• Beyond Big Data: Why Master Data Matters More in Mining

  In this episode of acQuire Connected, we sit down with Jared Armstrong, founder of wHole Solutions, to explore why geoscientists need to shift their focus from "big data" to something far more foundational—master data.Jared shares insights from his recent article “Big Bertha and Beyond: Rethinking Data Strategies for Mining Geoscience,” where he challenges the industry's obsession with big data and makes the case for robust master data management as the true game-changer.We discuss what master data means in a mining and exploration context, the risks of poor data governance, early warning signs of weak data foundations, and how geoscientists can build stronger data strategies from the ground up. Plus, we touch on where AI fits into the picture—and why it’s only as good as the data beneath it.If you want to learn more, Jared is hosting a seminar, "Managing Geological Data - It Matters" in Queensland, Australia, with the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Don't miss out!

• The hidden engine in mining and its ripple effect

  When you think about productivity in mining, you probably picture big machines, efficient teams, and streamlined supply chains. But what about your data?In this episode, host Jaimee Nobbs chats with acQuire’s Steve Mundell and Stuart van de Water about why data management is one of the most underrated drivers of productivity in mining. They dig into how even small improvements in how data is collected, shared, and used can make a big impact on everything from safety and compliance to decision-making and stress levels on site.They also talk about the role company culture plays, how to spot data bottlenecks, and why resilience isn't just about having the right tools, it’s about using them in the right way.If you're heading to IMARC, keep an ear out - Stu will be diving into this topic even further on stage. You can find him on Wednesday, 22 October at the Continental Mining Innovation Theatre from 1:25 - 1:45 PM AEDT presenting, "The Data Ripple and the Law of Unintended Consequences".

• Driving environmental performance in the mining industry through data

  In this episode, we're joined by two great speakers with a wealth of knowledge in the environmental space. Claire Cote is a Director of the Centre for Water in the Minerals Industry at the University of Queensland’s Sustainable Minerals Institute. They're doing world-leading research to develop knowledge-based solutions to meet the global sustainability challenges facing the resource industry. Claire is joined by Stuart van de Water, Environmental Leader at acQuire. In this chat, we cover how to define and measure environmental performance, the challenges and opportunities for companies in the mining and resources sector to report on their environmental impact and, how to position your environmental data as a strategic business asset rather than just a box-ticking exercise. To find out more about the work Claire's team is doing at the University of Queensland, email Claire at [email protected] or visit https://smi.uq.edu.au/
