AI+ Mining Professionals

Work Safer, Report Smarter and Operate Better with AI

The mine doesn't pause for paperwork. Now neither do you.

You know this mine better than any AI ever will. What AI knows is how to draft the documents that keep you from doing the technical work you were actually trained for. This book gives you the CORE Protocol — a four-tier data safety framework built for mine site realities — and the SHAFT Framework to build your AI practice from first prompt to site-wide adoption. 33 prompt templates for JORC narratives, shift handovers, safety management plans, and environmental compliance. Built by an AI engineering firm for professionals who want to work safer, report smarter, and lead from the front.

Inside
  • 33 ready-made, mine-tested prompts: JORC narratives, shift handovers, incident reports, environmental monitoring
  • The CORE Protocol — four-tier data safety framework for mine site AI decisions before every prompt
  • The SHAFT Framework — mine site AI adoption roadmap from first prompt to site-wide capability
  • A Competent Person accountability discipline that keeps AI out of safety-critical decisions and sign-off intact
  • A 30-day Mine Site AI Starter Plan with weekly targets for individual and site-level adoption
Who this is for

Mining engineers, mine managers, geologists, metallurgists, mine safety professionals, and mine environmental officers with 3–15 years' site experience. Working across open cut, underground, and processing operations at mines of all scales. Deep technical expertise; moderate to low AI familiarity.

Also for:Mining company graduate engineers and trainees; mine contractors and consultants; METS (Mining Equipment, Technology and Services) professionals who support mine sites; mining compliance officers.

You’ll be able to
  • Apply the CORE Protocol to classify mine site data and identify appropriate AI tool uses
  • Use AI to produce technical reports, JORC-adjacent documentation, and safety management materials
  • Apply the SHAFT Framework to build a mine site AI adoption plan
  • Use AI to improve operational reporting, environmental compliance, and stakeholder communication
  • Design a prompt library for recurring mining professional tasks
