CorePlan

CorePlan is a cloud-based software company that provides digital solutions for mineral exploration teams and drilling contractors to manage their drilling operations. The company's platform offers two main products: Drilling Hub and Exploration Hub. The Drilling Hub allows drilling contractors to digitally collect logs, manage invoicing, and handle payroll. The Exploration Hub enables exploration and mining companies to plan drill programs, track field activities and sample analysis, and manage costs. CorePlan's software replaces traditional paper-based and manual Excel systems with a user-friendly, cost-effective digital solution for collecting and sharing drilling data. The platform connects remote field teams, drill contractors, and head office staff, allowing them to collaborate in a single workspace. As of August 2022, CorePlan had onboarded 50 businesses and nearly 2,000 users since its initial product launch. By November 2023, the company had expanded its customer base to 77 clients across various regions, including Australia, New Zealand, North America, South America, South East Asia, Africa, and Europe. The platform hosted over 400,000 drill holes and recorded more than 10 million meters drilled across both drilling contractors and miners. CorePlan's software aims to improve mining company compliance, eliminate wasteful exploration drilling, and enhance environmental outcomes in the mining industry.
