How Minebright works
Discovery to go-live in months, not years.
Map your reconciliation
We map every input — block model, dig blocks, fleet feed, mill scale, lab assays — against the way your team already closes the month.
Month 1
Configure Pit Info
Minebright engineers configure Pit Info around the workflow we mapped. Site rules, signoff steps, distribution lists — configured against your existing month-end, not a vendor template.
Months 1–3
Go live, then refine
First reconciliation closes in 3–4 months. We sit through month-end with your team, log every edge case, and configure for the next cycle.
Month 3–4 onward

Still running on paper? 90% of sites do.
Your crew photographs the logsheet. Pit Info reads it.
Digitize handwritten paper logsheets via WhatsApp OCR — no re-keying.
Shift supervisor snaps the handwritten logsheet and sends it to a WhatsApp bot. OCR reads it, validates it, and writes it to the database as an audited entry — before the shift is off the pad. No new hardware, no new habit, no numbers lost to a filing cabinet. The one input every other reconciliation system makes you re-key by hand.

Highlighted views
Four of the views your team works in every day.
Detailed mine production for the site supervisor. Grade control penetration rates for the Drilling Manager. Reconciliation reporting for the Technical Services Manager. These are four we highlight — Pit Info ships many more, every one configured around how your operation already runs.
01 · HIGHLIGHTTRUCKING
Every truck. Every cycle. Reconciled to the dig block.
Track ore movement from dig block to ROM pad to mill feed. Live truck counts, lost-time statistics, fleet performance graphs — reconciled at month-end.
02 · HIGHLIGHTGRADE CONTROL
Performance Summary — block-by-block variance.
Drilling and grade reconciled at every block. Declared vs reconciled tonnes and grade. JORC-grade performance summary your Chief Geologist signs.
03 · HIGHLIGHTRECONCILIATION
Gold production, mine-to-mill, with auditable values.
Resource model to gold poured. Every stage reconciled. Ounces predicted, declared, and poured — with variance flagged against site tolerance thresholds, per JORC.
04 · HIGHLIGHTDASHBOARD
Equipment Performance — the 07:00 view.
Beyond reconciliation: availability, utilisation, and mean-time-between-failure across the fleet — the same numbers your site supervisor walks into the 07:00 meeting with.
Pit Info vs Excel vs Other reconciliation software
One system. Database, source of truth, and reconciliation — together.
Competitors split your operational truth across a database licence, a BI licence, a reconciliation bolt-on, and the workbooks gluing them together. Pit Info is one system. One contract. One record everyone signs.
| Spec | PIT INFO/ MINEBRIGHT | EXCEL/ STATUS QUO | OTHER RECONCILIATION SOFTWARE |
|---|---|---|---|
| ROLE ON SITE | Database + SSOT + reconciliation One licence. Your operational truth lives here — not in three separate vendor contracts. | A workbook Not a database. Not a record. A file someone owns. | Reconciliation only You still buy a database, a BI tool, and the workbooks behind it — separately. |
| PROGRAMS TO RUN | 1 Pit Info. That is the stack. | 4–8 Excel + SharePoint + Outlook + Power BI + a master workbook with one owner | 3–5 Reconciler + source DB + ETL + BI tool + email distribution |
| TIME TO FIRST RECONCILIATION | 3–4 months Configured by Minebright engineers on-site | Days to stand up the first workbook Years before it survives an audit | 12+ months Per typical vendor implementation timeline |
| AUDIT TRAIL | Per-entry timestamps Down to individual truck movements | Cell history (best case) No timestamps, no attribution, broken on merge | Per-session log Coarser granularity than per-entry |
| GRADE RECONCILIATION | Block · truck · month-end JORC-compliant waterfall, every stage | End-of-month aggregate No drill-down to dig block or truck | Block-level Aggregated reconciliation reporting |
| REPORTING STANDARD | JORC waterfall, every stage, per month-end Resource → reserve → mined → ROM → mill → poured, with variance against tolerance | Site-defined, manual No enforced template — each closer interprets the standard differently | Aggregate-period JORC report Monthly or quarterly roll-up, no per-block or per-truck drill-down |
| SIGNOFF + WORKFLOW | Configurable signoff Site rules, warnings, error checks per role | Email approval PDF round-trip, no enforcement, no record | Workflow engine Vendor-defined approval steps |

FAQ
What buyers ask before booking a working session.
What is Pit Info?
Pit Info is mine-to-mill reconciliation software for gold and polymetal producers, built by Minebright Inc., a mining engineering firm in Toronto, Canada. It combines the production database, the single source of truth, and the reconciliation engine in one system — replacing the usual stack of Excel workbooks, a separate database, a BI licence, and a reconciliation bolt-on. It produces a JORC-compliant reconciliation waterfall (resource → reserve → mined → ROM → mill → poured) with a per-truck and per-block audit trail.
We run reconciliation in Excel today. Why switch?
Excel scales until it does not — and the month it does not is the month dilution ships unflagged. Pit Info is configured around the workflow your team already runs in Excel, then layers on per-truck audit trail, JORC-grade signoff, live fleet feeds, and a record everyone signs off on. You keep Excel where it earns its keep (modelling, ad-hoc work) and reconcile in Pit Info.
How long does implementation take?
First reconciliation in 3–4 months, not a year-long rollout. Month 1 is a working session and reconciliation mapping. Months 1–3 we configure Pit Info on your data. Month 3–4 onward you are live, and we stay through the first month-end.
Will Pit Info work with our existing Excel workflow?
Yes. Pit Info reads your existing Excel sheets, exports back to them, and pushes summary data into Power BI. The point is not to delete Excel — the point is to give you reconciled production values everyone signs off on, and let Excel keep doing what it does.
What systems does Pit Info connect to?
Fleet dispatch systems, mill historians and SCADA, block-model and resource software, geological modelling and mine-planning suites, LIMS, and direct CSV / REST API. Live feeds at 5-second intervals where the source supports it; scheduled syncs daily, hourly, or per cycle everywhere else.
Where is Pit Info hosted? Cloud or on-site?
Both — hybrid hosting is your choice. Run Pit Info in the cloud on AWS, in the region of your choice (currently Canada and Australia), or on-site on your own infrastructure for sites with limited connectivity or strict data-sovereignty rules — or a hybrid of the two. Per-tenant infrastructure either way. Your data does not move between regions, or off-site, without your signoff.
Who built Pit Info?
Minebright Inc., a mining engineering and technical services firm based in Toronto. We work with gold and polymetal producers across West Africa, the CIS, and the Americas. Pit Info is the system we configure for our clients — built because the software we needed on our own jobs did not exist.
What does the engagement look like?
A working session, not a sales deck. We sit with your team, map your reconciliation workflow against the way you already close the month, and walk through where Pit Info fits. If we move forward, we configure Pit Info on your data and stay through your first month-end on the new system.
Can Pit Info digitize handwritten / paper logsheets?
Yes. Your shift supervisor photographs the handwritten logsheet and sends it to a WhatsApp bot. OCR reads it, validates the values against site rules, and writes them to the database as an audited entry — before the shift is off the pad. No new hardware, no re-keying, no numbers lost in a filing cabinet.
