Run unlimited strategic, long-term and medium-term plans on one model

Buy a credit, upload a block model, and run as many strategic, long-term and medium-term scenarios as your study needs, for 3 or 12 months of access. Compute is included, so a solve costs nothing extra. Export straight into your existing tools.

Our customer, an ASX-listed mining company, saw a plan on its own block model before it bought a credit.

If you purchase at beta price, the same is held for you for a year after launch.

GST is added to your invoice. All prices in AUD.

Credits are valid 12 months from purchase. The access-period clock on each credit starts when you upload a block model, not when you buy. Each credit is bound to one unique block model file: upload a different file, including a revised version of the same model, and it is a new block model on a new credit.

This offer is currently limited to Australia. If you are outside Australia, contact us for a quote.

Credits, access periods, fair use and the money back guarantee are set out in full in our Terms of Service.

What a credit includes

One credit, one block model, unlimited runs

You bring
  • •A block model as CSV, in whatever format your tools export (Vulcan, Surpac, Datamine, Deswik and Micromine all work), or OMF v2. Large models are reblocked automatically before the solve.
  • •Waste dump geometry, capacities and any expansion sequence constraints. Dump slopes default to 17 degrees, so bring them only where yours differ.
  • •Your scenario assumptions: prices, unit cost rates, plant capacities, fleet parameters, planning horizons, geotechnical factors, including wall slopes per pit, or per block where they vary
  • •Your ore stream definitions, with recovery fractions and cutoff grades per stream
  • •Optionally, pit shells and an existing phase design. If you do not have phases, Cognomine proposes indicative ones.
  • •Optionally, an existing dig schedule or your own haulage route strings
You get back
  • •A block-level long-term schedule
  • •A 3D visual playback of the plan
  • •NPV and cashflow reporting per scenario
  • •Fleet sizing and haulage plan
  • •Detailed schedule tables
  • •Month-by-month schedule visualisations
  • •Digger territories and walk order, shown per period
  • •Generated haulage routes, downloadable
  • •Constraint compliance diagnostics for every run
  • •Side-by-side scenario comparison in the browser
  • •Exports into Spry and spreadsheets, available until your credit expires
On every credit
  • •Unlimited runs and scenario variants for your full access period from upload, under fair use
  • •Compute included
  • •High Fidelity runs included, at no additional charge
  • •Purchase another 3- or 12-month credit before expiry if you need more time
  • •Share results read-only with unlimited people, including your clients
  • •Full run access on the model for up to 2 additional authorised users, so three of you work on it together
  • •Anyone you share with does not need to buy anything

FAQ

Questions we get asked

When does the access period start?

On upload, not purchase.

How long do I have to use a credit after purchase?

Credits are valid for 12 months from purchase. Once you upload a block model, the 3- or 12-month access period starts, depending on what you purchased. If you do not upload within 12 months, the credit expires unused.

What counts as one block model?

Each credit is bound to one unique block model file for the life of that credit. Upload a different file, including a revised version of the same model, and it is a new block model on a new credit. Run unlimited scenarios on the model you uploaded: the credit covers variations in assumptions, not variations of the file. If you are unsure whether your model is ready, test the workflow on the demo first. Model revision cycles differ between firms. If you are not sure how yours maps to credits, book a call and we will work it through against your actual study.

What if my model is very large?

Cognomine reblocks automatically before the solve, so the size of your raw model does not set solve time and the constraint set is not trimmed. Raw block models up to around one million blocks are accepted, and every model is reduced to scheduling units before solving: under 100,000 in a standard run, up to 500,000 in High Fidelity, which is included in every credit and takes around an hour against under ten minutes for a standard run. If yours is larger than that, or sub-blocked at scale, tell us what you need and we will attempt it.

How reblocking works →

What happens at expiry?

You are notified 15 days, 7 days, and 1 day before expiry. You can export everything before the access period ends. A 3- or 12-month renewal can be purchased before expiry. Results are removed within 30 days after expiry, as a privacy protection.

Can I extend a credit after expiry?

No. Once a credit expires it cannot be extended, and customer data is removed within 30 days after expiry, as a privacy protection. To keep access, buy a 3- or 12-month renewal before expiry.

Will my beta price change at launch?

Buy a credit or bundle at the beta price and your organisation keeps that price for a year after launch. Until 12 months after the launch date, you can renew access on a credit you hold, or buy new credits or bundles of the same type and access length, at the price you paid. Enterprise bundles are priced by quote and are not included. Launch pricing starts with at least 15 days' notice.

Can I upload a client's block model?

That is the core use case. Client data stays in Australia, is encrypted in transit and at rest, is logically isolated to your account, and is removed within 30 days after your entitlement ends.

Security and data handling →

Can my whole team use a bundle?

Yes. A 5-credit bundle can be activated by up to 2 colleagues in addition to the buyer, so three people in total can activate credits from the shared pool. They must be personnel of your organisation or, if you are a consultancy, people working for you on the relevant client engagement. Access is not restricted to a single email domain. Each activated credit still binds to one block model under the standard rules.

Can colleagues or clients see my results?

Yes, and this applies to every credit, single or bundle. Each block model can be shared per-model: read-only with unlimited people, which suits client handover, or full run access with up to 2 additional authorised users, so three people working on that model in total. Those users must be personnel of your organisation or, if you are a consultancy, people working for you on that client engagement. Bundle activation is a separate thing: it decides who can spend credits from the pool, not who can see a result.

What does fair use mean?

Run as many scenarios as your study needs. There is no run quota on a credit. Fair use exists to stop automated bulk-run farming and attempts to work around the one-model-per-credit rule. It will never get in the way of genuine planning work. Platform safeguards such as concurrent-run limits apply equally to everyone.

What is the demo?

A click-through of Cognomine on a pre-solved synthetic block model. Book a call and we will walk you through it on a scenario close to your own.

See the demo →

What if I need more than 5 credits, or need API access?

Email sales@hyphos.net or book a call and we will put together an enterprise package for your volume. API access is handled the same way.

Do you invoice?

Yes. We invoice against a quotation. Card payment at checkout is coming. Email sales@hyphos.net or book a call for a quote.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Your organisation's first purchase of a credit or bundle comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee, running from payment or, where we activate the credit before payment under a quotation, from activation, whichever comes first. A bundle counts as a single purchase. The guarantee does not apply to later purchases. It sits alongside your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Is Cognomine available outside Australia?

This offer is currently limited to Australia. If you are outside Australia, contact us at sales@hyphos.net for a quote.
