Software for major asset decisions. Agents for planning and geology work.

Asset Pathways and the Value Chain Optimiser compare every way an asset could be developed. Planning and Geology Agents do the technical work inside the package your team already runs. Your data, your machines, your licence.

What should we build, and when?

Model the whole asset from whatever data you have, then compare every way it could be developed on the same basis.

Standalone tools for the capital decision

No dependency on any third-party package. Built for asset and provincial strategy work, and for early stage due diligence, including before a technical team is engaged.

Asset Pathways
capital decisions  ·  FROM US$50K / ASSET
01

Models the whole mine from whatever data you have, then builds and compares the ways it could be developed.

Block models in, or text and report data where there are none
First pass open pit optimisations and mineable underground inventories
Ore sources, plants, product specifications and infrastructure in one model
Water, access, power, permitting and capital screened together
Exploration and acquisition targets tested as options
Development, consolidation, divestment and study pathways
Value Chain Optimiser
mine to market  ·  FROM US$50K / ASSET
02

Balances the chain against what the mine plan actually delivers, period by period.

Cut off grades varied by period
Plant throughput and recovery trade offs
Logistics and routing options
Product specifications and offtake terms
Bottlenecks across the chain
Value maximised against each period of the plan

No constraint was relaxed to return this answer. If a case is infeasible we say which constraint binds, and we do not produce a number.

Block model editing and interrogation
Filters, views, legends and reports
Data analysis and trade off studies
Geology Agent
modelling and resource  ·  FROM US$1,000 / USER / MONTH
02

Data validation and QAQC
Compositing and statistics
Domaining and wireframe modelling
Grade estimation and validation
Classification and reporting
Reconciliation and exports to planning

Move the crusher to 6L, re-create the solids and sequence, then rebuild the LOM schedule off the new design and the dilution factors in the attached sheet. Re-level it, and update TKM so everything from 3L down goes to the crusher and everything above is trucked to surface.

Your licence. Your files. Your templates and standards. The agent does the clicking. Your mine data never leaves the machine
Geology, same idea > Composite the 9280 drilling to 2 m, flag the outliers and list top cut candidates. > Rebuild the domain wireframes on the updated logging and report volumes by zone.
You stay in control nothing happens that you cannot check or undo

Dry run first

Every change is previewed and checked before anything runs.

Your file is never overwritten

A checkpoint is saved before it writes, and edits go to a new file. The original is left alone.

Every edit is logged and reversible

You get the before and after to check, and anything it did can be undone in the order it happened.

Run it against your own files, on your own licence. Request access

It uses what you already have

Your licence, your version, your files. No new platform to buy and no second source of truth.

Your mine data stays on your network

It runs on your machine, against your data, inside your environment.

Built by mine planners

Twenty years underground and open pit, not a software vendor's guess at the work.

One handoff, not a re-model

The strategy and the schedule sit on the same numbers, so nobody rebuilds the case to plan it.
