DigiGeoData - MIckey

Mickey Thompson

Mineral Deposit Specialist

Mickey is a geologist with over 50 years experience in the global exploration and mining industry, including the last 25 years spent creating, populating and overseeing data completeness and quality on various corporate and commercial mine and deposit databases. He holds an MSc in Mineral Exploration from Imperial College London after gaining his BSc Honours from Queens University Belfast

At DigiGeoData, Mickey is responsible for data research, completeness and quality ( including analyst training ), especially for reserves, production, geology, mineralisation, locations and mine operational aspects

Mickey started his career with 30 years at Western Mining Corporation ( WMC ) in Australia ( now part of BHP ), accumulating exploration and mining experience across virtually every significant commodity, with extensive underground and open pit experience as well as in-depth exposure to mining and treatment concepts and ore reserve compilation. Mickey worked extensively with Queens University Ontario in a joint study of the mineral economics of global mineral exploration and has co-authored several books on the valuation of the Australian exploration and mining industry. He has also spoken at many conferences, trained teachers and analysts, and has worked in over 20 countries, evaluating mines, deposits, companies and countries.

After setting up WMC’s global deposit database, Mickey helped to set up the Intierra database in Perth in 2002, which quickly became the world’s leading such database, based on the pillars of analyst training and data excellence. In this position Mickey developed his relationship with Glen Jones and all other members of the present DigiGeoData technical team. He was the lead researcher for Intierra’s renowned series of global ‘Mines and Mineral Deposits’ maps. This led to similar positions within SNL and S&P , wherein Mickey transformed databases based on rigorous QC and the implementation of industry accepted data characteristics. His last position was with InfoMine Canada

Mickey’s passion extends from data accuracy and quality to data clarity and conceptual data relationships, which will allow DigiGeoData to excel in the critically important aspects of linking exploration and mining data to geological and ore characteristics, thus providing clients with data aspects not present in other commercial databases

DigiGeoData - Angie Photo
Angie Malinovski
Data Processing Manager

Angie Malinovski is a Data Processing Manager at DigiGeoData Ltd, a leading mining resource intelligence data solution.

Angie started her career more than twenty-five years ago at what was then know as Robertson Geo Data Inc. and later became InfoMine Inc.

In those early days of Internet development as a commercial environment, researching, storing, and delivering data was an exciting and ever evolving process with an ultimate goal of servicing clients needs more efficiently.

Always taking an active part in company’s business development, Angie quickly rose from the entry level position to being a part of the team that built InfoMine into one of the recognized platforms that provided mining related information.

Such environment provided opportunity to advance skills beyond data research and curation. Understanding database structure as well as its contents down to the minute detail Angie assisted in both back and front-end development. Whether it was to improve search interface, implement various document feeds, or to come up with new modules, provide specifications, and assist in their development, she was always looking for ways to contribute to the growth of the company.

For the major part of her employment with InfoMine (later changed to Mining Intelligence) Angie also led a team of geological analysts. It was a gratifying role to mentor and inspire members of that team to achieve their professional best.

After twenty-three years of diligent contribution, Angie parted ways with Mining Intelligence in 2020.

Having established excellent working relationship with Glen Jones while he was a Managing Director of Mining Intelligence Angie was thrilled to join DigiGeoData Ltd in 2022.

Becoming a part of such a well-established team is a welcome opportunity to assist in building content and functionality and provide service to all industry segments.
