Expert Mining Advisory
Technical mining studies, Ore Reserves assessments and strategic mine planning.
Our Mission
Bridging the gap between the pit and the code.
We bring mining engineering and software development together to solve practical planning and operational challenges. Our mining consulting services cover technical studies, Ore Reserves assessments and strategic mine planning, while Orepath Mining Simulator helps teams test plans against operational constraints.
From early studies to active operations, we help clients evaluate options, understand risks and make informed decisions. We apply the same technical rigour to assignments of every scale.
Innovative Mining Software
Discrete-event simulation for testing mine plans, haulage scenarios and equipment interactions.
Company Vision
Connecting mining expertise, software and better planning decisions.
Our vision is to connect mining professionals with the expertise and digital tools they need to make better decisions. We aim to bring mine planning, simulation and technical knowledge into more connected workflows that support project value and responsible resource development.
Mining Expertise
Applying practical mining knowledge to project planning and development.
Connected Systems

The Orepath Story
From mining software development to technical advisory.
Founded in Perth, Western Australia, Orepath brings together mining engineering, software development and technical consulting. Our milestones trace the development of our Mining Simulator and the growth of our advisory services.
Orepath Founded in Perth
Daniel Narayan founded Orepath in Perth, Western Australia, following a decade spent creating and developing Alastri.
Mining Simulator Research & Development
Research and development began on a discrete-event mining simulator to test mine plans and assess the effects of haulage congestion and other operational bottlenecks.
Mining Simulator Launch & Advisory Services
Orepath secured its first client with long-term simulator licences and established its mining advisory services, bringing technical expertise and software development together to address project and operational challenges.
Software for Advisory Projects
We began developing proprietary mining software to address industry requirements and deploying it directly within advisory projects.
