## Features

Cloud-based pit optimization for mining engineers and geologists. Built by mining people,
for mining people.

- **Smooth pits** — State-of-the-art algorithms generate smooth pit surfaces automatically blended with the surrounding terrain, with no manual cleanup.
- **Advanced geomechanical constraints** — Assign direction-dependent slope angles to individual mining blocks and model complex geotechnical domains.
- **Full 3D viewer** — Inspect pit shells in an integrated 3D viewer in the browser: rotate, zoom and slice without leaving the app.
- **Exclusion zones** — Define polygon exclusion zones to keep the optimized pit within site boundaries, infrastructure corridors or environmental buffers.
- **Pushbacks support** — Compute a series of nested pit shells at different ore prices for scheduling and capital phasing decisions.
- **Full reports** — Grade-tonnage curves, cash flow summaries and block-by-block extraction schedules.
- **Your data, your way** — Import pre-computed mining block values or grade-based inputs; PitFlow handles the economic modelling.
- **Project management** — Organize deposits into projects, manage scenarios side by side and share results with your team.
- **Export pit surfaces** — Download pit surfaces in standard formats compatible with leading mine planning software.

## How it works

From block model to optimized pit in minutes. No installation, no IT overhead.

1. **Upload your block model** — Import a CSV or structured block model file. PitFlow reads block coordinates, grades and density in your format.
2. **Set economic parameters** — Enter metal prices, process costs, recoveries and slope angles. Define exclusion zones and pushback intervals.
3. **Run the optimization** — PitFlow's cloud engine computes the optimal pit shell using a state-of-the-art proprietary algorithm, typically in a few minutes.
4. **Analyze & export** — Review results in the 3D viewer, compare scenarios, download reports and export pit surfaces for scheduling.

## Plans & pricing

Start free with a ready-made sample project, then pay only for the processing you use — or
scale with a subscription. Every paid plan includes PitFlow's complete optimization engine.

| Plan | Price | Included optimizations | Data limit | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Demo (free) | US$ 0, no card needed | View only (pre-built sample project) | Sample project | Docs |
| Pay Per Optimization | US$ 39 / optimization | 3 with first payment, then 1 per run | 1 GB (3 months) | Email |
| Subscription (most popular) | US$ 299 / month | Up to 10 / month | 20 GB | WhatsApp |
| Enterprise | Contact us | Up to 100 / month | 100 GB | Dedicated senior developer |

### Capability differences

| Capability | Demo | Pay Per Opt. | Subscription | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smooth pits (proprietary algorithm) | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| Advanced geomechanical constraints | no | yes | yes | yes |
| Integrated 3D viewer | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| Exclusion zones (polygons) | no | yes | yes | yes |
| Pushbacks & price scenarios | no | no | yes | yes |
| Detailed reports & multi-format export | no | yes | yes | yes |
| Processing priority | — | Standard | Priority | Ultra / dedicated |
| Simultaneous users | 1 | 1 | 1 | Multiple |
| Guided onboarding | no | no | yes | yes |
| SLA & technical consulting | no | no | no | yes |

**Good to know:** the Demo is a guided, view-only walkthrough of a pre-built project — no
card required. On Pay Per Optimization, the first payment unlocks 3 optimizations; after
that each run on a block model counts as 1. Overages on Subscription/Enterprise may be
billed as Pay Per Optimization (US$ 39).

## About

**Democratizing technology in the mining industry.** We are a small team of mining engineers
and software developers on a mission to make world-class pit optimization accessible to
everyone.

Pit optimization has historically been locked behind expensive perpetual licences affordable
only by major mining houses. We believe a junior exploration company, a mid-tier producer or
an independent consultant deserves the same analytical power without the price tag.

PitFlow is built from first principles by people who have sat in the same chair as our users:
running feasibility studies, preparing pit designs, and justifying capital allocation to
boards and banks.

**Currency:** prices are shown in US$ by default and in R$ (BRL) when the site is viewed in
Portuguese — R$ 199 per optimization and R$ 1,599 per month for the Subscription plan.
Enterprise pricing is quoted on request via the contact form.
