Datamine
- Datamine publishes no price, no licence term and no named cost driver; the planning pages route buyers to a consultation or a sales contact form
- The portfolio is split into many separate products across strategy, design, scheduling, blasting, survey and production, so a complete workflow requires assembling several licences
- Products acquired from other vendors, including Minemax Scheduler and Minemax Tempo, are now sold inside Datamine bundles rather than standalone
