Inc. ("Gemcom"), a global provider of mine production management solutions,
announced today that it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire
Australia's, Perth-based, Surpac Minex Group Pty Ltd. ("Surpac Minex") for
consideration of up to CDN$13,500,000 and up to 13,500,000 common shares of
Gemcom. The acquisition, which is anticipated to close in July 2006, is expected
to be funded through a combination of Gemcom's existing cash resources and a new
equity financing by Gemcom. The acquisition is subject to due diligence by
Gemcom, negotiation of a definitive acquisition agreement, completion of the
necessary financing, regulatory approvals, approval by the Gemcom and Surpac
Minex boards, approval (if required) by the Gemcom shareholders, approval by
Surpac Minex shareholders, and other customary conditions. For more information about the Gemcom and Surpac/Minex software packages, visit the Gemcom Web site at www.gemcomsoftware.com and the Surpac/Minex Web site at http://www.surpac.com/ . (May 23, 2006)Golden Software Announces Voxler® - The New Way to Visualize Your 3D Data! Golden Software has released Voxler, a new 3D data
visualization software program. Voxler takes raw complex 3D data and models it
in a rich, interactive, and visual environment. Data is displayed in a variety
of 3D images, including volume rendering, isosurfaces, contours, three
dimensional slices, orthographic and oblique images, scatter plots, stream
lines, and vector plots. Every effort has been made to design the user-interface
so it is intuitive and easy-to-use, even for the novice user. Flexsim Flexsim is a discrete-event simulator. It models and simulates processes that can be defined by a flow of material, process times, capacities, and variation in the flow of product and time. A simulation helps engineers and managers make decisions that result in producing more products at lower cost, and to gain a greater insight into the system being studied A simulation model of any mining, manufacturing, material handling, or logistics system or process can be created using Flexsim's drag and drop model building objects. An example of a mining application is to determine the capacity of a mine's production system. The software will allow you to balance labor and equipment requirements. You will be able to manage bottlenecks, solve excessive work-in-process problems, justify capital expenditures, establish proper inventory levels, improve order picking systems, and optimize production rates. Ideas for improving a process can be simulated, tested, and justified prior to implementing them in the actual system. The results of each simulation can be analyzed graphically through 3D animation, and through statistical reports and graphs, which are both excellent for communicating a model's purpose and results to technical and non-technical audiences. A free demo is available on the Web site.

A typical exploration enterprise has hundreds of data and information repositories, each containing valuable data and applications. Because this information is, at best, only partially interconnected, companies waste valuable time, money and effort in finding, connecting, using and sharing their own data. They risk missing important business opportunities while they seek data, and also risk basing important decisions on incomplete information, and/or duplicating or losing past work. Geosoft’s Enterprise Solutions Group draws upon Geosoft’s 20 years of data lifecycle expertise and experience in handling and managing large volume exploration data to bring together the right technology, services and people to address these concerns. The EDM solutions they deliver provide companies with a core business advantage by enabling efficient access and management of their entire data lifecycle, allowing companies to quickly secure, catalogue, access and use their vast quantities of data, regardless of their format, size or location. “Geosoft’s EDM solution works intuitively and seamlessly, and is a cost-effective means of connecting the people in an organization with all of their data and applications,” said Troy Wilson, Geosoft’s Director of Enterprise Business and Vice-President of Marketing. “Our approach has always been one of ongoing partnership, so we work closely with our customers at all stages of their EDM initiative to ensure that their solution simplifies how they can access their data and supports global, best-practice deployment.” Geosoft EDM solutions use Geosoft middleware technology to connect all of a company’s data repositories to common, corporate interfaces by acting as an integration layer between data stored on a company’s server and end user applications. The middleware removes barriers created by competing and incompatible standards, promotes standardization and interoperability, and simplifies how companies find, use and manage their exploration data. It also provides a platform to build business rules or processes that can support corporate standards for data types and metadata Geosoft’s EDM solutions have been implemented in global, multi-site enterprise deployments for industry leaders that include CVRD, Rio Tinto, Teck Cominco, Dundee Precious Metals and many others. Geosoft’s Enterprise Solutions Group and its partners are dedicated to ensuring that these customers, and companies like them, maximize the value of their enterprise data assets, and existing IT investment, by providing a one-stop resource for technology, professional services and training; and the ability to create a customized EDM solution based on the organization’s technical and business objectives. Established in 1986, this year marks Geosoft’s
20th anniversary as a leading software solutions company for the geosciences
industry. Geosoft ranks among the top 100 software companies in Canada,
providing software and services in over 100 countries around the world. The
company’s solutions support efficient access and productive use of earth data
for business decision-making across many geoscience market sectors, including
mining exploration, oil and gas, government, education, environmental and UXO
(Unexploded Ordnance). Geosoft’s corporate headquarters in Toronto, Canada are
supported by operations in Africa, Australia, Europe and Latin America.
