Hexagon Mining has been contracted to supply its MineSight mine planning software to three European customers.
Hexagon Mining’s London office has won contracts with Turkish companies Alacer Gold and Polimetal Mining, and Ellatzite Med of Bulgaria, who will be using MineSight software for their mine planning needs. All three companies chose Hexagon Mining for its proven technology and customer service.
Baris Cakir, Chief Planning Engineer at Polimetal Mining in Ankara, Turkey said Hexagon Mining’s strong planning tools and very flexible MineSight Implicit Modeler were key reasons behind their decision to choose the software. He added that Hexagon Mining also delivered high quality customer service including using Turkish speakers and providing excellent technical support.
MineSight software is used widely in Europe, especially in Turkey and not only in the country’s mines. Istanbul University has adopted MineSight for mining courses while interest in MineSight-related studies has been so high at Osmangazi University in the northwest Turkish province of Eskişehir that new courses have been added and more licenses dispatched. Dr Mahmut Yavuz and Dr Mehmet Aksoy use MineSight in the school’s undergraduate elective course, Computer Applications in Mining, which covers open pit mine design.
The popularity of the course prompted Osmangazi to introduce a second course for computerised underground mine design. According to Dr Yavuz, MineSight is the best software in the mining industry to design underground and open pit projects.
