BENEFITS OF LAND MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR MINING

Mining companies must be constantly vigilant about maintaining the complex obligations they have on land-related assets, such as mineral rights, and their respective lease agreements, while simultaneously ensuring regulatory compliance. The risk of failing to do so is clear; it can seriously damage a company’s reputation and bottom line. That’s why so many firms turn to Trimble’s enterprise business process solutions for land and mineral rights management.

Protection against loss of property or mineral interests Protect your company against loss associated with missing requirements or obligations; avoid losing future revenues, access to land/mineral resources, or even property and other investments.

Global oversight and reporting on land-related assets Inconsistent, incomplete and unreliable inventory of tenure, land, agreements and associated obligations can result in missed deadlines or uninformed decisions. View and generate reports on your land-related assets, including mineral and surface assets, and their respective agreements and obligations.  Accurate analysis and reporting of ownership interests in both developed and undeveloped areas is also critical to long range forecasting and planning.

Ensured compliance with legislative and regulatory acts Risk of missing a date of an obligation, such as tenure, surface rights, agreements, mining claims or permits, can result in reputational and bottom line harm. Have peace of mind that all legal and compliance obligations are followed through on on-time and are completed correctly.

Ensured compliance with partner or customer obligations Manage conditions pertaining to commercial sales and operational leases and contracts to meet legal obligations and ensure that rentals and royalties are correct, and paid on time. Maintain the accuracy of your data and ensure land-related obligations are always met and on time.

Standardized business processes across the organization Standardized processes ensure process conformity and help to increase organizational efficiency, eliminate waste, and improve corporate governance. Reduce costs by using one system to keep track, record, and report on mineral rights and land assets. Simultaneously eliminate costs associated with organizational waste.

Enterprise integration Eliminate duplicated systems in silos and seamlessly integrate your land management system with other mission critical systems to ensure efficient workflows and up-to-date information.
