We don’t hunt ore. We filter where it’s worth spending.
The surface context that decides whether a block can be developed (legal access, permitting, water, communities, power), ranked with the same engine, on public data.
Three levels. The first two are ours. The third we don’t touch.
Where you are and what surrounds you
Known occurrences, active mining cadastre and geology as regional context. Never prediction.
Access, permitting and portfolio triage
Which fraction of a block is legally inaccessible, and the Top-N of your portfolio, overnight.
Ore grade · targeting · subsurface
No grades, no drill targets, no subsurface. Promising it would be dishonest.
The distinction is positioning, not modesty. The “AI + minerals” players are integrated explorers with proprietary data and none of them sells the multi-country surface filter. That middle gap, a self-serve, cheap, overnight screening with a verdict, is thinly populated. (mining competitive analysis, Jul 2026)
Six concrete jobs for a mining client.
1 · Concession portfolio triage
10 to 30 claims and budget for 3. Which to advance, which to farm out and which to drop.
2 · Tailings (TSF) alternatives · GISTM
The defensible shortlist of tailings sites, the auditable input for the formal study.
3 · Mine corridors
The 3 lowest-friction corridors from mine to node/railhead/port.
4 · Water options + delivery corridor
Candidate water sources ranked by basin stress. Better to know it at screening stage.
5 · Monetize your landbank
Idle parcels ranked for solar+BESS or DC, with inherited interconnection.
6 · Block ESG fatal-flaw
The weighted GO / NO-GO map that avoids the month-18 deal-killer.
Why a miner would call us
Because, as far as we know, nobody else sells this:
The market gap
· Heavy mining software models the subsurface with YOUR data; it doesn’t filter where to look.
· Exploration AI hunts deposits with proprietary data and doesn’t sell software.
· Tenement management handles title compliance, not block attractiveness.
The multi-country surface filter with a verdict, cheap and overnight, is unowned.
And because the mistake costs millions
A denied permit, an over-allocated basin or a misread prior consultation costs more than the entire screening campaign. In that domain, an explicit GREY and never a false green is not a virtue but the specification.
A portfolio to triage, a TSF to site, a dormant landbank?
The vertical spins up on request over the existing engine. The first client defines the country and the commodity. Tell us the case.
