Datamine Software Ltd. provides services to and develops and distributes software solutions for the mining industry.

History

Datamine Software Ltd. was formally founded in January 1996.^[1] Datamine was acquired by CAE, Inc. in April 2010 as an expansion of services into the mining industry.^[2] However, in October 2015, CAE sold Datamine to Canada-based Constellation Software, Inc., citing a need "to concentrate our capital investment and management resources on our three core markets."^[3]

In August 2019, Datamine announced that it had acquired the "intelligent mining solutions" (IMS) division of ABB Ltd., including its CCLAS laboratory information management system, which originally was created by Mincom Pty. Ltd. Datamine declared in its press release that "[a]ll [acquired] IMS products will continue to be actively developed and supported."^[4]

Technology and products

CCLAS

CCLAS is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) "that automates laboratory processes" and "offers superior quality control functions" for "mining companies, commercial testing, and wastewater laboratories."^[5] The software can be installed locally on a Windows machine (as CCLAS EL^[6]) or hosted in the cloud via the SaaS distribution model, as CCLAS 6^[5]

The company has many other non-laboratory software options. Consult their website to learn more about them.

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:

the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
the feature does not exist for the product.

A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
