Gold Candle Ltd., a Canadian exploration company, has significantly accelerated its decision-making, improved team collaboration, and brought new levels of efficiency to its geological workflows. Working across a complex legacy site, the company achieved smoother daily operations, better data accessibility, and more consistent stakeholder engagement - empowering its teams to move faster and more confidently at every stage of the exploration lifecycle.

These improvements were made possible through the integration of Micromine Origin, the company’s trusted geological modeling and estimation software, with Micromine Nexus’ cloud-based data management and collaboration tools. While Micromine Origin enabled Gold Candle to build and manage detailed geological models, Micromine Nexus provided a shared digital workspace - allowing seamless data sharing, version control, and real-time stakeholder engagement across the entire exploration team.

“Micromine Nexus enabled efficient sharing of drillhole progress updates among team members across the country, ensuring timely and informed decision-making,” said Andrey Zagoskin, Exploration Manager, Gold Candle.

 “We’re pleased to see how Gold Candle is using Micromine Origin and Micromine Nexus to bridge the gap between historical mining challenges and modern exploration demands,” said Kiril Alampieski, Product Strategy Manager – Platform, Micromine. “Their story is a powerful example of how cloud-connected solutions can drive smarter, faster decisions in even the most complex geological settings.”

Through this integration, Gold Candle streamlined four critical operational areas:

• Real-Time Drillhole Tracking: Improved drilling accuracy and coordination by instantly sharing daily updates from multiple rigs.
• 3D Reconstruction of Historical Stopes: Enabled collaborative, version-controlled modeling of 8,000+ legacy documents for more accurate underground visuals.
• Standardization of Geological Outputs: Delivered consistent, high-quality maps and reports using shared templates stored and accessed via Micromine Nexus.
• Improved Stakeholder Communication: Streamlined access to 3D models for non-technical users via the browser-based Micromine Nexus Viewer functionality, speeding up reviews.

“With Micromine Nexus, updates are now available with the click of a button, providing stakeholders with instant access to the latest project information,” Zagoskin added.

By embracing Micromine’s integrated solutions, Gold Candle has strengthened its decision-making, increased operational agility, and positioned itself for continued success in the Abitibi gold belt. The case underscores the value of cloud-connected tools in modern exploration and mining.
