Maptek fully acquires PETRA to enhance mine-to-mill AI tech - Canadian Mining Journal
Summary
Maptek has fully acquired PETRA by increasing its shareholding from 25% to 100%, building on a strategic partnership that began in 2019. PETRA will continue to operate as a standalone business with Dr Penny Stewart remaining as CEO while gaining access to Maptek's global network and corporate support. The companies plan technical integration opportunities—Maptek's new Vestrex platform will enable combined automation and decision support—and PETRA is progressing toward the MAXTA 6.0 release in 2026 with advanced agentic AI. The move aims to combine PETRA's orebody learning, data fusion and machine-learning capabilities with Maptek's mining software portfolio to deliver stronger mine-to-mill optimisation and value for customers.
