Geosoft and ESRI Solutions for Mining and Geosciences

Geosoft Incorporated (Canada) is collaborating with ESRI (CA, USA) to deliver integrated software and data management solutions for the global mining and geosciences sector. The collaboration will result in a scalable and interoperable software platform that improves the availability and integration of geoscientific data for successful earth exploration and discovery.

“With record growth within the mining and geoscience sector, we’ve seen increased customer demand for global solutions that can scale to their requirement for sharing and integrating vast amounts of data,” said Tim Dobush, CEO of Geosoft. “We are pleased to be partnering with ESRI in the delivery of integrated solutions that will increase efficiency as well as discovery potential.”  

Teck Cominco Ltd, a world leader in the production of zinc and metallurgical coal, became the first mining company to adopt the collaborative solution. “We selected Geosoft and ESRI technology because we saw a strong fit with our need to establish a solid data foundation, and company-wide standards for our exploration systems,” said Bob Holroyd, director of Global Exploration Technology for Teck Cominco. “The interoperability of all our exploration software platforms is absolutely critical, and ESRI’s ArcGIS system together with Geosoft’s DAP data server technology, Target and Oasis montaj applications, gives us everything we need within one solution.”
