CIM Calgary Branch Monthly Speaking Event

acQuire is pleased to sponsor and speak at the February edition of the monthly speaking event hosted by the CIM Calgary Branch.

The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) is the leading not-for-profit technical society of professionals in the Canadian minerals, metals, materials and energy industries.

acQuire’s Technology Advisor, Greg Ashcroft, will be presenting “How an effective geoscientific information management framework helps companies stay compliant”.

Geoscientific information management enables the capture, management and delivery of the original geoscientific observations and measurements of the earth’s natural resources. However, geoscientific observations and measurements are worth nothing if the quality and integrity of the data can’t be guaranteed. Geoscientific information is fundamental towards making confident and accurate business decisions, whether that is defining a resource model, performing reconciliation, delivering ore reserve reports or meeting environmental compliance requirements. Without access to reliable data, through a robust information management framework, the risk increases of using incorrect or unreliable information to prove compliance for government and/or environmental regulations or industry reporting codes. Mining companies should be able to confidently report to these standards.

It is common for mining companies to only consider technology tools as the key focus for proving compliance whereas a mature information management focus also includes people and process. All three pillars are critical for a miner to have confidence in their data driven decisions.

We present an industry framework for best-practice geoscientific information management that focuses on how the three pillars of people, process and technology are crucial elements to improve operational decisions and ensure companies are compliant.
