Hi everyone, and welcome to the latest edition of the LiveMine newsletter.
It’s been another big quarter for the business, with plenty happening across our products, our team and the wider industry.
The biggest milestone was the official launch of EXM Blast at the AusIMM Iron Ore Open Pit Operators Conference in Perth. EXM Blast brings blast planning, loading, explosives tracking, reconciliation and compliance together in one connected digital platform built for Tier 1 open-pit operations.
A huge amount of work has gone into getting the product to this point, and it was great to finally put it in front of the industry. The response at the conference was excellent, with plenty of interest and strong conversations that confirmed we’re solving a real problem on site. I’m extremely proud of what the team has delivered, but the launch is only the beginning.
We’ve also welcomed Liam and Arthur to the LiveMine team.
Liam has joined us as Business Development Manager for Open Pit, bringing more than 10 years of mining, resources and commercial experience to the business. Arthur has joined us as Product Manager and will work closely with our clients and development teams as we continue to grow the LiveMine product range. They have both fitted in well, and I’m looking forward to seeing the impact they make.
Miner V Wild is also building towards another big year. During August 2026, a group of 9 dedicated mining execs will embark on a unique fundraiser to help support mental health in WA, raising funds for Youth Focus and showcasing the positive contribution the mining industry makes to the communities we operate in.
Across the wider business, implementations continue to move ahead, our existing products continue to develop and the opportunities in front of us continue to grow. We set ourselves some ambitious goals for 2026, and this quarter has been another strong step forward.
Thanks again to our clients, supporters, the mining industry and, of course, the LiveMine team. There is plenty more ahead, and we’re just getting started.
Stay safe,
Bud O’Shannessy
Founder and Managing Director
