Sovereign AI for mining. Frameworks that just work.

Mining and resources carry obligations from every direction: state safety regulators, environmental approvals, tailings standards, SOCI critical-infrastructure rules, modern slavery and ESG disclosures. ORCA Opti brings them into one program inside your own Microsoft 365, with the standards the sector actually runs on already mapped and ready to use.

The reality on site

What keeps mining executives up at night

Safety, environment, social licence and a tightening regulatory net. Operations are 24/7, multi-site and often multi-country, and the obligations follow you across every one.

Safety incidents that cost lives and licences

Fatalities, serious injuries, dust exposure, vehicle accidents and explosives risk are everyday realities, and one event can mean a stop-work order across the operation.

Environmental and tailings exposure

Tailings dams, water management, rehabilitation bonds and biodiversity impact carry global scrutiny since Brumadinho and ongoing regulatory tightening.

Cultural heritage and social licence

Indigenous land use agreements, cultural heritage management plans and Native Title obligations are non-negotiable, with reputational and legal consequences for getting them wrong.

Multiplying obligations across jurisdictions

State mining safety regulators, federal SOCI obligations, modern slavery, ESG disclosures and the Safeguard Mechanism all land on the same team, often across multiple sites and countries.

Your AI safe zone

Sovereign AI that stays in your tenant

Opti Assist runs inside your own Microsoft 365 environment. Site teams, HSE, compliance and corporate staff get instant, source-cited answers from your own SOPs, JSAs, reports, contractor packs and standards. AI Guardian sits in front of every prompt, blocking sensitive technical, commercial and worker information from leaving your tenant.

Site, geological and commercial data stays put

Geology, reserves, JORC reports, contracts and worker data never leave your Microsoft 365 environment and are never used to train external models.

AI Guardian inspects every prompt

Sensitive technical, commercial and worker information is blocked before it reaches any AI model.

Field-ready answers

Site teams, HSE and compliance staff can ask natural-language questions of your SOPs, JSAs, geological reports and contractor packs, and get instant, source-cited answers.

ISO/IEC 42001 aligned

AI governance built to the new international standard, ready for board, investor and regulator scrutiny.

Frameworks built in

The standards the resources sector actually runs on, already mapped

ORCA Opti ships with the obligations and standards mining actually runs on. The controls are pre-mapped, the evidence is structured and the reporting is current, so you spend time on operations instead of building a framework from scratch.

ISO 45001 and state WHS Acts

Occupational health and safety management with state mining safety obligations covered, from NSW Resources Regulator and WA DEMIRS to Qld RSHQ and NT DITT.

ISO 14001 and environmental approvals

Environmental management, EPA conditions, water licences, rehabilitation obligations and tailings management tracked continuously.

GISTM tailings management

Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management with structured assurance, governance and disclosure ready for board and investor review.

ISO 27001 and SOCI Act

Information security, OT cyber risk and SOCI critical asset obligations with 12 and 72 hour reporting ready for incidents.

ESG disclosures (ISSB / IFRS S2)

Climate, biodiversity and sustainability reporting aligned to ISSB, GRI and the Safeguard Mechanism, drawn from live operational records.

Modern slavery and ICMM principles

Modern Slavery Act statements, supply chain due diligence and ICMM Performance Expectations captured once and kept current.

Who it is built for

Built for majors, mid-tiers, juniors and the contractors who serve them

From global majors and mid-tier producers to explorers, juniors and the mining contractors and service providers behind them, the obligations are similar in shape and very different in scale.

Major miners

Scale safety, environmental and ESG programs across multiple sites and jurisdictions, with a single audit trail and one set of evidence.

Mid-tier and growing producers

Stand up the controls investors and regulators expect quickly enough to keep the development pipeline moving.

Explorers and juniors

Enterprise-grade governance sized for lean teams, so you can demonstrate the controls majors require before a JV or acquisition.

Contractors and service providers

Demonstrate the controls your mining customers expect, with audit trails ready when prequalification or a principal audit hits.

Stay in production. Stay in compliance. Stay in front.

Stop running a parallel program for every site, regulator and framework. Bring safety, environment, security, ESG and AI use into one secure system inside your own Microsoft 365, with the frameworks the resources sector actually runs on already mapped and ready to use.
