Plotlogic
An AI ore-sensing platform that scans rock faces and stockpiles to produce high-resolution ore analysis in minutes
What is this
Plotlogic is an Australian mining-tech company whose core product OreSense is an AI-driven ore-sensing platform. Using sensing technology to scan rock faces and stockpiles, it can produce high-resolution ore analysis within minutes, applicable to open-pit and underground mines.
What problem it solves
Traditional ore-grade interpretation often requires sampling and sending to a lab, and waiting for assay results is time-consuming with limited sampling, easily causing imprecise ore/waste separation and affecting output and quality. OreSense lets mines grasp the composition and grade of the ore body in front of them almost in real time, helping the site make mining, sorting, and blending decisions faster and reducing mis-digging and dilution losses. It suits operations and geology teams at open-pit and underground mines, especially mining companies that want to shift grade control from after-the-fact assay to real-time sensing to improve recovery and efficiency.
Key Features
- AI ore-sensing scanning of rock faces and stockpiles
- Produces high-resolution ore analysis in minutes
- Applicable to open-pit and underground mines
- Helps with real-time grade control
- Supports mining, sorting, and blending decisions
Pros
- Turns time-consuming lab assays into real-time sensing
- Reduces mis-digging and dilution, improving recovery
- Suitable for both open-pit and underground mines
Cons
- A heavy-industry-specialized platform, useless outside mining
- Requires on-site sensing hardware, a higher adoption barrier
Use Cases
- Mine sites reading rock-face ore grade in real time
- Distinguishing ore from waste during stockpile sorting
- Geology teams optimizing blending and recovery with sensing data
Editor's Note
Pulling grade control from after-the-fact assay to on-site real-time is a very real pain point for mining.
FAQ
How fast can OreSense give results?
Per the company, it can produce high-resolution ore analysis within minutes, far faster than traditional assays.
What kind of mines does it apply to?
It applies to both open-pit and underground mines, mainly for mining operations that need grade control.
Can it replace lab assays?
It provides on-site real-time sensing so many decisions don't need to wait for assays, but the specific pairing depends on the mine's needs.
