## About Stratum AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Stratum AI applies deep-tech AI and machine learning to improve decision-making in mining operations by creating more accurate resource, grade control, geometallurgical, and geotechnical models.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Farzi Yusufali (Co-founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Mining technology (MiningTech), Artificial Intelligence, Deep Tech
- Target customers: B2B enterprise — producing mines globally, including operations in North America, Latin America, and Australia
- Mission or purpose statement: "To help production-mines make better decisions by applying machine learning to existing geological and operational data" — extracting more value from the data they already have, throughout the life of a mine.

## Products & Services
- **SAIGE Technology Platform**: AI-driven resource modeling platform that creates high-density multivariate geostatistical models for gold, copper, and other minerals. It supports resource, grade control, geometallurgical, and geotechnical models, enabling dynamic reconciliation and error correction between plan and production.
- **Drill Targeting & Brownfield Expansion**: Uses AI to optimize drillhole spacing and improve confidence in brownfield exploration, reducing drilling costs.
- **Geometallurgical Modeling**: Predicts recovery, hardness, fines generation, and other processing-related parameters to optimize feed blending strategies.
- **Geotechnical Modeling**: Improves surface geotechnical characterization, identifies high-risk zones before instabilities occur, and integrates geotechnical drilling data with monitoring sensors and bench mapping.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Total Funding**: USD 125,000 (across 2 seed rounds — Pre-Seed in June 2019 and Seed in March 2020), with additional seed round in August 2020 with 4 investors
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Details on specific lead investors not publicly named; the company has completed at least 2 funding rounds
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 37.5% year-over-year; currently employs ~50 people. The team spans 5 countries (Canada, US, Chile, Peru, Australia). Proven results released via ASX filings showing: -58% in deviations, 10% yield gained, -41% waste produced, +6% CIL material, +20% high-grade stockpile grade, ~25% fewer drilling requirements.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary SAIGE Technology**: The world’s first AI mineral resource modeling company, using deep-tech AI for production-phase mines — a highly underserved, high-value niche.
- **End-to-End Deployment**: ML engineers work directly with mine teams, taking ownership from modeling through deployment in real projects.
- **Proven Economic Impact**: Delivers measurable results (e.g., 10% yield gain, -41% waste reduction, -58% deviation reduction) as verified by ASX public filings.
- **Multivariate Modeling**: Goes beyond grade to model hardness, fines generation, and other processing parameters — a key differentiator in the industry.

## Strategic Focus
- Continue scaling production-mine deployments globally, particularly in gold and copper.
- Expand geometallurgical and geotechnical modeling capabilities to reduce operational risk.
- Deepen presence in brownfield exploration, where operational decisions have the greatest economic impact.
- Grow team across North America, Latin America, and Australia with a focus on applied ML engineers, geologists, and metallurgists.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven**: Opportunity to directly improve mining efficiency, reduce waste (up to 41%), and have a measurable environmental impact — not just build abstract models.
- **Applied ML at Scale**: Engineers work on end-to-end systems that go from research to production deployment in real mines, with ownership and autonomy.
- **Culture**: Values ownership, autonomy, and practical problem-solving. Small team (~50 people) with a flat structure.
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Hybrid workspace (employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work); many roles are fully remote across Canada, Australia, Chile, and Peru.
- **Global Reach**: Work with mines and teams across 10 countries and 4 offices (Toronto, plus teams in Latin America and Australia).
- **Fast-Growing**: 37.5% employee growth YoY, with recent roles posted for MLOps engineers, forward-deployed ML engineers, full stack engineers, 3D visualization developers, and director of business development.
