How It Works

From pad averages to decisions you can act on

Three steps stand between you and the variability you can't currently see.

 
01

Block-level stockpile modelling

Block-level stockpile modelling replaces crude pad averages — so you know the true grade, tonnage, and blend of what you actually have, not a blunt guess.

02

Real-time tracking of grade, hardness & penalty elements

Continuous tracking of grade, hardness, and penalty elements (As, S, Hg, clay) flags problematic ore before it contaminates a blend or deranges the circuit.

03

Recommendations before ore hits the crusher

The platform recommends re-handling, blending, and routing decisions in time to act — before ore reaches the crusher, not after the damage shows up in the mill.

Case Studies

Real operations. Real numbers.

The same variability you're carrying today was costing these sites — until it was measured and managed.

FAQ

The question on every GM's desk

Almost always — and the payback math is straightforward. One avoided misdump event or a single quarter of recovered ore typically exceeds the entire annual software cost. Most sites recover their investment inside a few months, not years. Use the calculator above to see your own payback period.

Most operations are live in 4–8 weeks. We ingest your existing assay, dispatch, and stockpile data — no new sensors required to start, though integrating real-time sensors accelerates the value curve.

No. NTWIST sits alongside your existing stack (Datamine, Surpac, Mira, etc.) and consumes the data they already produce. It adds the stockpile-level variability layer those systems were never built to model.

The block-level modelling approach is commodity-agnostic — we have deployments across gold, nickel (HPAL), copper, and polymetallic circuits. Penalty-element and hardness tracking adapt to whatever your circuit is sensitive to.
