Innovative Equipment Performance and Production Management System to Provide
Vital Operational Decision-making Information

VANCOUVER, Canada – June 14, 2010 – Gemcom Software International Inc., the
largest global supplier of specialised mining productivity solutions, today
announced that they have signed a Collaboration Agreement with Sandvik
Mining and Construction to develop a system and interface for monitoring
underground mobile mining equipment. The two companies are teaming on an
innovative equipment performance and production tracking solution that will
further improve consolidation and validation of information from mine
operational systems.
Mining companies worldwide select Sandvik service solutions and automation
technologies to help them manage their mining equipment and production. With
growing requirements in the industry for new enabling technologies to drive
greater efficiencies, there is a need for a flexible and well-integrated
system for mining operations management.

Gemcom InSite™ delivers operations management capabilities that complement
planning and scheduling activities, along with a continuous improvement
engine that drives improved recovery, throughput, equipment utilisation, and
performance.

“InSite features innovative technology that monitors in near real time
equipment, events, and tracks production, which enables timely operational
decision making,” stated Rauno Pitkänen, manager of projects, systems and
new offering, Sandvik Mining and Construction. “This industry-leading
technology, when combined with Sandvik’s sophisticated Optimine™
capabilities, will allow mining companies to follow up on their production,
equipment, and personnel performance metrics in a simple and effective
manner. Ultimately, they will be better able to manage and utilise their
capital expenditures, and be able to back up business decisions with hard
data.”

“Sandvik has developed an in-depth understanding of the demands of modern
mining operations and how automation of loading and hauling processes in the
mining cycle can contribute to the improvement of safety and efficiency of
ore transportation,” commented Allen Vaughn, Gemcom executive vice
president. “Sandvik’s desire to provide customers with more in-depth
knowledge on the condition of the equipment for maintenance purposes, as
well as production monitoring to more effectively manage draw and production
control, creates the opportunity to leverage InSite.”

A prototype of the Sandvik Gemcom collaborative solution is in place at the
Sandvik Test Mine in Tampere, Finland. To learn more or see the system in
