Mining intelligence platform · Zimbabwe
Smarter mining. Cleaner wealth. Restored land.
CHERA AI helps small-scale gold miners keep honest records, spot where gold may be lost, notice environmental risks early and show their rehabilitation work. It supports the experts a miner already relies on. It does not replace them.
Works on a phone. Capture in the field without a connection and send later. Your records stay private to your organisation.
Processing batch
Every figure says how far to trust it. Nothing is upgraded without a reviewer, evidence and a reason.
How it works
From what you see to what you learn
One loop, run again and again at each site.
Observe
Record what happens at the site: batches processed, tailings, conditions on the ground, safety checks. In the field, with or without a connection.
Analyse
Simple, visible arithmetic and rules. Missing figures are listed, never guessed. Possible risks are flagged for a person to check.
Recommend
The adviser suggests what to check, sample or discuss, and cites the records it used. Anything about changing processing goes to a specialist.
Act
Approved recommendations become actions with a person, a date and a note of what was done.
Measure
Record what was measured afterwards. Results sit beside the action; they are evidence to look at, not proof of cause.
Learn
Pilot indicators come straight from the records, so a cooperative and its partners can see what changed and what worked.
What is inside
Six tools, one site record
Processing records and adviser
Capture methods, ore, costs and gold recovered. Recovery is calculated only when tonnage, head grade and output are all recorded.
Tailings intelligence
Log tailings, samples and laboratory assays to see where sampling or a secondary-recovery assessment may be worth a specialist's time.
Environmental risk map
GPS-tagged observations with photographs, shown on a map and flagged as possible risks for field verification.
Rehabilitation tracker
A baseline, planned work, who is responsible, dated progress and repeat photographs. Work done is kept separate from ecological recovery.
CHERA Responsible Mining Score
A transparent summary of how well practices are documented, with every input and rule shown. Informational, not a certification.
Digital Mine Passport
A structured site history you can share with a buyer or financier through an expiring link, with location and notes withheld by default.
What CHERA AI will not claim
Evidence before claims
Photographs show conditions, not grade
A photo cannot tell you gold grade, recovery or whether water is contaminated. Those need assays, instruments and field checks, and CHERA AI says so wherever it matters.
Advice is reviewed by people
The adviser never gives a confidence percentage and never says a site is compliant. Any suggested change to processing needs a specialist reviewer to approve it before it becomes an action.
Scores inform; they do not certify
The Responsible Mining Score shows how completely and recently practices are documented, with the working shown. It is not a certification or a regulatory approval.
