as just one method to keep in contact with our valued clients within the mining
industry. Through these newsletters we plan keep you informed on the various ways
in which Tomahee delivers a tangible "cut above the rest" service offering.
Through these regular circulations you will be informed about the latest in our approaches,
methodologies and often groundbreaking application of technology that we bundle

experts, are available to you as the client to leverage improvement and efficiencies
of your processes and systems at a corporate and operational level of your business.
Tomahee is a dynamic and fast growing company with extensive experience in the mining
industry, its processes and related information technology landscape. Tomahee
is not only recognised in the industry as subject matter expert consultants but has a proven track record of securing business benefits for their clients through the
unique implementation approach and methodologies adopted for the mining industry.
In essence we strive towards optimisation through
excellence. To complement our consulting services we provide a results-driven
project and program management support service to achieve the desired end-state

Tomahee in Australia
Tomahee is well underway to establish its business model of service offerings in the
Australian mining industry. Over recent months we have been hard at work creating a
presence within Australia. This included the formal establishing of Tomahee (Australia)
as an extension of our company "down under". Strategic discussions with specific role
players in the mining space around our consulting services in the Australian market, are
picking up substantial momentum.
"The professional and efficient manner in which we deliver
tangible results combined with our approach and methodologies around our wheel of core mining
services, strongly appeals to those with whom we have been engaged with in discussions" says Wally.

Matching your FMS needs to best technology
Fleet management systems (FMS) provide a tracking monitoring, managing and controlling
functionality with respect to large (major) mobile equipment within the mining environment.
These systems that consist of onboard hardware such as hubs (ruggedized-computers)
and touch screen panels for driver to control room data transfer, provides business
critical operational information about the equipment to relevant role players at
the mine. These systems are mainly utilised for surface mining operations. Since
Global Positioning Tracking (GPS) is an integral part of tracking the position
of this equipment, these systems are also used in the underground environment using
a different tracking technology.
Typical business critical information monitored by FMS on a "real time" basis includes the availability,
utilisation and efficiencies of the expensive mobile equipment as well as the tracking
of the quantity and quality of the material moved from source to destination.
The challenge within the mining industry today is to ensure that FMS,
which already require quite a substantial capital investment to the operation, actually
provide the specific functionality required by the operations. It is in this area
that Tomahee, backed by our skills and operational knowledge of the mining business and
related systems, plays an optimising role on behalf of its clients.
Anyone who has manually handled hardcopy mine plans, blueprints and drawings will
know how unwieldy they are to store, reference and update. Converting hardcopy plans
to a digital format that can then be accessed, using CAD systems, is a specialised
and time-consuming process and few mining companies have the in-house resources
to make the conversion. Tomahee fills this gap by offering an end-to-end scanning,
vectorisation and elevation mapping solution for mine plans.
