Introduction to Mine Reconciliation
Mine reconciliation allows mine operators to seek out improvement opportunities, potentially increasing revenue and reducing costs by millions.
About Minebright
Four people. You work with all four.
We build production tracking and reconciliation, workforce mobility and reporting software for mining operations. No bench, no account manager. Our reconciliation guides end with a named person’s direct email address rather than a form, because that is who you would actually be dealing with.
Trusted by producers, royalty holders, suppliers and research institutes
About Minebright
What we do
Minebright is bootstrapped. We build software for mine production tracking and reconciliation, for rostering and travel on remote operations, and for the reporting that sits on top of both. We also publish how the underlying methodology works, with the equations shown.
Our business analysts understand the mining and metals industry, from exploration to operations, ensuring clients won’t face frustration explaining basic industry terminology.
Applications are deployable on-premises or in the cloud, whichever your IT group prefers, and you keep API or direct database access to your own data. Support is offered in English, French and Russian. Power BI training is delivered in English and French by Microsoft Certified Trainers, which is what lets the work reach a site in francophone West Africa rather than stop at head office.

Published work
What we have published
Four articles on how mine-to-mill reconciliation actually works: worked equations on real gold-mine figures, stockpile net realisable value, and how reconciled metal variance lands on a royalty or stream.
Mine Reconciliation: A (simplified) Step-By-Step Guide
Reconciliation is complex in practice, but can be broken down into a simple series of calculations.
Reconciled Metal Variance and the Implications to Royalties and Streams
Reconciliation can have a substantial impact on revenue for royalty and stream holders
Stockpile Management and the Implications to the Balance Sheet
Geologists have control on how stockpile’s metal balance is calculated which has a direct effect on the balance sheet.

“Minebright Inc. improved our reporting at Sanbrado by integrating Power BI, delivering near real time insights, clearer visualizations and better support for decision-making. Their team’s expertise and prompt responses ensured a smooth implementation, allowing us to stay focused on core operations. We recommend Minebright for practical solutions.”
Luke Holden
General Manager, Sanbrado Gold Operations
“We commissioned Minebright to work with our business to develop a travel management system, replacing our existing excel worksheet. The team at Minebright have been proactive in their endeavours to develop a user friendly and modern web-application. Our scope of work required a system which supports our employees and allows for a streamlined travel, and interactive / approval system which has now been achieved. We will continue to work with Minebright to enhance and expand the functionality to include performance management.”
Libby Mounsey
Executive Director of Human Resources, West African Resources
“We have worked with Minebright on several projects; throughout the development process the Minebright team was very collaborative, and quick to respond to any changes requested. We will surely continue to work with them in the future helping us streamline and improve our processes and procedures.”
Evan Shkolnik
President, Cion
“The improvements that Minebright made to our reporting systems were a huge help to our team. Having near-real time insights into every aspect of construction progress allowed me to focus my efforts where they were most needed and contributed to the Abujar Gold Project being delivered on-time and on-budget.”
Daniel Kotzee
Construction Manager, Tietto Minerals
