The Greenstone Mine is situated in the Canadian municipality of Greenstone. The business that started exploration drilling there in 2007 thought there was a chance for another gold mine because there had previously been a few underground mines nearby. Greenstone has progressed from the exploratory stage, which included finishing the environmental study, to the construction stage, which started around the end of the previous year. Since consultants possessed the knowledge to analyse the data, Greenstone had historically relied on them to manage monitoring data.

It became clear that Greenstone Gold also needed to start looking into their own database as the company’s operations continued to develop and the monitoring program’s capabilities grew. Not only did they need a place to store their data, but they also needed a simple means to access it. This was so they could share it with the nearby communities to foster openness and good working relationships.

The technicians at Greenstone Gold Mine were given the capacity to create monitoring schedules with MonitroPro, which reduced their effort by enabling them to plan events even when the parameters were different for each of the sampling points. The technicians can now download the monitoring schedules that were prepared using MonitorPro Field and complete the data entry as needed for each field event. When several groups are dispatched at once, the technicians may also view their progress in MonitorPro Field, which helps them stay on track and keep tabs on what everyone else is doing.

Data from the many disparate sources are available all in one place for analysis, trending, and reporting, using both the default tools in MonitorPro, and bespoke exports and reports. Greenstone Gold has benefited from the variety of reporting templates because it has allowed them to save time and effort while reporting and analysing. Greenstone Gold has also benefited from task reminders because they provide them with concise reminders to track their reporting requirements.

By effectively using MonitorPro, Greenstone Gold are now in a position to manage their environmental data efficiently, effectively and appropriately. Using an innovative data management system that eliminates the need for spreadsheets and manual processes, to streamline both their internal and external data collection processes.
