Model complexity.
Strengthen judgement.
blueprint is a proprietary mining intelligence platform, designed to support complex decisions across the planning and operational lifecycle. It enables rapid scenario modelling across infrastructure, equipment, technology and life of mine planning, allowing users to test options, compare outcomes and understand risk before committing capital or implementing change.
Used by mining organisations globally, it strengthens the rigour and speed of analysis, providing an ongoing capability to support planning, optimisation and continuous improvement.
Powered by 
, we have deep experience working in mine operations across commodities, studies, business transformation and business planning.
blueprint enhances expertise. It does not replace it.
Proven Outcomes
Achieved through integrated optimisation of mining rate, cut-off grade and processing assumptions.
Identified through battery-electric transition modelling.
While improving project economics.
Connected across the
entire value chain.
For decades the mine value chain has been split across desktop tools that don't talk to each other.
blueprint stitches the chain back together.
One block model. One plan. One reconciled NPV. One audit trail.
True optimisation. Blueprint evaluates continuous variables to find exact optimum solutions rather than rough approximations.
Days, not months. Traditional trade-off studies can take weeks or months. Blueprint's integrated model allows teams to evaluate and compare scenarios in days.
One integrated model. Mine planning, techno-economic analysis and spatial reality connected in one environment. Every scenario reflects the full system response.
Built by operators. Developed by leaders in mine automation, modernisation and technology strategy across 15 countries and 9 commodities.
Mining decisions don't happen in isolation.
The big decisions in mining are interconnected. blueprint brings planning, economics and operational reality together in one environment, ensuring every decision is evaluated in the context of the whole system.
Model cross-asset value and capital allocation in a single view.
Test new methods and technology against whole-of-value-chain impact.
Model energy, carbon and water alongside the economics, not after them.
Surface hidden constraints and improvement opportunities within existing operations.
Create one integrated, defensible source of truth across the business.
Evaluate acquisitions and divestments fully before you commit.
Focused modules, one model.
Each of blueprint's modules targets a specific decision, and every one runs on the same integrated value-chain model underneath.
Sensitivity testing for optimal design parameters.
- Range parameters. Vary assumptions, constraints and design settings.
- Compare outcomes. Assess NPV, schedule and material movement impacts.
- Find robust settings. Separate strong signals from fragile optima.
Pit electrification and charging infrastructure planning.
- Compare options. Diesel, grid, microgrid and staged transitions.
- Locate chargers. Place infrastructure where it supports the plan.
- Test capacity. Check whether the network supports demand over time.
Infrastructure location optimisation across the mine.
- Map constraints. Use terrain, access, exclusions and mine geometry.
- Optimise location. Balance haulage, capital and operating cost.
- Compare layouts. Test infrastructure options against the plan.
Change the assumption, see the impact.
Every decision has consequences. blueprint allows teams to explore multiple operating scenarios, compare outcomes and understand trade-offs before implementation begins.
