Blockchain & Traceability

Blockchain-based platforms can help build more secure and transparent supply chains. Here you can find more information about blockchain use cases in mineral supply chains.
Interoperability Project

A Practical Interoperability Project with the British Columbia Government

Minespider demonstrates Practical Interoperability, meaning that data from the British Columbia Government’s blockchain credentialing system would be pulled into a Minespider product passport; a credentialing system speaking with our traceability system.

Mining companies base their entire operations on data

Data-driven, data-dependent: Blockchain in the Mining Industry

Data is the basis of mining companies' operations. They essentially base their entire operations on data; geological and economic data to find out whether the operation is worthwhile in the first place; environmental data to monitor and mitigate impact; and financial data to keep investors up to date. Blockchain technology offers a tool to capture and communicate this data - with regulators, investors and the public - in a uniquely trustworthy and transparent way.
