Why do mining companies need Cirrus?

Cirrus is changing the way mining companies handle valuable data, with the first fully web-based mining software solution. In addition to that, it is allowing mining projects to conduct much more comprehensive mineral reserves sensitivity analysis.

Mining companies are still storing important mining data on USB sticks and LAN (Local area networks), this is very outdated and inefficient. It means that data is often lost or corrupted and relies on the resources of expensive IT departments.

With Cirrus, you can upload any kind of mining data into a Cirrus project and store it in the ‘cloud’, meaning data is backed up and easily accessible.  Once you have uploaded data, it is straight-forward to share it with colleagues or business partners. You can manage users permissions, so that only the right people have access to sensitive block models and economic information.

As data is uploaded into a Cirrus project, you can visualise it in 3D on any device. You can use your fingers to zoom in and pan objects whilst at the airport, or out in the field.

After you have uploaded block model data, you can create multiple Resource and Economic configurations allowing you to quickly generate resource and reserve reports.

One of the most valuable functions of the Cirrus workflow is the deterministic sensitivity analysis, and this is where we really start seeing the power and speed of calculations made in the cloud. Cirrus’s sensitivity analysis engine is a unique product that can perform economic risk assessment in the n-dimension space on mineral resources and reserves. This allows users to run multiple economic scenarios in minutes, meaning management and operations can make much more informed decisions.

Lastly, mining engineers and geologists are not always sat at their desks. They need software that will work on any device and is accessible in the field. With Cirrus, you can use all its features on a tablet, or a smartphone.

Cirrus is the first 100% web-based mining software solution. Any user, any device, anywhere.
