Patented • Mine-Proven
SMART is building a mine-owning company around patented, mine-proven underground architecture designed to improve how mid-sized mineral deposits are developed and mined.
A four-year, $5 million development and test-mining program at Peñoles’ Francisco I. Madero mine combined geotechnical modeling, component testing and production-dimension mining beneath SMART’s engineered reinforced roof.
SMART is designed for minimal subsidence, reduced groundwater interaction, near-zero boundary dilution, higher ore recovery and earlier access to ore. Its engineered underground factory floor combines safer workspaces, parallel operations and higher labor productivity with a practical platform for automation.
Now building the company: founding capital • lead CEO • senior mining authority
Two opportunities. One engineering advantage.
SMART’s operating advantages serve a broad market. In some deposits, those same advantages could determine whether a mine is possible at all.
For deposits with conventional mining alternatives, SMART is designed to deliver safer workspaces, higher labor productivity, less dilution, higher ore recovery and earlier revenue.
Parallel work streams and an engineered underground factory floor create a more repeatable operating system and a practical platform for automation.
Explore the operating advantagesFor known deposits with no viable conventional mining path, SMART could resolve the decisive constraint—and make a mine possible where other approaches cannot.
Secure acquisition, option or joint-venture rights before that engineering solution is priced in, then retain the value created by bringing the asset into production.
Explore the decisive unlockThe investment thesis
Apply safer supported workspaces, parallel operations and selective mining to deposits with conventional alternatives—and to assets where SMART could make mining possible.
Seek acquisitions, options or joint ventures before SMART’s engineering advantage is reflected in the asset value. Stranded deposits may offer particularly attractive entry terms.
Build a lean mine-owning company, direct one trusted contractor and retain the value created through engineering and execution.
