Established in 1997 as Graphic Mining Solutions International (GMSI), MineRP is a South African company specializing in software solutions for the mining industry. The firm operates on a global scale, with offices in Canada, Australia, and Chile, in addition to its headquarters in South Africa. A significant milestone in the company's history was its acquisition by Swedish equipment manufacturer Epiroc, which was agreed upon in December 2020 and finalized in May 2021. The acquisition integrated MineRP into Epiroc's Technology & Digital division, with the goal of enhancing the digital transformation of mining operations. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, MineRP reported revenues of approximately $16 million.
MineRP's core business revolves around a software platform that provides integrated planning, execution, and analytics for mining companies. The platform is designed to unify technical mining data with other information sources, such as machine data and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This integration facilitates collaboration across different disciplines and helps to streamline the entire mine planning process, from long-range strategies to detailed shift scheduling. The company serves large and medium-sized mines across various commodities, including platinum, gold, iron, and diamonds. Revenue is generated through the licensing of its software solutions and the provision of associated services, which include advisory consulting, project management, process optimization, and training.
The company's flagship product is the MineRP Platform, an open, standards-based digital integration platform. It addresses the challenge of data fragmentation by amalgamating information from various existing mining technical systems into a single, spatially contextualized environment. This allows for the spatial visualization, analysis, and animation of previously disconnected datasets. Key modules include "GeoInventory," for translating mineral assets into stock; "GeoFinance," which integrates with existing ERP systems; and "GeoOperations," for data analytics across the value chain. By connecting the technical aspects of mining with financial and commercial domains, the platform enables clients to optimize planning, increase operational efficiencies, and make decisions based on real-time data.
