In this episode, we chat with Janina Elliot, Segment Director of Mining at Seequent, a global leader in subsurface software that supports the mining and mineral exploration industry. Seequent’s technology helps geoscientists and engineers better understand the earth beneath our feet, enabling smarter decisions around resource discovery, development, and management.

In this episode, we’ll discuss some of the innovative work Seequent is doing across the sector, including insights from their recently released Geoprofessionals Data Management Report. We explore the challenges the industry faces in managing and integrating geological data, where technology is creating new opportunities for exploration and production, and how digital innovation is shaping the future of mining.

Janina will also share Seequent’s perspective on the emerging ideas and technologies that could define the next chapter of the industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

More than one-third of geoscientists struggle with "data wrangling," spending significant time managing data rather than performing expert analysis.
Seequent emphasises an open ecosystem approach, partnering with other technology providers to ensure seamless data integration across the entire mining lifecycle.
New cloud platforms like Seequent allow for faster feedback loops, enabling explorers to adjust drilling patterns and targets in real-time based on live data.
The ultimate goal of emerging mining technology is to automate mundane tasks, freeing geoscientists to be the "creative thinkers" the industry needs to solve complex problems.

BEST MOMENTS

"What we’re trying to do is to bring clarity to the complexity that is the underground."

"A lot of our geoscientists in the field really struggle with the idea of having to spend a predominant amount of their time with data management and not being able to think about the problem."

"Geoscientists truly are creative individuals... the idea is to provide technology that supports them every step of the way."

"We’re all under a lot of pressure these days... to be able to open a conversation and to be open to the idea of integrating new technologies, new ideas, into existing systems."
