Williams Lake B.C.  - Jan 12/05

Data Mining: Williams Lake IT company continues to provide software development services for Gibraltar's Big Dig. 

O-Netrix Solutions Inc. has been working over the past few months to develop a totally integrated mine management and reporting system for Taseko Mine's Gibraltar Mine operation. 

"Our goal has been to work closely with Gibraltar's management team and develop a total integrated mine management solution based on the very successful business practices of Gibraltar Mine's more than thirty year history in the mining industry" says Raymond Kelly, Director of Development for O-Netrix. 

"Gibraltar's definitely got it right; its' continued success proves that.  Over that past few years we have provided a variety of information technology support services to Gibraltar and now with the resumption of mining operations we are creating the most innovative software solution for any mining operation that will combine warehouse and maintenance management, financial and production reporting into a single database application.", adds Kelly 

"This really shows Gibraltar's commitment to support local business; all to often we tend to neglect the technical expertise right in our own back yards; especially in the IT area.  Gibraltar is definitely the exception." Says Kelly 

"We have created an excellent software development team right here in Williams Lake, I think it's great that we can use both the computer science graduates and students in the respective co-op programs and a number of locally skilled developers right here in Williams Lake.  The future of software development looks pretty good for our community with the potential for more mining in BC."
