Land Acquisition & Compensation Project Commences at a Major Papua New Guinea Mine 

 

Spatial Dimension’s Tyrone Harmsen, Simone Vieira, and Ian Brumfitt recently completed an intensive design workshop in Papua New Guinea to extend the existing Landfolio system to accommodate land acquisition and compensation processes for the mine's operations. 

 

Leveraging Landfolio's flexible data model, this project builds on similar processes managed across the company's other global operations to improve compliance tracking and land management practices.

 

 

An exciting new chapter in Pakistan!

 

Spatial Dimension is thrilled to partner with the Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) in Islamabad to develop Pakistan's new Geodata Portal.

 

Open accessible geoscience data drastically reduces the financial and technical risks of mineral exploration, making it a critical driver for making new discoveries and improving investor confidence in the nation's mineral sector.

 

Check out the GSP’s LinkedIn post for details of the recent Geodata Portal Design Workshop.
