GEMCOM Software has reported a jump in sales of its geological modelling and planning tool for coal mining in the Asia Pacific.
Minex is a software tool used by exploration and mining companies, and is said to be increasingly adopted in coal mining operations.
The company says strong demand for the software is being fuelled by the industry boom, and companies are seeking improved tools for geology and mine planning.
According to the company, the software offers comprehensive coal-specific functionality, and easily interfaces with other business systems.
The system aims to boost convenience by incorporating geological modeling, strategic planning and mine planning in one package.
