LiveMine and Minnovare Collaboration delivers value for clients
Collaboration between technology companies Minnovare and LiveMine creates value for their clients by streamlining their underground production drilling operations and providing the confidence the client needs to make informed decisions on data they can trust.
Minnovare and LiveMine have entered into a collaboration that will enable their mine production clients to share data across the business’s software platforms. The data integration will enable production drilling information logged via Minnovare’s CORE (Client Online Reporting Engine) to seamlessly sync with the LiveMine data management system. The combination of both technologies streamlines the workflow for the drill rig operator, eliminates the potential errors and ensures accuracy at each stage in the clients drilling process, providing the confidence the client needs to make informed decisions on data they can trust.
“We like to partner with businesses such as Minnovare and LiveMine who not only provide industry leading technology, but take into consideration our feedback and the specific needs of our operation. This collaboration will streamline our process and eliminate duplicate information, meaning our team can have confidence to make smarter, faster decisions on data we can trust.” Chris Davidson – Underground Manager at Silverlake Resources

Minnovare CORE is an industry leading software platform that serves as a data hub for clients entire drilling operations. Minnovare CORE is central to Minnovare’s Production Optimiser, a revolutionary drill and blast optimisation system that substantially improves production drilling accuracy and consistency, resulting in less re-work, improved dilution and recovery and an increase in stope turnover in underground mines.
This secure cloud-based platform features digital drill plans and plods that sync seamlessly with existing mine planning software, providing accurate, reliable and real-time drilling data to mine operators. Visibility and accountability are then ensured by displaying the recorded drilled information in the cloud.
Live Mine Managing Director Bud O’Shannessy , stated “This is an exciting collaboration in terms of the value and simplicity it brings to our client’s operations. Minnovare deliver an innovative solution and when coupled with the LiveMine system, it centralises the drilling and operational data and generates a single data source and approval process.

LiveMine operates at over 18 minesites in 3 countries.
ABOUT MINNOVARE
Founded in Perth, Western Australia in 2012, Minnovare is an advanced technology company that specialises in improving the speed, cost and accuracy of underground drilling across mine production, development and resource definition. Our advanced drilling optimisation solutions combine sensors, software and data analytics to address deficiencies in existing drilling processes, materially improving the economics of underground hard rock mining operations.
First launched in 2018, Minnovare’s Production Optimiser system has been proven to significantly reduce blast hole drilling deviation and rig set-up times in underground mines, resulting in numerous flow-on benefits; reduced re-drills, reduced dilution, reduced bridging (improved recovery), and greater all-round visibility and accountability across drill & blast performance. Since its release, the technology has seen rapid uptake within the Australian market. Uptake overseas has followed in North America, Africa and South America.
