Geoscience Data Management
Geoscience data management software that enables interaction in a 3D space
Continuous TSF modelling
Our dynamic web hosted environment, managed by mining engineers and geoscientists, creates a centralised and holistic knowledge base for any mine metric, including environmental and climate data.
Live data capture and 3D interaction is made possible by autonomous loggers on site, and the GDMS software capability can continuously model any type of TSF configuration. Geoscience Data Management facilitates TSF modelling that can be applied to the continuous data stream for use in applications and processes throughout the project.
Modelling in Mining
TSF modelling is an essential tool for mining operations, allowing stakeholders to visualise, understand and predict changes to a mine’s TSF. Lack of visualisation of the tailings management process can result in an inability to effectively plan, react, respond and comply with regulatory standards and guidance. 3D modelling allows stakeholders to understand the complex nature of a TSF, as well as how a mine’s processes and infrastructure interact with it. Predictive modelling allows the remediation of issues before they present themselves, facilitating the continuous operation of a facility. This is vital for any mining operation looking to increase efficiency and productivity while reducing costs.
SOFTWARE FEATURES
3D Modelling
The software allows users to visualise a TSF and estimate tailings capacity for a range of tailings properties, pond configurations, and deposition configurations.
Real time sharing
Share inferences with stakeholders in real time, allowing for up-to-date reporting of mine processes and TSF status.
Proactive Visualisation
By configuring the model with site specific geology users can view how the tailings deposition will be affected by changes in mining operations and processes.
Manipulate in Raw Format
Users can physically visualise the database in its raw format, offering the ability to manipulate and push back into the database.
WEB HOSTED ENVIRONMENT
Our software streamlines the process of TSF design, underpinning decisions that impact a facility’s capability to safely and efficiently store runoff from your mining process over the lifecycle of the operation.
Continual Back Ups
Our software database is backed and mirrored daily, meaning that in the unlikely event of a breach to server the maximum amount of lost data will not exceed 24 hours.
Secure Storage
GDMS has partnered with NextDC, the most secure server storage facility in Australia. In storing our data securely we are able to provide reassurance to clients and stakeholders of the security of data.
Real Time Collaboration
The web-hosted nature of the software allows for collaboration between users in real time, meaning no delays in processing or production as all users interact with the most recent forms of the data.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is geological data?
Data management is the process of gathering, arranging, safeguarding, and archiving an organization’s data so that it can be used for analysis and decision-making. Data management solutions are crucial for making sense of the enormous amounts of data that operations produce.

Why is data management important in TSF compliance?
The GISTM principles state that operators must “develop and maintain an interdisciplinary knowledge base to support safe tailings management throughout the tailings facility lifecycle, including closure. The GDMS multi-user platform provides a central knowledgebase for sharing and collaboration between disparate roles responsible for the management of a tailings facility, simplifying governance accountability.
