MineXa · a LEG Engineering system

Know your true cost per metre — and why it moves.

Drilling — underground and on surface — is your biggest controllable cost, and today it's an average nobody fully trusts. MineXa turns every shift at the face into cost and productivity intelligence you can act on and defend.

Capture at the rig on a rugged tablet, offline. Commit one trusted record. See cost per metre by operator, rig, ground and shift — in dashboards built for the boardroom.

$/m
Cost per metre you can defend — measured, not estimated
Attributable
Every dollar of wear tied to the rig, operator and ground that caused it
100%
Every bit, steel & shank traced to metres drilled
On-site
Runs at the mine — your data never leaves
The problem

Drilling is one of the largest costs you actually control — yet most operations still run it on spreadsheets, averages and memory.

Cost per metre is a guess
Averaged across the fleet, it hides which rig, operator or ground is actually bleeding money.
Downtime is counted in hours
Not dollars — so the stops that quietly cost the most never reach a decision.
The data dies at the rig
What the operator knows never becomes a number the planner, buyer or GM can use.
What you get

Six numbers your operation can't produce today

Not features — outcomes. Each one turns an argument into a decision.

True cost per metre

Real metres, real consumable and downtime cost — attributable to the rig, operator, heading and ground that produced it.

Defensible in a supplier or contractor review

Downtime priced in dollars

A direct + opportunity cost model puts a figure on every stop, ranked so the expensive ones surface first.

Pareto of what to fix first

Consumable life by ground

Bit, steel and shank life by rig, boom, operator and location — so you buy the right tool and grind at the right time.

Regrind & sourcing decisions

Penetration as it happens

Full-face penetration rate, not spot samples — separating worn tools, wrong selection and changing ground.

In-shift decision support

Period-on-period trends

Every KPI compared like-for-like — this period vs last, and year-to-date vs the same point last year — so you see what's moving, not just where it stands.

Spot the trend before month-end

Alerts to the boardroom

Tunable executive alerts — cost/m rising, a downtime type climbing, a silent rig — surfaced before month-end.

Proactive, not post-mortem
One system, both environments

Underground and surface — on the same cost-per-metre basis

Most drilling tools pick a side: open-pit only, underground only, or one OEM's tooling. MineXa is built to run the same capture and the same cost model across both — so a mixed operation reports on one basis, not two, and can compare methods like-for-like.

The drill string

Every bit, steel and shank — traced to metres

Full lifecycle per consumable: installed, metres drilled, why it was replaced. Averages become measured cost, by tool and by location — the same way underground or on surface.

At the rig

The data starts where the drilling happens

Most systems ask the office to reconstruct the shift days later. MineXa captures it on a rugged tablet at the rig — offline, mid-shift, by the people who were there — then syncs one trusted record when it reconnects.

  • Offline-first: no signal underground or across the pit — no problem
  • Guided capture — bits, steels, shanks, downtime, ground support
  • One record from rig to committed cost, no re-keying
  • OEM-agnostic — any drill maker, your catalogue

Yours, on-site

Your data stays at your mine

On-premise, open-source
Runs on your hardware — "MineXa in a Box". No cloud dependency, no data leaving the lease.
Deploy without disruption
Progressive rollout — no fleet replacement, complements the systems you already run.
A knowable, modest price
Priced against the spreadsheet it replaces — not a six-figure enterprise suite. Per-site, not per-seat.

Deploy it your way. On-site is the base plan — but there's no reason MineXa can't run as SaaS if you'd rather we hosted it. Same product, your choice of where it lives.
