MineScape 2026: Powered by Digital Twin and AI

BRISBANE, Australia, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Datamine, a trusted leader in mining software solutions, is proud to announce a major evolution of MineScape 2026, one of its leading software solutions. MineScape 2026 brings Digital Twin capability, Rapid design automation, Advanced scheduling, and an AI-enabled assistant into one connected experience expanding the MineScape ecosystem beyond design into an execution-ready mine planning and simulation environment.

MineScape is an integrated mining suite purpose-built for coal and stratigraphic deposits. It combines geological modelling, mine design for both surface and underground operations, tactical and long-range scheduling, and drone surveying within a single platform. By unifying these workflows, it increases productivity, minimizes unplanned work, and enables faster, more accurate decision-making while lowering operational costs.

Digital Twin Operational Intelligence

The Digital Twin establishes a dynamic, continuously updated digital replica of the mining operation, integrating real-time operational data, planning models, and predictive scenarios into a unified decision environment.

By enabling simulation before execution, teams can test strategies, evaluate outcomes, and quantify risk before committing resources in the field. This capability allows operations to anticipate disruptions, optimize plans, and validate decisions in advance. The result is safer operations, improved productivity, reduced operational uncertainty, and stronger confidence in every decision that drives the mine.

AI now Integrated

AI is built directly into MineScape, and it enables natural language interaction and context-aware guidance during a session, allowing users to quickly access knowledge and verify answers through linked source material.

MineScape AI combines four capabilities: a Smart Chat Assistant, File Analyzer, Command Executor, and MPL Expert that can generate, interpret, and explain MineScape Process Logic (MPL) code. These tools accelerate problem solving, improve automation, and help users understand and apply workflows more effectively.

Built-in safeguards detect and block personally identifiable information (PII), and Datamine agreements ensure customer data is never used to train AI models.

Scheduling and Rapid Design

The Tactical Scheduler introduces a powerful optimization solver designed to address complex operational decision problems, while Minemax Scheduler integration enables advanced long-range scheduling directly within MineScape for seamless strategic planning.

On the design side, Rapid Pit, Rapid Ramps, Rapid Dumps, and Rapid Drive dramatically accelerate mine layout development through automated, high-efficiency design tools. These capabilities enable faster, more accurate planning while enforcing geotechnical and operational constraints—ensuring designs to flow directly into downstream scheduling and simulation workflows without rework.

MineScape 2026: Powered by Digital Twin and AI

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AFX, a high-performance sovereign L1 purpose-built for decentralized derivatives, today announced a landmark operational milestone: surpassing $1.1 billion in cumulative trading volume during its initial period of operation. This rapid ascent is supported by over 8.6 million total trades, positioning AFX as one of the fastest-growing decentralized derivatives platforms in the 2026 Web3 landscape.

The most distinctive feature of AFX's growth is its superior capital efficiency. While many decentralized protocols rely on massive Total Value Locked (TVL) to attract volume, AFX has achieved its $1.1 billion milestone with a lean TVL of approximately $23.4 million.This exceptionally high volume-to-TVL ratio underscores the platform's advanced liquidity architecture and its appeal to professional high-frequency traders who demand deep order books and sub-100ms execution without the friction of legacy DeFi systems.

"Reaching $1.1 billion in volume so quickly validates our vision of a high-velocity, community-centric financial infrastructure," said Ken C, Head of Growth at AFX. "AFX is not just another DEX; it is a demonstration of how institutional-grade liquidity can thrive in a fully decentralized, sovereign environment. By allocating 65% of the token supply to the community, we are ensuring that the value generated by this high-performance engine is returned to the builders and traders who power it."

Currently, AFX is in the midst of its Season 1 Rewards program, featuring a 475,000 weekly points pool to incentivize liquidity providers and guild participants. The platform's LP Vaults (ALP) continue to deliver robust performance, offering an approximately 11% APY derived directly from actual protocol fees. As AFX continues to scale its 39 listed markets, including crypto leaders and synthetic TradFi assets, the protocol remains committed to bridging the gap between centralized performance and decentralized sovereignty.

About AFX

AFX is a high-performance sovereign L1 purpose-built for decentralized derivatives. By synthesizing the rapid execution of a centralized exchange with the immutable sovereignty of blockchain, AFX delivers a professional-grade Perp DEX environment characterized by sub-100ms finality, institutional liquidity, and unmatched capital efficiency.

Product availability varies by jurisdiction.
