For Mining & Exploration Companies

For mining & exploration companies
Defensible truth about your own ground, from target to point of sale

Measure your site, prove your grade, protect your loads and sell with evidence buyers accept. One registry, one map, one audit trail across every layer.

LoderaIQ gives operators and explorers an independent, continuously updated picture of their own assets: exploration targets ranked from satellite and drone data, pit and stockpile volumes measured against a dated baseline, field-portable XRF grade measurement for defensible grade, and a tamper-resistant chain of custody that follows every load from mine to export port. It is not another compliance obligation looking over your shoulder. It is operational intelligence you control, built so the same evidence that keeps you demonstrably inside your licence is also what makes your resource financeable and your production sellable. The platform is live and in operation on a national mining programme, with the aerial drone-survey layer rolling out next.

Live in operation

Operating today on a national programme

The trust signals that matter before you commit a single site.

In operation

Live on a national mining programme

LoderaIQ is running today across a national mining programme, operating infrastructure, not a pilot-stage concept. The workflows described here are in daily use.

Rolling out

Aerial survey rolling out next

The drone-based aerial discovery and survey layer, with AI geological interpretation, is rolling out to extend satellite coverage with high-resolution ground truth.

The problem you’re up against

You are asked to prove things you can’t yet measure

The gap between what happens on your site and what you can defend on paper costs you money, time and access to capital.

Stockpile and pit volumes are estimated between infrequent survey visits, so inventory and production numbers drift from reality and are hard to defend when a buyer, financier or regulator challenges them. Grade is reported from lab results that take days to return, leaving grade-control decisions running blind at the face. Ore leaks between mine, warehouse and port through re-weighing, substitution and disputed tonnages that you absorb as loss. And every interaction with regulators and financiers becomes a scramble to assemble evidence you did not capture as it happened, proving you stayed inside your licence, that your resource is real, that your production is genuinely yours. The result is slower permitting, disputed sales, weaker financing terms and value quietly leaking out of a site you actually control.

Inventory you can’t defend

Volumes estimated between survey crews drift from the truth, and you have no dated, independent record to stand behind them when it is questioned.

Grade decisions made blind

Waiting days for lab assays means grade control at the face runs on assumption, not measurement, and buyers discount what you can’t evidence.

Ore that leaks in transit

Without weight capture and tagged custody, tonnage disputes and losses between mine and port come straight off your margin.

Legitimacy you keep re-proving

Every permit, audit and financing round means reassembling evidence you never captured in the first place, slowing everything down.

The shift

From periodic spot-checks and self-reported figures to continuous, independent, auditable truth

The old model measures your site occasionally, reports grade after the fact and asks everyone downstream to trust self-reported figures. LoderaIQ replaces that with a continuous, independent and auditable record: satellites and drones watch the ground on a repeating cadence, AI measures change between dated captures, XRF gives you defensible assay in the field, and every load is tagged and weighed into one chain of custody. Because all of it reconciles on a single spatial registry and a single audit trail, the evidence is created as the work happens, not reconstructed later. For an operator that is a strategic advantage, not a burden: the same continuous truth that satisfies a regulator is the truth that lets a financier underwrite you and a buyer pay full value for defensible grade and tonnage.

Orbit to point of sale, on your site

One connected workflow, from target to settlement

The six pillars are not disconnected features. They are one continuous chain following your ore down the value chain. Each stage summarises how it works; the depth lives on the Platform pillar pages.

1

Exploration, find and rank targets

Satellite and drone imagery interpreted by AI highlights surface mineralogical, alteration and structural indicators to prioritise where to send ground crews. These are exploration targets for follow-up, anomalies worth drilling, not a defined resource, and they are framed to support, not replace, competent-person work under JORC/NI 43-101-style codes.

2

Site & production monitoring, measure against a baseline

Pit expansion, active machinery, excavation and stockpiles are tracked over time against a dated baseline. Pit and stockpile volumes are derived by photogrammetry and DEM-differencing between dated captures, giving you inventory and production movement you can measure without waiting for a survey crew on site.

3

Grade control, defensible assay in the field

Field-portable XRF gives fast, defensible elemental readings at the face and on stockpiles, so grade-control decisions are made on measurement rather than assumption. Satellite and drone spectral data indicate surface mineralogy; XRF plus physical sampling is what turns indication into grade and tonnage a buyer or financier will accept.

4

Compliance & ESG, stay demonstrably legitimate

Observed activity is checked automatically against your licence geometry, and land disturbance, excavation and site change are monitored against permit conditions. The output is a clean, dated, auditable record that proves good-actor status on demand, turning compliance from a recurring scramble into a standing asset.

