The Operating
System for Mining Operations.

Real-time $/ton cost intelligence across every mine, every cost centre, every shift. Replace 5-day Excel month-close with a 2-day automated close — and an immutable audit trail that satisfies any board.

The Industry Problem

Mining finance
runs on broken
spreadsheets.

Every month, across hundreds of mines in Africa, Australia and South America, finance teams spend 3–5 days consolidating Excel files sent by email — with no audit trail, no real-time visibility, and no accountability when the numbers are wrong.

"We close our books 8 days after month-end. By then, half the decisions have already been made on old numbers — and no one is accountable for the errors."
— CFO, Major South African Gold Producer (confidential)
💸
R2.8 million lost per mine, per year To manual consolidation, delayed decisions, undetected cost blowouts, and management time consumed by data-chasing.
🔓
Zero audit trail in Excel Any cell can change without record. No "who changed what and when" — making every monthly report a trust exercise, not a verified record.
18 months minimum for ERP — at R5M+ SAP and Oracle are completely inaccessible for mid-tier mining houses operating 5–15 mines. The market has been left with nothing.
The Old Way — Every Month
⚠ Broken Process
1
Mine managers email Excel files
Each mine uses a different template. Files arrive over 3–5 days. Version conflicts are common.
No version control. Files overwrite each other.
2
Finance team manually consolidates
Copy-paste from 8–12 different spreadsheets into a master file. Takes 2–3 days. Error rate is high.
Any formula break goes undetected.
3
Numbers are questioned, re-sent
CFO asks questions. Finance chases mine managers for clarifications. Another 2 days lost.
No audit trail. Anyone can change anything.
4
Board report produced — 8 days late
Decisions get made on data that is already 2 weeks old. The board is flying blind.
Cost blowouts discovered too late to act.

Immutable Audit Trail
Field-level diffs on every change. Who changed it. What it was. What it became. PostgreSQL with pgaudit — tamper-evident by design. Any board or auditor can trace every number to its source. Export for external audit.

Task Accountability
Variance alerts automatically create tasks assigned to named individuals with deadlines. Escalation fires when deadlines breach. Comment threads with @mentions. Every variance has an owner — and an answer.

Month Close Workflow
A structured 5-step pipeline: Entry → Review → Submit → Approve → Lock. Completeness gate prevents submission with missing data. Finance sign-off PDF generated automatically. Period lock makes history immutable.

What the industry
is looking forward to.

★★★★★
"A shift from a 5-day month-close nightmare to signing off on day 2. The audit trail alone will be worth the subscription giving our auditors a high level of traceability."
MK
Finance Director
Mid-tier Gold Mining House · Johannesburg
★★★★★
"The mobile app will completely change how our underground shift supervisors operate. They will be able to enter data at the face, it syncs when they surface, and the cost accountant has it before the shift ends."

General Manager — Mining
Copper Operation · Zambia
★★★★★
"We are paying R4.2M a year for an ERP consultant to maintain a system that still needs Excel to close the month. MineOps will cost us R540k a year and does more. The decision is quite obvious in hindsight."

Our Story

Built by mining professionals.
For mining.

MineOps was founded by a mining finance professional and an enterprise SaaS architect who watched an Anglo American mine spend three days every month wrestling Excel files — and decided to fix it. Not adapt a generic ERP. Fix it.

Every workflow in the platform was designed from the inside — from the mine-level cost accountant entering data underground, to the Group CFO presenting to the board. We know the problem because we lived it.
