The Primary Requirement For Successful Resources Projects
There is one thing on which all of the very competent exploration and mining analysis, evaluation and management applications rely on. It’s the same thing that the new emerging technologies from artificial intelligence and big data to block-chain and quantum computing rely on for successful outcomes
… An underlying foundation of sound, complete, accurate, secure and accessible technical data
GDD’s Data Philosophy
Whether you’re a Vulcanologist, a Data-Miner, a Surface Packer, develop Very Small Mines or you just like to Leap Frogs, you need to assemble and manage your technical data competently
Managing this master data in a logically organised, independent and auditable data management environment allows more rapid and accurate analysis, interpretation and decision making, enhancing both the outcomes, their confidence, and reducing project risk
In a nutshell, GDD’s philosophies include the need to –
· Accept the critical need for competent master technical data for all projects
· Understand what constitutes this master technical data; it’s far more than letters and numbers these days….
· Fully appreciate the true value of this technical data collection
· Intentionally plan and proactively manage how you technical data acquired, stored and protected
· Create and ‘encourage’ clear data management standards and procedures, and data governance guidelines
· Train your own people in these areas to retain full control of this critical project asset
