December 2008 Spatial Dimension, together with partners Swedish Geological and Sunshine Projects, has completed the design work for Uganda's new Geological and Mineral Information System (GMIS).

"We are thrilled that the Department of Geological Survey and Mines (DGSM) has approved the GMIS Design Report and we are now planning for the immediate start of the implementation phase of the project," said Bill Feast, Managing Director of Spatial Dimension.

The GMIS design is based on industry leading technologies such as ESRI's ArcGIS Server, Geosoft's DAP Server and the open source DotNetNuke content management system.

The project, funded by the World Bank, is part of the Sustainable Management of Mineral Resources Project within the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, Uganda.
