The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Datamine Studio RM no price, licence type, subscription term or system requirement is published anywhere on the Datamine site; Leica Geosystems Mining the solutions depend on buying Leica measurement hardware and sensors, including LiDAR and airborne laser scanning units, rather than software alone
  • They diverge on capability: Datamine Studio RM covers Resource estimation, Leica Geosystems Mining covers GNSS positioning.
