One record from the ore pad to the concentrate shipment.
Manage ore receipts, stockpile blocks, crusher and mill shifts, sampling, assays, reagent use, wear parts and concentrate dispatch in one system. Every lot carries its tonnes and its grade from the weighbridge to the buyer’s settlement, so the metallurgist reads recovery from the record and not from a rebuilt spreadsheet. Nothing is retyped. Plant supervisors enter shift data on a phone or a control-room screen.
- Circuits, sample points and stockpile blocks named as your plant runs them
- Open stockpile balances and current assay history loaded
- Edits to circuits and balance formulae handled by our staff when asked
Plants that crush, grind and concentrate ore keep feed, shifts, samples and shipments in one system built around the circuits you operate. Each lot carries weighbridge tonnes, assays, reagent use and the concentrate that leaves. Recovery and mass balance are read by shift and by lot. Liner hours and buyer settlement sit on that same record too.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Ore receipt
A truck crosses the weighbridge. The clerk records the source pit, the haul ticket and the block, and the grade controller assigns a stockpile position. The load is counted once.
- 2
Blend and feed
The blend plan names which blocks the loader draws from. Feed tonnes entering the crusher are recorded and subtracted from the stockpile balances.
- 3
Shift operation
Operators log throughput, grind size, dosing, tank levels and any stop with its reason for each circuit.
- 4
Sampling and assay
Samplers cut composites from feed, concentrate and tailings. Each carries a number, goes to the laboratory and returns as an assay attached to its lot.
- 5
Balance
Tonnes and assays combine into recovery and mass balance for the shift. Differences beyond the limits your metallurgist sets are flagged. Review follows.
- 6
Dispatch and settlement
Concentrate is weighed out, sampled and shipped as a lot with its certificate. The buyer’s assay and any umpire result are filed against it.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Every composite gets a number at the sampler, keeps its cut time and point, and stays linked to the feed, concentrate or tailings lot it describes.
- Quality Control
Assays for feed, concentrate and tailings are entered against the lot, and results outside the grade limits you set are held for review.
- Production Planning
The blend plan draws set tonnes from named stockpile blocks to hit a target feed grade, and the balances reduce as the loader feeds the crusher.
- Work Order Management
Work orders for liner, screen deck and pump part changes are raised when the running hours of a mill or conveyor approach the planned limit.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Collectors, frothers, lime and grinding media are received and issued by circuit, and a low balance raises an alert before a dosing pump runs dry.
- Goods Receipt (GRN)
Each truck load is checked against its haul ticket, and gross, tare and net weights are kept on the receipt that feeds the stockpile.
- Invoice Management
Provisional and final invoices are raised from the agreed weight and assay of a concentrate lot, with the tax setting for the buyer’s country applied.
- Dashboards and KPIs
Recovery, mass balance and feed grade for the last shift, day and month are shown on one screen, with variances above your limit highlighted.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For plant managers
Read feed, recovery, concentrate produced and stock held by shift and by month, with cost per tonne milled beside them. Dispatch and commercial staff settle each shipment from the assay on file.
For metallurgists
Review mass balance, flag variances and compare blends against recovery without rebuilding sheets. Nothing is rekeyed.
For shift supervisors and operators
Log throughput, dosing and stops from a phone or a control-room screen, and see sample requests waiting.
For laboratory staff
Receive numbered samples, enter assays and release results against the lot they belong to. Queues are visible.
For maintenance planners
See mill and pump hours, due liner changes and open work orders, and plan stops with the metallurgist.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Feed tonnes and grade by stockpile block and blend
- Recovery and mass balance by shift, day and lot
- Assays awaited and assays released, by sample point
- Reagent and grinding media use per tonne milled, by circuit
- Mill and pump running hours against the next liner change
- Concentrate stock and shipments by lot, with moisture and weights
- Buyer and umpire assay differences by shipment
Who this is built for.
- Plants that crush and grind ore from their own mines
- Toll processors that treat ore for several mine owners
- Flotation concentrators for base metals
- Leach and carbon plants for gold
- Industrial mineral processors that wash, screen and grade sand, barite or similar product
When it is not the right choice.
- An open pit mine whose main job is drilling, blasting and hauling will find Mining Company Management Software closer.
- A plant that only washes and screens aggregate by the lorry load can run on weighbridge software alone.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Does the software run the plant or control the mills?
No. It records what operators and instruments report. Control of the mills stays with your control system, and a historian export can be loaded for reference.
Can it handle both flotation and leach circuits?
Yes. Circuits are named stage by stage, so a flotation bank, a leach tank train and a carbon circuit each keep their own shift log and sample points.
How is recovery calculated?
From the feed, concentrate and tailings tonnes with their assays, using the formulae your metallurgist supplies. They are tested against one closed month before they are trusted.
Can a sample be traced back to a stockpile block?
Yes. A feed composite carries the blend that was running when it was cut, so a low assay can be followed to the blocks that fed it.
What about toll processing for several mine owners?
Each owner’s ore is kept as a separate lot from receipt to shipment, with its own assays, losses and charges, so one owner’s balance never mixes with another’s.
Can the laboratory work from its own instrument files?
Yes, where the instrument or its software can export a results file. The layout is checked at set-up, and anything unreadable is keyed in by the analyst.
How are liners and pumps tracked?
Each mill, screen and pump holds its running hours and the date of its last liner or deck change. Work orders are raised when the planned hours approach.
Is the buyer’s assay kept?
Yes. The buyer’s result and any umpire assay sit beside your own on the shipment, with the difference shown, so settlement is argued from papers on file.
Who owns the records?
You do. The file layout for lots, assays and shipments is agreed in writing at quotation, so the whole archive can walk out of the door with you.
What does it cost?
Price follows circuits, sites, users and the laboratory and weighbridge links you want. You watch a working demo on sample lots first, and only then receive a figure in writing.
