Micromine Unlocks New Capabilities for Geologists and Planners in the 2025 Mid-Year Release

Micromine, a recognized leader in mining technology, has unveiled its 2025 mid-year release, delivering enhanced functionality across the entire mining value chain. The release introduces two key innovations set to significantly transform the workflows of geologists and underground mine planners.

AI-Driven Geological Modeling

Micromine Origin now includes Grade Copilot, a leading AI-powered modeling tool available across all geology and resource evaluation module subscriptions. This supports the shift to data-driven geology and makes advanced capabilities a seamless part of daily work.

A New Era for Underground Mine Planning

Micromine Advance has become the most powerful solution for underground mine planning, thanks to a newly integrated stope optimizer. This innovation is just one of several new tools providing engineers with everything they need for underground planning within a single, unified platform.

These core features are part of a comprehensive update across Micromine’s integrated ecosystem—eight interconnected products covering the entire mining cycle. The release also brings new tools, from cloud capabilities and AI automation to advanced planning solutions.

“We’re proud to continue helping our clients maximize the value of their projects with integrated technologies that adapt to real-world tasks and evolving business needs,” said Andrew Birch, CEO of Micromine.

“This release marks a significant step toward building a digital platform that boosts efficiency at every stage of the mining lifecycle. With AI, automation, and real-time collaboration tools, we're giving users access to cutting-edge solutions.”

Highlights from the Micromine 2025 Mid-Year Release:

Exploration and Geology

Micromine Geobank, the geological data management solution, is now available in a cloud-based version via the Micromine Nexus platform. This gives users access to geological data anytime, anywhere—eliminating the need for infrastructure and maintenance while offering greater flexibility and convenience.

Micromine Origin, the geological modeling and visualization software, continues to redefine modern geology. AI is now fully embedded in all subscriptions, enabling users to build models in minutes, test hypotheses, and focus on high-value tasks. Routine processes—such as drill planning and investment evaluation—are now automated, driving greater efficiency.

Design and Planning

Micromine Beyond, the pit design solution, now enables closer collaboration between design and planning teams. Automated tools allow for instant updates to pit elements like berms and benches, with real-time model adjustments. Integration with Micromine Alastri enables drag-and-drop model transfers for seamless short- and long-term planning—minimizing errors and speeding up workflows.

Micromine Spry, the scheduling solution for stratified deposits, introduces new dependency management tools. These allow planners to more easily define and adjust interdependencies between operations, improving schedule accuracy and accelerating decision-making.

Micromine Alastri, the open-pit planning solution, adds new features to reduce assumptions and create more realistic plans. Engineers gain greater control and detail, enabling them to build tactical plans that truly align with operational needs. This isn’t just about performance—it’s about making well-informed, strategic decisions with confidence.

Micromine Advance, launched earlier this year, is quickly emerging as a comprehensive underground mine planning solution. With its built-in stope optimizer, engineers can design stopes, generate schedules, and manage plans in a single environment. More powerful tools are now included as standard, making Micromine Advance a complete underground planning platform.

Operations and Transportation

Micromine Pitram, the OEM-agnostic mine control and fleet management solution, continues to increase transparency and operational efficiency—particularly for underground operations. A new shotcrete monitoring tool tracks the process from mix preparation to application in specific headings. Additional equipment status indicators now provide clearer insights into downtime causes, and improved system resilience ensures data integrity, even during temporary connection losses.

Data Management and Collaboration

The Micromine Nexus platform continues to evolve as a unified digital hub. This release introduces new features, including cloud-based product access and improved real-time collaboration tools. Teams can now coordinate more effectively across all project stages—without the need for complex infrastructure and with easy scalability as business needs grow.

Final Remarks from CEO Andrew Birch:

“The 2025 mid-year release reinforces Micromine’s commitment to innovation and partnership with the mining industry. Our mission is to deliver technologies that drive success at every step of the mining process.”

The Micromine 2025 Mid-Year Release is now available for download and installation to all current users.
