◈ Mining

Model the orebody.
Watch the operation.
Spend less doing it.

Resource companies run some of the heaviest computation in industry — block models, seismic interpretation, simulation — alongside a constant stream of telemetry from sites and fleets. Compute provides the same machines as the leading cloud for less, billed by the second, so a large model run costs what it ran.

Used by exploration start-ups, mid-tier producers and Fortune 500 resource groups for modelling, monitoring and reporting.

What holds true here

Four things you stop arguing about

◆

Heavy compute, lighter bill

GPU instances 30% under the leading cloud on-demand for the same GPU, CPU instances 30% under the leading cloud’s cheapest matching instance.

◇

Runs, not reservations

A model iteration that takes eleven hours is billed for eleven hours, to the second. Nothing waits on a reserved block.

◈

Telemetry that lands somewhere useful

Sensor and fleet data queued and stored alongside the databases and dashboards that read it.

○

A record of every change

Monitoring and reporting systems keep a full history, so a figure in a disclosure can be traced to its source.

The shift

Modelling capacity that is not rationed

When compute is expensive, geologists queue and planners run fewer scenarios. The answer to a question gets shaped by what the cluster can spare. Lower prices and per-second billing change which questions are worth asking.

The usual arrangement
  • ✕Model runs queued behind a fixed cluster
  • ✕Reserved instances bought against an uncertain study
  • ✕Site telemetry on a different platform from reporting
  • ✕Scenarios limited by budget rather than judgement
  • ✕Disclosure figures reconstructed at period end
What replaces it
  • ✓Capacity started for the run and released after
  • ✓No term to commit to before a study is approved
  • ✓Telemetry, databases and dashboards on one platform
  • ✓More scenarios for the same spend
  • ✓Figures traceable from the record kept at the time
What you can count on

Mining, specifically

More scenarios for the same budget

Mine plans improve when planners can test more options. When each run is cheaper and billed only for the time it takes, a study that once afforded a handful of scenarios can afford many more. That holds for a junior explorer with one project and for a major with a global portfolio.

Seismic on GPUs

Processing and interpretation on H100 and A100 instances, priced under the leading cloud on-demand.

Monitoring that keeps a record

Environmental and tailings data in CosmoBase, with a complete history of what changed.

Site apps from git

Safety, permit and shift tools deployed on Panel, built from repositories on CodeGraph.

One bill, many sites

Usage itemised by service and by project rather than spread across vendors.

Questions we are actually asked

Answers without the hedging

How do the prices compare with the leading cloud?+

For the same GPU or the same CPU specification, 30% under the leading cloud’s published on-demand price, shown beside ours. The same applies to managed database hours. Storage and bandwidth are priced separately.

Can we run multi-day model jobs?+

Yes. Machines run as long as the job needs and bill by the second. There is no minimum term and no reservation to buy first.

Where is our data held?+

Where data lives is something you configure and we hold to. If you have a specific residency requirement, tell us and we will confirm plainly whether we meet it.

Do we have to move everything at once?+

No. Most start with a single modelling workload, compare the bill, and move further from there.

Other industries

Where else this goes

AI Agents

Run agents, the tools they call and the models behind them on one platform, billed by the token and the second, for less than the same work costs on the leading cloud.

Customer Acquisition

Host the landing pages, attribution pipelines and onboarding flows that bring customers in, and spend less on the infrastructure than you would on the leading cloud.

Marketing

Run campaign sites, personalisation, content pipelines and marketing data on one platform that costs less than the leading cloud for the same machines and models.

Lead Generation

Run the forms, enrichment jobs, scoring models and routing that turn interest into leads, for less than the same infrastructure costs on the leading cloud.

Sales

Run CRMs, sales data, call analysis and AI assistants on one platform, priced under the leading cloud for the same machines, databases and models.

Creator Economy

Host creator platforms, media processing, storefronts and AI tools on infrastructure that bills by the second and costs less than the leading cloud for the same machines.

Start where it matters most

Begin with one workload. Keep what you have running. Decide whether to continue once you have seen it carry something real.

No migration required to begin. Nothing to tear down if you stop.
