Artificial Intelligence • Mining • B2B

Stratum AI is reimagining mining with its advanced AI-driven technology that creates more accurate models for mine planning and grade control through Machine Learning. Their innovations enable increased average mined grade by distinguishing between ore and waste more effectively and improving the realized net present value (NPV) of mine plans. Stratum AI's dynamic reconciliation technology tracks ore in real-time, allowing for efficient error correction and enhanced drill targeting, thereby leading to reduced waste and optimized resource extraction.
