Feast, Bill ... [et al.]
Spatial Dimension and its international partner, Swedish Geological AB have a focus on the management of international mineral sector reform projects. A significant component of these projects is the design, development and implementation of Computerised Mining Cadastre Information Systems The result is the FlexiCadastre range of products. FlexiCadastre uses a rules and workflowcentric approach to facilitate the efficient administration of mineral title in multiple jurisdictions. Using a web portal for data management and reporting, advanced task management, configurable business logic, best of breed GIS technologies and innovative concepts, FlexiCadastre has, from its African roots, become a world leader in mining cadastre management systems. To date FlexiCadastre has been utilised by the Governments of Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia, while numerous others are considering implementing the solution. The Corporate version of FlexiCadastre is currently being used by Placer Dome though-out their global operations, while a number of other exploration and mining companies are considering implementing FlexiCadastre to provide their operations with efficient and integrated land management tools. This presentation will address current best practise in Mining Cadastre management, current web based GIS technology as well as issues with implementations within the African context and lessons learnt.
