Micromine, part of Weir, has launched Momentum 2027, showcasing the latest innovations and updates designed to help mining teams around the world carry insights from one decision to the next, it says.
As mining operations become increasingly complex, the quality of decisions and the ability to carry insights forward have become critical drivers of performance. Momentum 2027 builds on Micromine’s vision for a connected mining ecosystem, helping organisations maintain context as information moves from exploration and planning through to production, Micromine says.
Across the portfolio, AI is being applied inside real workflows to help teams reduce repetitive work, improve access to information and act with greater confidence, Micromine says. Combined with practical updates shaped by customer feedback, the release highlights how technology can better support the people making decisions across the value chain.
Kristen Walsh, President, Software Solutions at Weir, says: “Across that value chain, no decision stands alone. What teams learn in exploration shapes the geological model, which then informs the mine design and the plan. What happens in the operation then creates new information for the decisions that follow.
“Mining organisations need both deep technical capability and stronger connections between teams. That’s the loop we’re closing. It means doing two things at once. We’re deepening technical capability while connecting data, tools and people across the portfolio through our shared cloud platform, Micromine Nexus.”
Backed by Weir’s global mining expertise and deep industry relationships, Momentum 2027 reflects a broader vision for a more connected mining ecosystem. Together with technologies including MOTION METRICS™ and Fast2Mine, Micromine is creating new opportunities for integration across the wider ecosystem, it says.
Exploration and geology
Updates in Micromine Geobank and Micromine Origin strengthen the journey from geological data collection through to decision making. New capabilities improve data quality, traceability and confidence, while enhanced modelling and AI-powered tools help geologists generate insights and make informed decisions faster.
Design and planning
Across Micromine Beyond, Alastri, Spry and Advance, the focus is on helping engineers spend less time managing processes and more time improving plans. New automation, AI and scheduling capabilities support more efficient workflows, faster scenario evaluation and more realistic planning across open-pit and underground operations.
Operations and production
Updates in Micromine Pitram help teams capture operational data more easily and maintain clearer visibility underground. Expanded support for in-cab devices and new digital drilling workflows give sites greater flexibility, reduce reliance on paper and keep information current across shifts.
Workflows and intelligence
Micromine Nexus continues to connect people and data across the mining value chain. New capabilities improve governance, traceability and collaboration, improving how teams work from shared information.
Walsh believes the value of mining technology should be judged by customer outcomes, not features.
“The measure for any technology is simple: does it help people make better decisions?” she says. “Momentum 2027 is about helping geologists, engineers, planners and operational teams spend less time managing information and more time applying their expertise where it matters most.”
