AI training for the mining industry

AI training for mining teams, executives and boards

Teach your people to use AI well, and your board to govern it.

QMAI, a Perth-based mining AI company, trains mining teams, executives and boards to use Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude well, and shows where domain-specific AI adds value.

Your people already use Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude, approved or not. We teach them to use those tools well, show them where general AI stops and domain-specific AI begins, and give your board what it needs to govern both.

What the industry finds

Only 15% of mines surveyed say they are already noticing the impact of AI.

Three modules, from everyday AI to governing it

Each module stands on its own. Together they take your organisation from using general AI safely to knowing when it needs something built for mining.

Module 01

Use the AI you already have

Practical skills in Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude, including where each one is genuinely strong.

Asking good questions and giving the right context
Checking answers and spotting confident errors
What not to paste in: confidential results, personal data, client IP
Data, privacy and retention settings that matter
Everyday wins: drafting, summarising, analysis

Module 02

Where general AI stops

A live, side-by-side exercise: the same mining question, on your own documents, in a general assistant and in a domain-specific system such as QMAI.

Mining know-how: does it understand the question?
Sources: can you check where the answer came from?
History: does it know which figure was superseded?
Memory: is the answer still there when the chat closes?
When general AI is enough, and when it is not

Module 03

Governing AI

For leaders and directors responsible for strategy, oversight and disclosure.

Where AI creates value across the mining value chain
Use-case registers, risk appetite and controls
Disclosure exposure when AI touches studies and announcements
The questions directors should ask management
Aligned to Australia's Guidance for AI Adoption

Case study: keeping leadership and the board informed and in control

Shaped for each level of the organisation

Every group sees the side-by-side exercise. The depth of the rest depends on the role.

How we deliver it

Your own examples

Sessions use your documents, decisions and use cases wherever possible, not generic demos.

Honest about every tool

We show what general assistants do well, not only where they fall short.

Kept current

These tools change monthly. Material is refreshed every quarter.

Mining and AI practitioners

Delivered in person or online by people with experience across mining, AI and board decision support.

Knowledge that stays

Every session leaves guides and checklists your people keep using after we leave.

A natural next step

Teams that want to go further can run a Knowledge Health Check on one of their own projects.

Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude are trademarks of Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic respectively. QMAI is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by these companies.

Who is this AI training for?

Technical teams (geologists, mining engineers, metallurgists and commercial staff), executives, and boards and company secretaries at mining companies, EPCM firms and technical consultancies.

Which AI tools does the training cover?

Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude, plus QMAI as an example of domain-specific AI for mining. The material is refreshed every quarter as the tools change.

Is Microsoft Copilot enough for mining technical work?

Copilot is good for drafting, summarising and everyday analysis. General assistants are not built for mining: they may miss mining context, cannot always show which figure has been superseded, and answers are not kept as a shared company record. Module 02 shows the difference on your own documents.

How do we train our board on AI governance?

Our board session covers the board's oversight role for AI, use-case registers, risk appetite, disclosure exposure when AI touches studies and announcements, and the questions directors should ask management. It is aligned to Australia's Guidance for AI Adoption.

Where is the training delivered?

QMAI is based in Perth, Western Australia. Sessions run at your office, on site or online.

Can the training use our own documents?

Yes. Wherever possible we use your own documents and decisions, handled under our security controls.
