Just a Beginning
Over 100 countries have committed to cutting harmful emissions by 30% by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Enhancing efficiency in the mining industry is one of the keys to conservation. Explore the forecasts in more detail and find out how various global institutions are fighting for the Earth's future:
Inefficiency in mining – a crucial problem
The mining industry has a major impact on climate change. Furthermore, inefficiencies in mining lead to huge financial losses in the industry:

Total Annual Financial Losses in the Mining Industry
Inaccurate data and erroneous forecasts lead to inefficient field development, which increases the cost of mining operations and causes more damage to nature.
The global nature conservation mission is in Jeopardy.Time to Re-Invent Mining
Demand for nickel, lithium, graphite, and cobalt is growing faster than the supply can be obtained. Furthermore, demand for these minerals, which are required to produce green energy, will increase tenfold over the next 30 years.
The transition to a green economy may fall through because of our current outdated approach to mining. To preserve the planet for future generations, it’s important to find ways to address the mining techniques used around the world.
The key to solving global challenges in nature-conscious mining is to improve data accuracy
Less impact on the environment
Accurate data increases efficiency at all stages of mining, preserves fertile soil, decreases water consumption, and reduces the industry’s overall environmental impact.
Cost Reduction
Accurate data and reliable forecasts increase the efficiency of the mining industry, which, in turn, reduces the financial costs of mining.
Increased scope
A more efficient and cost-effective approach to mining will allow countries to allocate budgets to what really matters: nature conservation, mineral extraction, etc.
Improve mining and exploration efficiency with DOLON
DOLON is a cloud-based geologic ecosystem for the mining industry.
Cloud based
DOLON works from the browser of any device, including mobile devices. Data is available anytime and everywhere.
Ecosystem
Everything you need to explore mining operations can be found in one place. DOLON features a unified database, data exchange with LIMS, resource geology assessment, 3D modeling, and more.
Availability
Advanced technologies and professional tools are available to companies and professionals of any level, including large enterprises and private performers.
DOLON improves efficiency at all stages of the mining process, including data collection, resource estimation, and extraction.
Formerly
Geologic Information
Data is collected in a spreadsheet (Excel or similar) with significant inaccuracies and low data validity (errors can occur 20-30% of the time). Some data is only received after a delay of up to several months.
Resource Appraisal
60-80% accuracy
Modeling
The existing model is complicated, requires extensive knowledge of geostatistics, demands long-running calculations, and is labor-intensive to correct/update. The final results sometimes vary, even with the same calculation parameters.
Planning and design of mining
Inaccurate datasets and complex modeling processes adversely affect exploration and mining efficiency.
Working with data
There is a high impact from the “human factor” as well as the inefficient use of human capital when a highly qualified employee needs to process data manually. Physical access to the device where the information is stored is required, as there is no ability to take full advantage of cloud technology.
With Dolon
Geologic Information
Data is received on the same day and available via any Internet-enabled device. Automatic data-validation with pre-defined triggers reduces errors and increases data validity.
Resource Appraisal
90-95% accuracy
Modeling
Provides predictable and reliable results thanks to a state-of-the-art algorithm based on geological features. Modeling is fast, but doesn’t require massive computing power, and even works on mobile devices.
Planning and design of mining
Accurate data and flexible modeling capabilities allow minerals to be extracted as efficiently as possible.
Working with data
DOLON improves efficiency and simplifies data management via automatic validation, hints, and dedicated remote access.
The roadmap for 2023/2024 includes the release of the AI tool, automatic data processing based on big data analysis, providing API for specialists of any level, and other updates.

RCG
Yulia Spivakova.
GIS Geologist at Resources Capital Group
«Every year we have a different geo-contracting organisation. We familiarise them with Dolon, hold mini-training for about an hour or two, just to demonstrate the basic functions. Because contractors are only responsible for inputting information.»
Vertex Gold Company
Mirzat Usenov
Chief Geologist
«In the past we have worked in different software and performed the functions required for the mine in different ways, we have brought all of this together in Dolon. We can now offload data from Dolon to estimate resources and build composite blocks with minimal risk of error. We can also sort samples and keep quality and quantity control over samples.»
Kazakhmys Corporation LLP
Ludmila Mayevskaya
Ведущий геолог
«After the Dolon implementation, the time for core geological documentation, and especially for building a geological column, has decreased in times. The column is now built up at the same time as core description and sample splitting.»
Recommendations
Team
Beyond offering an innovative IT solution, DOLON also provides a unique team with extensive experience in geology and high social responsibility. Without one year of raising an investment of $500,000, the team has grown from 9 to 21 people, which has allowed the company to solve some of the most complex challenges in the fields of geology, IT, marketing, and business development.
