The company produced the software package to support better quality of information in the mining industry and to make exploration software more available to smaller mining and exploration companies, it said.
XODB supports emerging standards like AusIMM’s “CoalLog” and will help small to medium sized exploration and mining companies manage their valuable data better.
“XODB provides much of the functionality available in the existing software on the market without the hefty price tag,” the company said in a statement.
XODB has the ability to synchronise information between geologists in the field or between servers using Microsoft’s Azure cloud.
It can also store detailed exploration data including drilling, QAQC and geophysics data.
The software package can store geological models and can help with compliance and can add value in providing detailed reporting and analysis.
“XODB is unique because it is free and open to contributors from all areas of the industry,” the company said.
“Everyone in the industry can benefit from its development. Xstract welcomes contributions from clients, peers and the rest of the mining community.
“Xstract plans that XODB will support insight into all areas of the mining value chain and all stages of mine developments in future releases.”
