ABOUT THE EVENT

Connecting Mining Geology Community Through Knowledge, Innovation, and Collaboration

Datamine Australia is pleased to host the Geology Symposium 2026 in Perth this August.

The Symposium brings together geology and resource professionals to explore the latest developments in mining geology, with a focus on current challenges and emerging opportunities across modern geology and mining operations.

Across the program, attendees will gain insights through expert presentations, real-world case studies, panel discussion and technical workshops designed to support more informed decision-making and improved operational outcomes. The content is focused on practical application, enabling insights that can be directly applied to enhance everyday geological modelling and performance.

Attendees will hear directly from leading industry professionals and organisations including Ravenswood Gold, Newmont, Mine Vision Systems, Augment Technologies, Geosyntec, Gold Fields, Northern Star, Snowden Optiro, and Datamine.

The Symposium also provides valuable opportunities to connect and network within the Australian mining geology community, with post-event networking drinks at 18 Knots Rooftop Bar.

DAY 2 - TECHNICAL WORKSHOPS

Wednesday, 12 August 2026

STUDIO GEO WORKSHOP
8.00 AM – 11.30 AM

Trainer:

Exploration To Production: Building Mineralisation Models in Studio Geo

Create and update models quickly using the new Dynamic Modeling system

This hands-on workshop will guide participants through building a mineralisation model from scratch using Studio Geo’s Dynamic Modelling system. Topics include drillhole data import, interval selection, fault creation, model generation, and an introduction to additional tools such as block modelling and GC Estimation.

Course Outline:

• Comparing Studio Geo and Studio RM
• Looking at the Implicit and Explicit wireframe tools available
• Importing Drillhole Data
• Setting up the dynamic modeling window
• Tweaking wireframe generation options 
• Viewing outputs and making changes
• Creating and adding faults to the model
• Updating drilling with a click of the button 
• Adding in other tasks such as Blockmodels or Macros

SUPERVISOR WORKSHOP

1:00 PM – 4:30 PM

Trainers:

From Conditional Simulation to Localised Conditional Simulation Using Supervisor

Turn uncertainty into insight, learn to simulate, validate and localise conditional simulations with confidence 

Learn how Supervisor is used to run and validate conditional simulations and transition outputs into a Localised Conditional Simulation (LCS) workflow. Through practical examples, participants will gain experience in simulation setup, validation techniques, and applying localisation methods to improve model relevance and interpretability.

Course Outline:

• Purpose and advantages over estimation method 
• Key concepts: uncertainty, variability, and multiple realizations 
• Validating conditional simulations
• Setting up input data and parameter 
• Running and validating conditional simulations
• Managing outputs
• Concept of localisation
• When and why to apply localisation
• Practical hints about the localisation approach
• Validating LCS outputs 

DAY 3 - TECHNICAL WORKSHOP

Thursday, 13 August 2026

RECONCILOR WORKSHOP
9.00 AM – 4.00 PM

Trainer:

Modern Mine Reconciliation: Principles, Processes and Practical Application in Reconcilor

Explore the fundamentals of mine reconciliation and the practical application of industry-leading reconciliation technology in this interactive workshop.

This full-day session begins with key reconciliation principles and their application in understanding variances, identifying losses, quantifying uncertainty, and improving operational performance. Participants will then apply these concepts in a hands-on Reconcilor exercise.

Course Outline:

• Introduction to mine reconciliation principles
• Improving operational performance through reconciliation
• Overview of best practices in reconciliation
• Introduction to Datamine Reconcilor
• Hands-on Reconcilor session (analysis & investigation)
• Stockpile management and analysis
• Reporting, dashboarding and communication of results

ALL WORKSHOPS ARE FREE OF CHARGE, WITH LIMITED SEATS AVAILABLE

Registration is on first-come, first-served basis
