CLICK TO WATCH : ‘ VRIFY SCHOOL OF MINING PROMOTION : LESSON 1 ’ 67 recently put out a drill hole that was a 260m step out from the closest hole and it was over 100m , but it ’ s not until you see it in 3D and you can see legitimately there isn ’ t a single historic hole within 500m that you understand we truly are into a new area .”
VRify can drive partnerships across the sector believes de Jong , who asserts what the company are doing is essentially building a platform to house what could be the largest database of information that ’ s ever been compiled in the mining sector . “ Our platform is not just driven by the companies on it , there ’ s also a user component to it . If we create an ecosystem where you have mining companies and users – primarily investors but also community stakeholders , environmental groups , regulators etc – then your business , be it a consulting group or investment bank , can interact with the industry to find a verified partnership within that ecosystem . We ’ re supremely focused on primarily building that ecosystem . The first step to doing that is getting as many companies adopting the platform as possible .”
