Pi by Mining Timing

Pi Tracking mines: planning and tracking production

Two-week plan, targets and actuals, 7:30 am meeting, shift report, drill and blast, development, draw control, fleet. Binders and files disappear: the shift supervisor enters data once, and technical services and management read the same figure.

• Gantt chart of stopes and rings, locks before each step
• Signed shift report: line-up, hazards, gas, blasts, delays
• Designed, blasted, achieved reconciliation

Every truck measured, the plant reconciled

Ayavex's ScanHaul gantry feeds Pi: volume, carryback, time, truck, loader, origin. Pi compares three measurements of the same ore, declared buckets, scanned trucks and the plant belt weigher, then calculates dilution, feed grade, recovery and tailings, day by day.

• Stockpile or concentrator: decision per trip, based on the grade of the source stope
• Cycle time and payload, truck by truck

Cameroon gold, from the mine to export

Pi applies the Cameroonian legal procedure, step by step. In our demonstration, two cooperatives in the East and Adamawa regions seal their gold, a licensed buying office purchases it, and the lot follows ten steps through to the export certificate and departure from the country. The State's share has its own circuit, through to the Treasury and the municipalities. A mass discrepancy of more than 2% triggers an alert.

The concentrate lot passport

Where the ore comes from, which shifts and which plant it passed through, how it was hauled to the port. Each concentrate truck is a sealed lot, measured at departure and on arrival.

LCA for mines and plants

Footprint per tonne of ore and concentrate, scope 1 to 3 emissions inventory, heaviest items. The data come from register scans: diesel, electricity, explosives, reagents, water, waste rock. Our review of 32 lithium LCAs is the scientific basis.

Pi Tracking batteries: the passport

Identity, chemistry, capacity, provenance, state of health, interventions, end of life and recycling, with the level of evidence for each data item. The QR code opens the record at the appropriate access level.

The fleet and customer service

Every item of equipment sold: delivery, warranty, interventions, alerts, end-of-life return. Preventive maintenance and 24/7 support.

The chain, from mine to recycling

From ore to pack to recycling: the stages, material flows and countries, lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper, graphite.

Pi Market: prices, every day

Metals, energy, rates, currencies and sector equities, with their full history. Collection runs several times a day.

News and insights

A sector journal written every day: morning note, lithium, mining and markets, analysis, evening update, drawn from 28 vetted feeds.

Companies and chart analysis

470 companies, 593 series: overlay lithium, metals, indices, rates and companies on a single chart, with support and resistance levels and major industry events.

Statistical analysis

Descriptive statistics, return distribution, rolling regression and correlation, on any series and any window.

Forecasts

Six methods on any series and any horizon: naïve with drift, moving average, exponential smoothing, regression trend, AR(1) and AR(2), with 95% interval.

Risk and portfolio

Return, volatility, Sharpe, maximum drawdown, VaR at 95 and 99%, beta, alpha and correlation against the chosen benchmark.

Valuation

An analysis workstation by commodity and by company: relative value per tonne of resource, comparables, and step-by-step project valuation.

Macroeconomics and value chain

54 African countries, CEMAC and the major economies: inflation, growth, debt, reserves, exchange rates. The global lithium-ion chain and the points where we intervene.

Cameroon, with and without geology

49 tracked projects, 144 exploration permits, 127 authorised quarries and 111 dated milestones on a single map. Show or hide the geology, filter by commodity, open a project sheet: holder, title, resources, status.

The geological engine

In four well-explored countries, the engine learns where the known lithium, graphite and copper deposits are located, then applies these rules to the geological map of Cameroon. Canada has its own map: mines, projects and showings.
