Our goal is to provide an easy-to-use tool for you to

access, create, edit, and display your data – everything

from exploration drillholes to pit designs and

reclamation topography. By incorporating a multitude of

CAD (computer-aided design) and other functions, we

believe we have met this goal and more.

What is MineSight®?

MineSight® is a state-of-the-art, 3-D, comprehensive

geologic modeling and mine planning software system.

MineSight® enables operations to build a project

database containing 3-D representations of drillhole

data, gridded and triangulated surfaces, sectional

geologic interpretations, survey information, 3-D

block model data viewed sections or grade shells,

gridded seam model data, and 3-D geometric objects.

MineSight® Data Security System (DSS)MineSight® Data Security System (DSS)

The Data Security System (DSS) ensures the

entire mine’s data set, in large multi-user

environments, is managed safely and

efficiently. The DSS is an open database

connectivity (ODBC) management tool that

controls the use of a single common data set,

accessed by MineSight® users. Every object

has a unique reference identifier and the DSS

controls the checking out (borrowing),

checking in (submitting), and ownership

authority of all data.

MineSight® Operations is the centerpiece of our strategy for

establishing MineSight® at operating mines.

MineSight® Operations is an ongoing process, since it will

continue to evolve at operating mines as new sources of

information must be linked to it.

Mintec will continue to expand MineSight® Operations through

application at existing sites.
