SPEAKER 2: Stephanie PHILLIPS
Presentation Topic: The Geology Applications in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
Presentation Abstract: GEOVIA is developing solutions to help users discover and model the surface and sub-surface geological environments. These solution de-risk mining and civil projects by utilizing all available geoscientific data to create unified, robust geo-models at all stages of mine or project development leading to better investment decisions, predictable operations, and improved profitability.
Presenter Profile:
Stephanie Phillips has more than 10 years of experience working for GEOVIA on various projects from early exploration to final production stage. She specializes in geological modeling and resource evaluation with focus on geostatistical analysis. Stephanie has been involved in several large-scale grade control implementations, establishing consistent best practices at client sites.
SPEAKER 3: Chawki JREIGE
Presentation Topic: Mine Operations Management
Presentation Abstract: Many mines use a number of ad-hoc and often disconnected methods – usually a mixture of paper, spreadsheets and specialized program – to record mine production. These methods might include simple Excel spreadsheets. Some of these methods – used by geologists, mine planners, engineers, lab scientists, financial planners, etc. in many different parts of the mining process – require users to take data from one system (paper log sheets, for example) and manually enter it into another system, or to extract Excel data and email it to a co-worker who asked for it so that other employee can then paste the data into yet another spreadsheet system, before it then (maybe) gets stored in a shared network folder or emailed on. This is slow and it encourages mistakes. It also makes it difficult for mine management to know about, react to and correct production issues in a timely way.
Presenter Profile:
Chawki Jreige has 28 years of experience in the mining industry involving the domains of mine planning, tactical scheduling, workflow automation, software training, and solutions development & implementation. He has travelled extensively providing professional services to clients around the world. Chawki brings with him much experience in the application of Geology & Mine Planning software in operating mines, exploration, and consulting.
SPEAKER 3: Matt BLATTMAN | HECLA MINING
Presentation Topic: Effecting Change in a Mature Mining Operation by Leveraging GEOVIA Service Teams
Presentation Abstract: This session, featuring Hecla Mining, presents the key learnings gained when an operating mine successfully implemented new modelling software (from GEMS to Surpac) and workflows while minimizing operational disruptions. By leveraging the software knowledge of GEOVIA team members with Hecla’s geologic and mining background, the project delivered the stated objectives and uncovered new value. Featuring products: GEOVIA GEMS, GEOVIA Surpac, CATIA
Presenter Profile:
Matt BLATTMAN is the Director - Technical Services at Hecla Mining’s corporate team, based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and has been using GEOVIA products for more than 25 years, including Surpac, MineSched and Whittle. Matt holds a B.S. in mining engineering from the Mackay School of Mines at the University of Nevada, Reno, is registered professional engineer and is a 25-year member of SME.
Prior to joining Hecla, he worked for Dassault Systèmes as the Director of Technical Services in the GEOVIA Center of Excellence for the Americas. Before working with GEOVIA, he was the Managing Director for Blattman Brothers Consulting, a small mining consultancy and 3D printing provider, based in Houston, Texas. When he founded Blattman Brothers in 2010, he was the senior engineer for Northland Resources, working to open several green- and brownfield IOCG operations in northern Sweden and Finland. Previously, Blattman worked for Cemex USA as a corporate mining manager, with Mine Development Associates as a senior mining engineer and as an engineer at Hecla’s Rosebud mine.
