Draslovka, the global innovator in sustainable chemical technologies and AI‑enabled services for the mining sector, and Avathon, a leader in Autonomy for Operations, have announced a strategic commercial partnership to accelerate the adoption of intelligent, autonomous, and data‑driven operations across the global mining industry.

The partnership provides a ‘breakthrough solution’ that combines Draslovka’s real‑time mineral and slurry monitoring technologies – delivered through its world class Blue Cube on‑stream mineralogical sensors – and MetOptima advanced metallurgical optimisation AI engine, with the Avathon Autonomy Platform, a scalable industrial‑AI environment that enhances operational performance, automating decisions, and orchestrating complex operations across sites.

Under the agreement, Draslovka and Avathon will collaborate closely on go-to-market initiatives, jointly commercialising and cross‑selling the combined offering.  The combined Draslovka‑Avathon offering will enable miners to:

• Boost recoveries and stabilise throughput via real‑time mineralogy and metallurgical AI
• Lower reagent, energy, and operating costs while reducing process variability
• Digitise and automate operations across maintenance, HSE, and supply chain
• Maximise asset performance and minimise unplanned downtime
• Enable faster, cross-functional decision-making across the full mining value chain
• Extend intelligence upstream into exploration and resource optimisation

Blue Cube’s on‑stream sensors provide continuous, high‑frequency mineralogical data, enabling mining operations to stabilise circuits, improve recovery, and respond instantly to process variability. MetOptima’s metallurgical AI builds on this live data stream to diagnose inefficiencies, predict plant behavior, and recommend optimal control strategies. By applying MetOptima sourced real-time intelligence to ore quality data, operators can dynamically adjust downstream processing parameters to maximise recovery while optimising reagent use and other input costs.

Avathon’s Autonomy Platform delivers AI-driven, end-to-end planning, decision intelligence, and autonomous actions across the mining value chain – from exploration and logistics to asset management, supply chain, and HSE. Powered by Avathon’s proprietary Computational Knowledge Graph (CKG), the platform connects assets, suppliers, logistics, inventory, and risk factors into a single semantic intelligence layer, eliminating silos and creating real-time operational context. This relationship-aware intelligence drives faster decisions and coordinated autonomous actions optimising performance and resilience across mining operations.

“This partnership with Avathon allows us to deliver Draslovka’s real-time mineral and slurry monitoring technologies as part of an integrated operational platform, answering the growing industry demand for optimisation and autonomous decision making,” said Pavel Bruzek, Draslovka CEO. “The partnership reflects our commitment to delivering practical, scalable and easy-to-implement AI solutions that transform plant performance and sustainability.”

Precious mineral mining and processing are inherently variable – ore grades fluctuate, mineral composition shifts, and recovery conditions change daily. This variability directly impacts yield and operating costs. Industrial AI powering Draslovka’s and Avathon’s combined offering “unlocks a breakthrough opportunity to continuously analyse complex, multi-variable conditions and autonomously optimise recovery processes end-to-end, driving higher yield, lower cost per ton, and more predictable performance.”

“Mining customers are looking to connect plant-level optimisation with enterprise-wide operational resilience,” said Pervinder Johar, CEO of Avathon. “Through our collaboration with Draslovka, Avathon delivers that bridge – combining real-time process intelligence with autonomous operational management to drive smarter, more resilient operations.”
