Seequent Launches Evo: Revolutionizing Geoscience Data Collaboration and Management
Seequent, the Bentley Subsurface Company, has unveiled Seequent Evo, a cloud-based platform designed to centralize geoscience data and enhance collaboration across industries reliant on this data, particularly mining. With the ability to seamlessly integrate data from both Seequent and third-party applications, it empowers geoscientists to make faster and smarter decisions, ultimately boosting efficiency and saving valuable time and resources.
A Comprehensive Solution for Integrated Workflows
Seequent Evo serves as a robust platform for integrated workflows, providing geoscientists with a single, accessible repository for all their geoscience data. By bringing together data from diverse sources, Evo simplifies sharing and ensures that users are working with the most up-to-date information. The platform also provides cross-platform connectivity, unlocking the full potential of geoscience data and enabling teams to generate more meaningful insights and drive more informed decisions.
One of the standout features of Evo is its geospatial search, powered by Cesium, which is also part of it’s parent company, Bentley Systems. This advanced search functionality enhances the user experience, helping to extract valuable insights and provide a more seamless approach to managing geoscience data.
Addressing Industry Challenges in Mining
The timing of the Evo launch could not be more critical, as industries like mining are under increasing pressure to meet the growing global demand for critical minerals. In response to this demand, mining companies are striving to increase operational efficiency, but they are facing challenges, such as the severe shortage of skilled geologists. This shortage makes it more important than ever to optimize the capabilities of geologists and provide them with the tools to work faster and more efficiently.
Evo is designed to meet these challenges head-on. By consolidating geoscience data into a unified platform, Evo simplifies data management, streamlines workflows, and enhances collaboration across subsurface teams. This integrated approach enables mining operations to reduce inefficiencies, optimize resource extraction, and minimize environmental impact.
Empowering Innovation Through Data Consolidation
One of Evo’s key benefits is its potential to drive innovation. By centralizing geoscience data, the platform opens up opportunities for AI and machine learning functionality, custom applications, and integrations. Evo’s open API capabilities allow users to build new solutions on top of the platform, further enhancing its value and expanding its potential use cases.
Additionally, Evo extends the capabilities of evo’s desktop solutions, such as Leapfrog, to harness the power of the cloud. This enables the platform to handle larger datasets and perform complex calculations more efficiently. For example, Evo makes it easier to access advanced tools like conditional simulation for more accurate estimation.

A Vision for the Future of Geoscience
Graham Grant, CEO, explained, “Our vision for Evo is to unite disconnected teams and data, creating an open platform that is also the foundation for new mining innovations. By breaking down silos, Evo unlocks the full potential of underutilized data and empowers organizations to make faster, better-informed decisions. It’s about transforming how geoscientists work and fostering fresh ideas to address current and future challenges.”
Grant emphasized that Seequent Evo represents a long-term commitment to advancing geoscience and that the features available in 2025 are just the beginning. The company looks forward to seeing how users leverage the platform to develop new solutions and drive innovation in their respective fields.
Enhancing Collaboration and Efficiency in Mining
Seequent Evo is already proving to be a valuable tool for mining companies. Winsome Resources, a global lithium explorer with projects in Quebec, Canada, is one of the early adopters of Evo. As part of a limited availability program, the company has seen significant improvements in workflow efficiency.
Holly Zhu, Exploration Geologist at Winsome Resources, shared, “Seequent Evo has streamlined our processes and improved workflow efficiency. Centralizing data in the Seequent cloud reduces data loss and errors, providing access to the latest information. Sharing data across regions keeps everyone aligned.”
Native Applications Powered by Seequent Evo
Seequent has also developed two native applications designed to directly integrate with Evo data and address specific challenges faced by the mining industry:
- BlockSync: This application offers an open, auditable system of record where teams can manage, analyze, and collaborate on block model data from any source. By enabling real-time collaboration, BlockSync ensures that teams are always working with the most current data, enhancing orebody knowledge and improving strategic decision-making. The rapid model updates and real-time resource insights provided by BlockSync can significantly improve mine operations.
- Driver: This cloud-based exploratory data analysis tool uses machine learning to quickly analyze geological deposits and domains, automating the creation of downstream models with minimal manual input. Driver helps geologists to enhance their 3D models automatically while still giving them the flexibility to adjust based on their understanding of the orebody.
Seequent Evo at PDAC 2025
Seequent is set to showcase Seequent Evo at the PDAC Convention, taking place from March 2–5, 2025, in Toronto, Canada. At Booth #829, attendees can connect with industry experts and learn how Evo is transforming the geoscience industry.
In addition, Seequent will host an exclusive keynote event titled The Evolution of Subsurface Intelligence on March 4, 2025, at The Rec Room in Toronto. This event will provide attendees with a deeper understanding of Seequent Evo’s capabilities and the future of geoscience data management.
Conclusion
With its powerful data integration capabilities, cross-platform connectivity, and focus on collaboration, Seequent Evo is set to revolutionize geoscience data management and decision-making. By empowering geoscientists to work more efficiently and collaboratively, Evo promises to be a game-changer for industries such as mining, where access to accurate, up-to-date information is critical. As Seequent continues to expand Evo’s functionality, the platform is poised to drive innovation and unlock new opportunities for geoscience professionals worldwide.
