Seequent has just signed a deal with the Canadian headquartered and listed company Minerva Intelligence Incorporated (Minerva), a mining software business, to acquire their product – DRIVER.
There are some final steps required before this is formally closed, however Minerva has made an announcement to the stock market and so now we are able to share the news.
Smart Technology Driving Deeper Data Insights
DRIVER has been developed to service the mineral exploration and mining industry by helping them better evaluate drilling data to identify geochemical anomalies, understand geometallurgical domains, and conduct rapid 3D analysis. Without intelligent technology such as DRIVER, creating a 3D map of geochemical anomalies is a difficult, prolonged exercise for geologists who are already time-poor. Advanced exploratory data analysis (EDA) provides a deeper understanding of these geochemical anomalies, without the need for complex coding or time-consuming manual processing. These in depth, automated insights enable users to make better informed and faster drill targeting decisions, particularly advantageous for multi-element deposits with more complex datasets.
Connecting Emergent Technologies to Build Stronger Solutions
Our acquisition of DRIVER adds to the growing technological capability in Seequent’s portfolio, utilising innovative data science technology to deliver deeper data insights, workflow optimisation and ultimately enhancing project outputs. Further augmenting our technological capabilities in the discovery phase of the mining value chain, it also enables a closer integration with our market-leading solutions which are key to a geoscientist’s workflow. Similarly, bringing the development under one company means tighter alignment in development timelines and ensures the solutions are keeping pace with industry demands.
Accelerating Our Capabilities and Roadmap for the Future
As part of Seequent, DRIVER accelerates our capability to solve complex user challenges, with specialised functionality allowing geologists to identify geochemical anomalies from anisotropic features extraction and geostatistical mapping. The acquisition also helps drive forward our plans for the future with a strong focus on cloud technology and connected workflows in Seequent Evo. In turn, cloud deployment and faster and easier access to results provides users with a better understanding of the geochemistry of a deposit. The acquisition also reinforces our broader goal to bring complex, future-focused products to our users within our portfolio of easy-to-use software solutions.