5

Ore tracking, protect every load

Via Postagy for Mining, every truck and load is tracked mine to warehouse to export port with weight capture, QR/RFID tags and digital trip approvals. That tamper-resistant custody chain protects your own product against leakage, substitution and disputed tonnages, and it becomes the provenance record buyers and lenders rely on.

6

Marketplace & revenue, sell with evidence, settle faster

Auto-generated export permits and a defensible production record close the loop to sale, giving you a route to buyers and cleaner settlement. Because grade, tonnage and custody are already evidenced end to end, you negotiate from proof rather than assertion, and value that used to leak between mine and port stays with you.

What matters to an operator

The capabilities that change how you run a site

Precise, defensible, and credible to the people who plan mines and read core.

Continuous site monitoring against a dated baseline

Track pit expansion, machinery movement, excavation and stockpile change over time against a fixed, dated reference. You get a defensible record of what changed and when, the basis for inventory reconciliation, production reporting and dispute resolution, without repeated survey mobilisations.

AI volumetrics and change detection

Pit volume and stockpile size are measured from imagery by photogrammetry and DEM-differencing, and change is detected between dated captures. Measure stockpiles without a survey crew on site, and reconcile inventory against what your fleet and plant say is moving.

Field-portable XRF for defensible grade

Get fast elemental assay at the face and on stockpiles for grade control that stands up. Outputs support, they do not replace, competent-person / QP sign-off, but they give your geologists defensible, same-day numbers to work grade against reference materials and QAQC.

Aerial discovery & survey

Drone plus satellite survey with AI geological interpretation ranks exploration targets and plans ground follow-up, cheaper and faster than blanket programmes. Explicitly target generation, not resource definition. Rolling out next.

Chain of custody via Postagy for Mining

Weight capture, QR/RFID tagging and digital trip approvals follow every load mine to warehouse to port. This is loss, theft and dispute protection for your own tonnage, and a provenance trail you can hand to buyers, lenders and regulators intact.

One registry, one map, one audit trail

Satellite, drone, AI, XRF and RFID all reconcile on a single spatial registry and shared baselines. No more stitching together drone data, lab results and logistics records from separate silos, the layers agree because they share one coordinate reference and one audit trail.

Compliance and capital, reframed

Turn evidence into access, to permits, to buyers, to finance

The same record that keeps you legitimate is what makes your asset financeable and your ore sellable.

Compliance as protection, not policing

Automated licence-boundary checks and ESG monitoring let you prove you operated inside your permit as a matter of record, and export permits generate from evidence rather than paperwork. You spend less time proving legitimacy and more time operating.

A resource you can finance

XRF-verified grade and tonnage plus a defensible, dated audit trail turn self-reported figures into resource data that financiers can underwrite and insurers can price. This is the bridge between what you dig and the capital behind it.

Production you can sell

Defensible volumetrics and an intact chain of custody give buyers and offtakers provenance they accept, so your production is export-ready and disputes over tonnage and origin shrink.

Reporting financiers and regulators trust

Hand over auditable production and ESG evidence drawn from one tamper-evident trail, rather than assembling it under pressure. Clean provenance protects your social licence and strengthens your financing terms.

Defensible ESG evidence

Monitor land disturbance, excavation and site change against permit conditions with dated, independent imagery. Demonstrable environmental performance protects social licence and unlocks ESG-constrained capital.

For the technical reader

Honest about what each layer can and can’t tell you

Precise, not hypey, the distinctions your geologists and engineers will insist on.

We are deliberately explicit about method and limits, because credibility with mine planners and geologists depends on it. Satellite and drone spectral data yield surface mineralogical, alteration and vegetation indication, useful for ranking where to look, but not an assay; defensible grade comes from XRF plus physical sampling under proper QAQC. Pit and stockpile volumes are derived by photogrammetry and DEM-differencing against a dated baseline, with accuracy dependent on capture resolution, cadence and the quality of that baseline. An AI-identified exploration target is an anomaly for follow-up, not a proven resource or reserve, the platform is decision-support that feeds competent-person / QP work under JORC and NI 43-101-style codes, and we keep the distinction between target, resource and reserve explicit throughout. That honesty is the point: evidence framed accurately is evidence that stands up in an audit, a sale or a financing.

Spectral ≠ assay

Imagery indicates surface mineralogy and alteration; XRF and physical sampling establish defensible grade and tonnage.

Target ≠ resource

AI ranks exploration targets for ground follow-up. Resource and reserve definition remains competent-person / QP work, which the platform supports.

Measured, with caveats stated

Volumetrics come from photogrammetry / DEM-differencing against a dated baseline, with accuracy tied to capture cadence and resolution, stated, not hidden.
