"The management and employees of Karjeni will join Mincom as part of the Intelligent Mining Solutions division to ensure further development of the solution," he said.

Mincom vice president Dave Stevenson said Karjeni's solutions will be added as modules to its existing metallurgical accounting solution, acquired from mining technology vender JKTech late last year.

Karjeni managing director John Jessop said the deal is a positive step for its clients as it will enable better product support.

The value of the acquisition was not disclosed.
