Mining asset strategy. Then detailed plan.

Bergbau builds software for mining teams: standalone tools for the people deciding what to build, and agents that operate the packages your geologists and engineers already use. Everything runs on your own data, in your own environment.

What should we build, and when?

Model the whole asset from whatever data you have, then compare every way it could be developed on the same basis.

Asset to decision
1
Asset in
Block models where you have them. Reports, public data or dataroom contents where you do not
2
Inventories built
First pass pit optimisations and mineable underground inventories
3
Region mapped
Ore sources, plants, product specs, infrastructure, targets
4
Pathways generated
Development, consolidation, divestment and study options

Capital, deferral, cost of delay, water, access, power, permitting

Which pathway, what it costs, and what it opens next
Handed to planning
The chosen scenario passes to the tactical tools
the hinge
Standalone software, and usable before a technical team is engaged.

Standalone tools for the capital decision

No dependency on any third-party package. Built for asset and provincial strategy work, and for early stage due diligence, including before a technical team is engaged.

Asset Pathways
capital decisions
01

Models the whole mine from whatever data you have, then builds and compares the ways it could be developed.

Block models in, or text and report data where there are none
First pass open pit optimisations and mineable underground inventories
Ore sources, plants, product specifications and infrastructure in one model
Water, access, power, permitting and capital screened together
Exploration and acquisition targets tested as options
Development, consolidation, divestment and study pathways
Value Chain Optimiser
mine to market
02

Balances the chain against what the mine plan actually delivers, period by period.

Cut off grades varied by period
Plant throughput and recovery trade offs
Logistics and routing options
Product specifications and offtake terms
Bottlenecks across the chain
Value maximised against each period of the plan

No constraint was relaxed to return this answer. If a case is infeasible we say which constraint binds, and we do not produce a number.

Four tasks moving through the same day instead of one. One engineer cannot multi-task, but one engineer can run several agents at once.

It uses what you already have

Your licence, your version, your files. No new platform to buy and no second source of truth.

Nothing leaves your network

It runs on your machine, against your data, inside your environment.

Built by mine planners

Twenty years underground and open pit, not a software vendor's guess at the work.

One handoff, not a re-model

The strategy and the schedule sit on the same numbers, so nobody rebuilds the case to plan it.
