Genesis Minerals Limited
An established gold producer in Western Australia, Genesis Minerals has a rich history in the mining industry, with origins dating back to the 1987 opening of the Gwalia Mine. Since its formal establishment in 2007, the company has grown significantly through exploration, development, and acquisition of key gold assets.
The Data Challenge
Through several acquisitions, Genesis inherited vast environmental datasets in multiple formats. This created a pressing need to consolidate information and improve the accessibility, quality, and efficiency of its environmental monitoring.
- 446,000+ field and laboratory results
- 21,000+ groundwater level readings
- 320 monitoring locations across 11 mine sites
- 47 scheduled monitoring events (monthly, quarterly, annual, biannual)
- 1,896 unique sample locations monitored annually
The Solution: ESdat Adoption
To address this scale and complexity, Genesis adopted ESdat in October 2023. The system successfully integrated both historical data and the ongoing monitoring schedule into a single, centralized platform. This enabled:
- Powerful long-term trend analysis
- Faster, more consistent reporting
- Stronger decision-making
Streamlined Fieldwork
Fieldwork is now managed through:
- Automated scheduling
- Digital field forms
- Electronic chain-of-custody (eCOC) generation
- Automated lab data imports
These tools ensure consistent, high-quality data collection aligned with complex regulatory requirements.
The Results
- 1,000 hours saved annually
- 725 hours in project management
- 202 hours in fieldwork
- Resources redirected toward higher-value analysis and environmental strategy
“The greatest benefits are the time saved in fieldwork management and enhanced data tracking—knowing which COCs have been submitted for which rounds and receiving notifications for exceedances.”— Environment Team, Genesis Minerals
