Stronger studies behind your capital decisions
Cognomine isn't a tool you'd run yourself. It's a tool for your study team, or the consultants you engage. With it they test more engineering options in full, with the operating constraints held in each plan, and bring you stronger reporting to decide on.
Now in use at an ASX-listed mining company.
Who uses it
If you want to see the results yourself, your team can share them with you read-only.
Runs Cognomine on your block model
Price decks, capital timing, cut-off: each one a practical plan in minutes
Stronger reporting for the board
Your study team.
Your mine planners and study managers load the block model, set the constraints and run the scenarios. Send this to your planning team →
The consultants you engage.
A consultancy runs Cognomine on your model and hands you the scenarios and trade-offs, where today you often get one answer. Working with a consultancy? →
What changes in the study you receive
More options, tested.
Price decks, a delayed capital project, a changed cut-off grade: your team runs each scenario as a practical plan in minutes, with NPV, cashflow, capital and fleet, so more of them reach the study.
Plans closer to what can be mined.
With the operating constraints held in the solve, the plan at the board comes back closer to what a crew can mine. Constraint diagnostics show which limits are holding and where.
Fleet and capital in the comparison.
Cognomine recommends dig order and fleet size alongside the schedule, so equipment capital is part of what your team compares.
Beyond the study.
Your team can re-plan for each reserve and resource restatement on the same setup, or test a seller's case in a transaction against several operating assumptions. Any public disclosure under JORC or an equivalent code stays with the competent person who makes it.
Proof
On one benchmark scenario, against Google OR-Tools
On a ten-year strategic plan with the same orebody, constraints and assumptions, Cognomine returned $273M more discounted NPV than Google OR-Tools, on $149.5M less equipment capital. Cognomine returned its plan in minutes; OR-Tools was stopped unconverged at 12 hours.
Many planners we've spoken with told us they have never seen another tool handle this many constraints and still return a plan this quickly.

What it costs
Predictable cost for budgeting.
- Priced per study and published, so it goes into the study budget as a fixed line item before the study starts
- No annual licence to procure, no per-seat pricing, no per-run charges
- One credit covers one block model file; a revised model is a new credit
- We invoice against a quotation
Small against the decision it informs.
The capital decision a study supports can run to hundreds of millions. A credit is A$11,700 for 3 months at the beta price, plus GST. A credit buys your team unlimited runs on that model for 3 or 12 months, so more options are tested before the number goes to the board.
Low risk.
Your organisation's first purchase has a 7-day money-back guarantee, and a first plan on us costs nothing.

Common questions
Do I need to use Cognomine myself?
No. Your study team or the consultants you engage run it. Your team can share the results with you read-only.
What does my team bring back?
For each scenario, a practical plan with NPV, cashflow, capital and fleet, and constraint diagnostics showing which limits are holding and where.
How is it priced for budgeting?
Per study, at a published price, with no annual licence, no per-seat pricing and no per-run charges. We invoice against a quotation.
Has it been benchmarked?
On a ten-year strategic plan with the same orebody, constraints and assumptions, Cognomine returned $273M more discounted NPV than Google OR-Tools, on $149.5M less equipment capital. Cognomine returned its plan in minutes; OR-Tools was stopped unconverged at 12 hours.
Can it support reserve reporting or a transaction?
Your team can re-plan for each reserve and resource restatement on the same setup, or test a seller's case against several operating assumptions. Any public disclosure under JORC or an equivalent code stays with the competent person who makes it.
