Data compilations are an important function for many exploration and mining companies wanting to digitally capture valuable information located in old files. Maxwell GeoServices has developed a data capture process that ensures data accuracy, quick turnaround time and affordability. Whether you want to digitally capture data from historic reports and assay certificates, or simply have a “room” full of paper documents you need organised and converted into electronic format, our dedicated staff can get the job done. Our data capture process is administered by experienced geological database administrators, with fast and efficient data entry personnel focused on cost effectiveness.

As every data capture project is unique, and each company has different goals and objectives, it is not practical to take a 'cookie-cutter' approach to data capture. At Maxwell, we review the data and expected outcomes, and compile a data compilation process that is customised to suit the client. That way we can give a reasonable cost and delivery time estimate.
When Maxwell is hired, we will develop a data compilation plan for your specific data entry project and reporting requirements. Our approach to data capture, and the technologies we use, enables us to deliver digital data at the highest levels of data quality and turnaround. With data capture there are many companies capable of providing accurate data, quickly, and at a reasonable price. What distinguishes Maxwell is our use of geologists, an understanding of the exploration and mining business, as well as our responsiveness, flexibility, and ability to create a solution to solve a client’s requirements.
At Maxwell, we use a customised data entry template to key in the required data from the historic documents. Data entry operator’s workstations are connected to Maxwell’s server, and the data is captured in a compliant database structure. Libraries are inbuilt into the template at the setup stage, and throughout the data capture process. This will allow for effective validation and auditing of the data.
Maxwell provides data entry outsourcing services from printed, scanned and handwritten sources. Based on a client’s specific needs and requirements, data compilations may include, but is not limited to:
- Mine production data
- Geological data and metadata from historical logs
- Assay data and metadata
- Geophysical data
- Tenement information
Our data compilation system, from client enquiry through to project design and implementation is designed to deliver on quality for each and every aspect of any project. Our clients expect timely and accurate feedback, expert advice, and our attention to quality data capture will add value.
In the project design, we are able to structure our staffing and work flow to accommodate a variety of turnaround scenarios. Depending on client’s requirements, we can transmit completed work to you daily, weekly or as required.
Maxwell will capture the data in its data model (MDM). From here the data can be delivered as raw data in CSV or xls format, in a custom database, or in the MDM. Maxwell can also provide an index of all forms and documents processed, so that they can be viewed/retrieved if needed in just a few seconds at your computer.
Maxwell can carry out a full audit of the captured data that will give clients a snap shot of the quality of the data. For clients that have existing databases, we can utilize sophisticated matching tools to make sure the data we send you is not already in your existing database.
Maxwell can also carry out field validation of data compilation. Our field experienced staff, with their knowledge of data compilation methodology can deliver a superior product.
