PitFlow
Cloud-based pit optimizer · 2026

Affordable pit optimization
for a sustainable future.

Quickly assess your mining business potential and compare multiple scenarios — without the prohibitive cost of traditional software. Runs entirely in the cloud, from any browser.

Features

Everything you need to optimize a pit

From smooth pit shells to advanced slope constraints — 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 — no manual cleanup required.

Advanced geomechanical constraints

Assign direction-dependent slope angles to individual mining blocks. Model complex geotechnical domains with full precision.

Full 3D viewer

Inspect your pit shells in an integrated 3D viewer directly 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

Evaluate risk and compute a series of nested pit shells at different ore prices — ideal for scheduling and capital phasing decisions.

Full reports

Generate detailed optimization reports including grade-tonnage curves, cash flow summaries, and block-by-block extraction schedules.

Your data, your way

Import pre-computed mining block values or use grade-based inputs — PitFlow handles the economic modelling for you.

Project management

Organize deposits into projects, manage multiple scenarios side-by-side, and share results with your team in one click.

Export pit surfaces

Download pit surfaces in standard formats compatible with leading mine planning software for further scheduling work.

How it works

From block model to optimized pit in minutes

No installation, no IT overhead. Open a browser and get results the same day.

01
Upload your block model

Import a CSV or structured block model file. PitFlow reads block coordinates, grades, and density — in your format.

02
Set economic parameters

Enter metal prices, process costs, recoveries, and slope angles. Define exclusion zones and pushback intervals.

03
Run the optimization

PitFlow's cloud engine computes the optimal pit shell using a state-of-the-art algorithm — typically in a few minutes.

04
Analyze & export

Review results in the 3D viewer, compare scenarios, download reports, and export pit surfaces for scheduling.

Plans & Pricing

Pit optimization at your pace — and your budget.

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

Good to know: the Demo is a guided, view-only walkthrough of a pre-built project — no card required. On Pay Per Optimization, your 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, passionate 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 licenses affordable only by major mining houses. We believe that 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.
