Thuthuka Mining Services delivers an enterprise‑grade integration of real‑time rock characterisation, drilling analytics, and blast performance management – enabling Mining 4.0 workflows across large‑scale operations.
Thuthuka Mining Services brings together best‑in‑class technologies into a closed‑loop optimisation engine – delivering actionable intelligence from the first meter of drilling to the last ton of crushed ore.
Through our strategic partnership with Rockma, TMS integrates live MWD data during production drilling – rock strength (MPa), fracture frequency (RQD), water conditions, and ore/waste boundaries – without interrupting the drill cycle.
The system retrofits to any drill rig, providing continuous geological feedback. Data feeds directly into DRIMS and BIMS, enabling dynamic blast design based on actual rock mass properties, not assumptions.
Rockma’s platform has been deployed in large‑scale open‑pit and underground environments across Africa, Europe, and the Americas. TMS acts as the integration and operational partner, tailoring the solution to each client’s mine plan.
Integrated geofencing prevents drilling outside permitted boundaries and alerts operators to unexploded charge hazards – directly supporting safety‑first mining operations.
Capture, visualise and act on every hole – from pattern design to penetration rate benchmarking.
Real‑time capture of penetration rates, bit wear, geology logs and operator activity. No manual entry.
iOS/Android app for pattern updates, hazard reporting, and consumable tracking – synchronised with the central database.
Compare drill rigs, shifts and operators. Identify inefficiencies and improvement opportunities through executive dashboards.
Replace paper PLODS with structured digital data – equipment hours, consumables, audits – available to all stakeholders in real time.
Store, analyse and optimise every blast parameter in a single enterprise platform.
All blast data – pattern geometry, explosive consumption, timing, vibration records and multimedia – stored and version‑controlled for audit‑ready reporting.
Correlate blast outcomes with design parameters. Identify trends in oversize, fly‑rock risk, and energy efficiency.
Benchmark explosive usage, initiate cost per tonne, and compare across benches, crews or time periods.
Exportable, customisable reports for management, metallurgy and planning – fully integrated with Rockma and DRIMS data.
Our integrated drill & blast solution operates in large‑scale open‑pit and underground mines worldwide – supporting tier‑1 operations with measurable results.
High‑volume drill & blast optimisation for iron ore, copper, gold and coal operations.
Precision blasting and ground control in confined, high‑safety conditions.
Africa, Europe, Australia and the Americas – supported by TMS’s 24/7 integration and advisory team.
