What is the EMMMV?
The Exploration, Mining, Metals and Mineral Vertical (EMMMV) is
A collaboration between
mineral industrial sectors and
suppliers, under the auspices of
The Open Group
Why was it formed ?
To realise sustainable business value through
a common operating model to allow members to put their
Business-IT investment into areas of differentiation vs. standard
operating procedures and support vendors in the
delivery of technical and business solutions to the industry.

2008 Typical Mining Company Operation
Head Office Mining Assets Labs Consultants Data
2008 Data flow is considerably more
complex than it was in 1978
Copyright © 1983-2005 Datamine Corporate LimitedExecutive Summary Presentation16
What has driven all this interest in Mining?
Commodity Prices – 2003 to 2008
This is why there are over 200 companies active in the EMMMV arena
Copyright © 1983-2005 Datamine Corporate LimitedExecutive Summary Presentation17
What is driving the skills shortage?
Employee Ages - Illustrative
This is why there is great reliance on Mining Consultants – many of whom are past traditional Retirement Age

Other Key observations from EMMMV founders
Industry restructuring with mergers & acquisitions & focus on core business
Industry opening up – leadership coming from new placese.g. Cynthia Carol; Tokyo Sexwale; Ferdie Dieppenaar
Demand far exceeding supply – so makes collaboration easier
Increased legislation, across many countries makes collaboration essential –(anyone tried to read the Sorbannes Oxley Act ?)
Availability and pricing of energy becoming a constraint
Mechanisation and automation becoming a reality – escalating the technological sophistication of the environment.
