Corporate · The mining story

From a website to the mine

Since 2019, a lot of Connor's work has been in mining: websites and brands for mining companies, a front-row seat to a $20M acquisition and a $1.1B merger, time studies underground and now custom software and AI for the Galena Mine in Idaho.

Prologue

Your guide

Connor Clewett

I build websites, software and AI tools. Since 2019, a lot of that work has been in mining.

Mining is real work at a massive scale. I like building things that help the people doing it.

Act I · The surface

2019 · Where it started

Paragon Geochem

My first mining project: a website for a geochemistry company.

One website, and I wanted to understand the whole industry.

Brought on board

Karora Resources

Website and corporate presentation design for a gold producer in Western Australia.

The decks taught me how a mining company tells its story to investors.

Word got around

Bendito + White Pine

Websites for two more teams: Bendito Resources and White Pine Metals.

Act II · The deals

Bendito Resources

Azure Minerals $20M

Part of the team as Bendito acquired Azure Minerals Ltd.

Seeing a deal come together up close changed how I saw the work.

Karora Resources

Westgold merger $1.1B

With Karora through its merger with Westgold.

From a website to a billion-dollar merger, with the same people.

The spin-out

Culico Metals

A brand from scratch: logo, brand guidelines and website.

Act III · Underground

December 2024 · Galena Mine, Idaho

Americas Gold + Silver

The same team bought AGS. I went underground at the Galena Mine to run time studies on productivity.

Underground you see where every minute goes. That's where software can help.

Act IV · What's next

Now

AI for mining

Software for the Galena Mine: contract and bonus pay from live data, plus RFID tramming tracking on three levels.

The time studies showed me the gaps. Now I build the tools that close them.

Your operation

What I'm building at Galena is for the whole industry. Still running on spreadsheets or guesswork? Let's fix it.

AI and custom software, built with the people underground, not just for them.
