Vision – for Placer Dome
“…we need to move to being a true global company with global systems. Common practices and processes will ensure innovation is shared globally and will give us the power and agility to succeed.”
Peter TomsettSeptember 15, 2004
Reading between the lines:
We have to do more with less, cheaper and faster, work together better.

Overview
The Focus will comprise five distinct components:
1. Data Format Standardisation (Specification and Definition)
2. Data Interchange Standardisation3. Foundation system selection (licensing
agreements)4. Implementation5. Training
Covering all areas affected by the Geological Process Namely:
• Spatial Data Management• Sample Data Management• Production – Mine Planning, Ore Control
and Mine Operations• Mill and Processing• Data Cataloguing

Regulations:(Sarbanes-Oxley) -Announcing Financial Results
New rules (Sarbanes-Oxley in U.S., pending Canadian rule) impose strict requirements on the CEO (and CFO) when announcing year end results -- personal certifications re financial information
• Severe sanctions for false certifications (fines and/or prison)
How to give CEO confidence in the information he is certifying?
• Good People• Leading practice (processes) –
building the pyramid• Internal control (governance) –
ongoing QA/QC over the pyramid building process
Reserve/resource information is a key component of the pyramid and all the information it is based on.
CEO
Regulations: NI 43-101 – Technical Information
New Canadian rules (NI 43-101) make the Qualified Persons (QP) responsible for technical information that the corporation reports, including reserve/resource estimates
QPs wear two hats• Personal/professional
responsibility• Assurance to CEO/CFO
(compliance with NI 43-101, reliable resource / reserve estimates – aware of data linage.
Assay Data eXchange (ADX)– a realisation of XMML
Major Mining Company
Assay Lab
Results
Submissions
Improve the way in which data in interchanged between Assay labs and Companies –retaining all metadata.
Get away from the cursed SIF format.
Progress made possible by commercial companies such as Metech and ALSChemexwith Industry pressure (and encouragement).
But without the foundation work of XMML we would not be where we are now
Goal: Have the ADX schema and tool set finalised by end of 2005 – and in use in a production enviroment.

Load interface is very simple• Browse for a file to upload –
either a FDGC ESRI profile xml metadata file, or a zip file containing a layer to upload accompanied by a file ending <layer>.metadata.xml
• to do: Select a workflow priority (high, medium, low)

Mining Industry Geospatial Consortium
www.MIGC.org
The goals of the Mining Industry Geospatial Consortium are to:
• Create an effective, sustainable organization that provides a forum for identifying solutions to the major data and software-related problems and issues facing the mining industry.
• Provide focused feedback to software vendors so they can concentrate their R&D and development on issues of greatest importance to the mining industry, and work with them to implement these solutions in their software.
• Define and endorse industry best practices for data management, metadata, data interoperability and transfer and document management.
• Provide guidance and feedback to government agencies to help them meet our needs.
• Share knowledge and experiences – how members have solved problems.
• Lobby and coordinate with other groups and organizations such as the Open GIS Consortium – IUGS – CGI

The primary business issues and opportunities driving this business case are:
• The need to better manage data so that geoscientists can spend their time looking for orebodies, secure in the knowledge that they have all the relevant data, the most current versions of the data, and they know enough about the data to use it effectively.
• The need to properly document data as it is purchased or collected so that it can be easily found, retrieved and used.
• The elimination of data format incompatibilities so that data istransparent to the client application.
• The need to make all relevant paper documents easily and quickly available to whoever needs them.

Key focus’s from Placer’s perspective for Interoperability
• Data rich statutory reporting• Data sharing• Reducing the need to manage datasets
where we are not the authoritivecustodian of those datasets• Data currency• Data quality• Data availability
• Client independence• High Performance computing for
Geophysics, Grade Control Simulation
SolidEarth EnvironmentalGrid Project
• XMML information model is developed BUT it needs to be usedto achieve business outcomes
• Require a “Community” to use it to perform business functions
• SEE Grid is the vehicle being used to foster the development ofa Community of Practice
