The Program

Four connected engagements

Stratalis has delivered Mine of the Future programs in four connected stages, from saving a single challenged property to setting the technology vision for an entire global portfolio.

Each stage builds on the last: a site-level technology vision that proves what's possible, a portfolio-level program that applies it everywhere, domain roadmaps that go deeper into specific technical areas, and deep mining innovation that opens routes to value sitting below the reach of conventional methods.

Stage 01, Strategy
Setting a Technology Vision to Save a Site
Identified $1B+ of potential value at a challenged mine facing immediate closure. Site remained in the portfolio for a decade.
Stage 02, Innovation
Portfolio-Wide Mine of the Future Program
Set the first real vision of what was possible for the underground assets of a Global Top 5 Diversified Miner using open innovation and techno-economic modeling.
Stage 03, Innovation
Technology Roadmaps Across Technical Domains
Funded roadmaps for tailings, seismicity, slope stability, haulage, automation, and processing, dozens of new projects, each domain with a plan of its own.
Stage 04, Innovation
The Future of Deep Mining
Structured innovation sessions with dozens of the world's leading experts opening new routes to multi-billion dollar value below the reach of conventional mining.
FAQ

Common questions

What is Mine of the Future consulting?

Mine of the Future consulting defines what an underground or surface mine could become with the right technologies and operating model. Stratalis delivers technology vision programs, open innovation facilitation, techno-economic modeling, domain roadmaps, and deep mining innovation sessions, giving mining leaders a sequenced, defensible basis for technology investment.

How does Stratalis approach a Mine of the Future program?

Stratalis uses open innovation, drawing on external parties as readily as internal ones, to define which technologies might change the future of mining. Techno-economic modeling then identifies which drive the most impact rather than simply attracting the most interest. The results set near, mid, and long-term visions of what is possible, with a defensible basis for the choices made.

What value has Stratalis delivered in Mine of the Future programs?

Stratalis identified $1B+ of potential value at a single challenged mine facing closure, enabling the property to remain in the portfolio for a decade before a successful sale. Stratalis also set the first portfolio-wide Mine of the Future vision for a Global Top 5 Diversified Miner, and delivered domain roadmaps that led to dozens of new projects across tailings, seismicity, automation, and processing.
