Master Technical Data Management

Your technical data underpins aspect of the analysis, evaluation, decision making and reporting work related to your resources projects

GDD can help you with –

·      Data environment reviews - Review, structure and implement a sound data collection, management and analysis file system environment

·      Data ‘distillation’ – GDD’s term for the taming and reorganisation of unruly existing data collections

·      Database reviews and audits - Review and clean-up of current database systems

·      Database implementations - Install and commission new database systems and supporting data management environment

·      Standards and procedures – Data management rules and guidelines to help keep things both accurate and consistent

GDD can guide you through the entire data identification, assembly and management process for ALL of your technical data across the mining life-cycle

By ‘ALL’ of your data we mean –

·      Primary technical data – the conventional alphanumeric project data

·      Secondary data – photos, images, other multi-media or georeferenced maps directly related to primary data items

·      Tertiary or metadata files – those lab certificates, consultant reports and other files that support and verify the primary and secondary data

GDD can also show you how to link them all in your database so you have instant access to all of these related data objects.

Not important? … You’ve got to be JORCing!

Technical Data System Reviews

Reviews and audits of the technical data environment and system files looking at the -

·      Technical data system environment

·      Folder and file organisation

·      Data management process and data flows and system file management

·      Technical data status

·      Standards and procedures in place to manage these aspects

Existing Data ‘Distillation’

GDD are experts in unravelling large fragmented data sets

Our significant experience, and our specialised geoUte data discovery and assembly tools enable us to rapidly identify, assemble and integrate the buried master technical data.

·      Existing data

·      Historical data collections

·      Existing current project data

·      Data ‘distillation’

·      Cataloguing

·      Identification of master technical data and related secondary data and supporting files

·      Clean up and segregate / reorganise

·      Assembly and integration of disparate data sets

·      Validation and ongoing integrity checking

Database Management Systems

Having created and commissioned over 100 technical database systems, GDD can assist with -

·      Existing database reviews and audits

·      Database clean-ups and optimisation

·      Data assembly and migration

Database Management System Implementation

We can also implement and commission new technical database systems, by –

·      Implementation and data migration into one of GDD’s gPick resources databases

·      Development of a custom database system, using GDD’s gNeric database libraries to provide a broad range of generic capabilities

Standards and Procedures

GDD can help you establish technical data management standards and procedures for, for example –

·      Master resource and project technical data collection, validation and ongoing management

·      Geological exploration, logging, sampling and analysis processes

·      Mining processes and activities such as grade control sampling, analysis, QA/QC reporting and reconciliation

We can also help you establish some technical data governance guidelines; the standards and procedures for your standards and procedures….
