About the Company

MineSense

Real-time ore grade data at shovel

MineSense provides real-time ore grade and material characteristics at the extraction face by installing ShovelSense hardware on existing mining equipment, paired with software that analyzes data from each shovel bucket. It works by scanning each bucket and using proprietary algorithms to produce actionable insights that help with routing, blending, and campaign decisions, effectively connecting pit-grade data to concentrator-grade decisions. Unlike many providers that offer post-hoc analytics, MineSense delivers at-face, real-time data integrated into the mining workflow, supported by both hardware and software plus services. The company's goal is to help mining operators optimize operations, reduce ore losses and waste dilution, and increase profits and sustainability.
