members, regardless of their location. Data is 'pushed' to the server following changes on the desktop and 'pulled' to other users' machines where newer data is available. This makes the following tasks to be performed very quickly and easily:

Sharing the latest 'ground truth' with other team members, such as sharing the latest field mapping data with resource modellers, or the latest EOM survey results, and so on.
Sharing reference data amongst multiple team members, such as the latest development plan to update reconciliation results, or a standard legend to be used for corporate-level reporting, for example.
Pushing data along a workflow, such as the latest drillhole sample data for implicit modelling revisions.

MineTrust is built specifically for resource modelling and mine planning workflows. Its integration with Studio products ensures teams collaborate in real-time without leaving their familiar working environment. It helps eliminate miscommunication and data duplication by centralising project files and enforcing structured sharing practices across departments, operations and the corporate enterprise.
