We’re Building a Better Future in Mining
The mining industry faces unprecedented challenges with declining ore grades, increasing operational costs, and a massive shortage of skilled workers. Mineral resources are essential for humanity’s future and our consumption rate is only growing, vastly outpacing the supply of new ore.
Blasting is at the core of hard rock mining, and yet the industry still relies on outdated methods and tribal knowledge.
Most sites lack cross-functional integration and modern optimization tools, mine-to-mill integration, and data-driven insights.
The result? Suboptimal fragmentation, increased dilution, wasted energy, and higher processing costs downstream. Put simply, worse blasts at a higher cost, which take longer to excavate.
Meet Rockhound
Blast faster, cheaper, and with better outcomes.
Designed to leverage all potential data sources to optimize not only your blasting, but every aspect of the whole mining system. Rockhound is a centralized platform to predict what you’re blasting, how to blast it, and optimize your downstream processes.
