MICL (Datamine International) Details
This company was founded in 1981 by Stephen Henley and Peter Stokes to develop and market an integrated system of geological and mining software. The system was named DATAMINE. The initial version, largely based on the British Geological Survey G-EXEC geological data handling system, was released in 1983. By 1993 the company had grown to 30 staff worldwide, and its success was recognised by Queen's Awards for Export in 1989 and Technological Achievement in 1990. In 1991-2, serious stresses became apparent due mainly to attempts by the minority owned Australian associate company to take control of the group's software development. A merger with the Australian company failed to resolve the problems, leading to a boardroom coup, with chairman Stephen Henley and marketing director Ron Dougill forced to leave the company in 1993. With the exit of Stephen Henley, the principal architect of the DATAMINE system, and others who also had detailed knowledge of the system, little further development took place on the main DATAMINE system or on the database management code underpinning it. Development of GUI applications ('GUIDE') started in 1990-1 and evolved into the 'Studio' product which replaced the original DATAMINE system in about 1995, but built on the same core functionality. In 2011 the company was acquired by Canadian company CAE, who have progressively replaced the 'Datamine' branding by 'CAE Mining'. However, the Datamine trademark is still owned by CAE, and they have announced in August 2014 that the 'Datamine' brand is to be revived, and that the Datamine business is available for sale.
