Why We Started MineTrack
The problem was never just missing data.It was disconnected data.
A worker can exist in one system under one identity and appear elsewhere under another.
A payroll record can exist without a reliable connection to attendance.
A payment can be associated with an account without a clear chain of verification.
A mine's production can be reported separately from the information used to assess royalties and tax.
An inspection can happen without creating a complete longitudinal record of the operation.
And when information is fragmented, accountability becomes fragmented too.
If a government cannot connect the people, operations, payments and production within its mining sector, it cannot effectively assure the revenue generated by that sector.

Why MineTrack
Why MineTrack
Know Who Is Working.
Every worker can have a verified digital identity and workforce record, with recruitment and onboarding taking place through the platform.
Know Who Is Being Paid.
Connect verified workers to payroll records and payment information to identify duplicate identities, unusual payment patterns and accounts requiring investigation.
Know What Is Happening At The Mine.
Connect workforce activity, inspections, production declarations and operational records.
Protect Public Revenue.
Reconcile reported activity against royalties, tax obligations and production information.
Follow The Chain Of Accountability.
Important actions, approvals, changes and verification decisions should create an auditable record.
Detect Anomalies Earlier.
Identify patterns that may warrant review rather than relying entirely on manual discovery after money has already left the system.
Accountability
Accountability Does Not Stop At The Mine Gate.
MineTrack should not simply monitor workers. It should establish accountability throughout the authorised chain of decision making.
The Chain Of Decision Making
- Workers
- Supervisors
- Mine Management
- Directors
- Licensing Officials
- Inspectors
- Payroll Approvers
- Financial Verification Personnel
- Regulators
- Government Administrators
What The System Should Record
Where the system permits an action, the system should be able to record:
- Who acted.
- What they did.
- When they did it.
- What changed.
- What evidence supported it.
- Who approved it.
Public Trust
Built Around A Principle Of Public Trust
Public resources require public accountability.
The objective isn't to replace government judgement. It is to give governments better infrastructure with which to exercise it.
- —See more clearly.
- —Verify more confidently.
- —Identify anomalies earlier.
- —Follow decisions more precisely.
- —Protect public revenue more effectively.
Our Vision
A mining sector where every licence, worker, payment, production record and compliance decision can be connected, verified and accounted for.
MineTrack's long term vision is to provide governments with the digital infrastructure required to manage mining sectors with greater transparency, stronger controls and better information.
Not simply to record what happened. To make accountability part of the system itself.
Mining generates national wealth.The infrastructure protecting that wealth should be equally serious.
