MineSense vs PETRA Data Science
Two Mining AI tools, side by side. Both are verified against their own live sites. Here is what each does well and who it is for, so you can choose what fits.
MineSense
minesense.com
Real-time ore grade sensing and AI routing at the mine face
Best forOpen-pit and underground mining operations seeking to reduce ore dilution and improve metal recovery through real-time grade control
PricingEnterprise · current pricing
What it doesMineSense provides a hardware and software system that uses XRF-based sensors mounted on shovels and conveyors to characterize and grade ore in real time at the bucket level, enabling precise ore-vs-waste routing decisions. Proprietary machine learning algorithms process sensor data and deliver results through the MineSense Data Portal, connecting pit grade data to concentrator operations. The platform is deployed at major copper operations globally, including sites in Peru, Chile, and British Columbia.
