MineMax Inc. specializes in creating customized software solutions that enhance mining operations from extraction to processing. Founded by two graduates from the University of Alberta, we leverage cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, simulation, and mixed-reality tools to address both immediate and long-term challenges in the mining industry. Our mission is to optimize efficiency and productivity for mining operators across various sectors, ensuring they remain competitive in a dynamic landscape.
At MineMax, our products are built to unlock measurable productivity gains across your haulage and mining operations. MineMax Haulage Simulator (MMHS) delivers fast, data-driven answers to “what-if” questions—optimizing fleet size, allocation, dispatching, and cycle times to reduce queues, fuel, and cost per tonne. MineMax Mixed Reality System (MMRS) brings the mine to life in immersive VR/AR environments for training, scenario walk-throughs, and stakeholder buy-in—turning complex plans into clear, actionable decisions. Beyond these flagship tools, we craft custom solutions that fuse simulation, optimization, and AI to fit your site’s constraints, KPIs, and tech stack—from IPCC evaluations to real-time dispatch rules and digital twins. The result: smarter haulage, higher equipment availability, and sustained throughput—so your operation moves more material, safely and profitably, every shift.
Our projects use simulation to turn mining complexity into confident decisions. We deliver two streams: MineMax-led engagements (full ownership from scope to delivery) and collaborations with other solution providers. (specialized simulation within larger teams). Across both, we apply advanced simulation and scenario analysis for operational, short-term, and strategic planning—answering what-ifs on fleet sizing, dispatching, de-bottlenecking, and system redesign. The result: practical, defensible recommendations that lift throughput, cut delays, and make haulage more reliable.
