Operational-grade traceability from active pit face to vessel — built for the mining and downstream processing operations that can't afford blind spots. OECD Steps 1–3 enforced through hard gates, not self-declaration.
It is structural.
Mining operations across Africa lose significant value to untracked movements, unreconciled stockpiles, and compliance documentation that cannot withstand scrutiny. Every tonne that moves without a verified record is a tonne that can be declared at any weight, any grade, to any destination.
Regulators, refiners, and institutional buyers now require verifiable chain of custody from source to shipment. The EU Critical Raw Materials Act, OECD due diligence frameworks, and CRAFT standards for ASM gold have moved from voluntary to expected. Most operations cannot meet that standard today.
True Source closes that gap — not with a reporting layer built on top of operations, but with enforcement built into every movement, every weigh, every seal.
Declared weights no system cross-checks against dispatch or stockpile receipt.
Balances edited manually with no ledger of what entered, left, or when.
Loads dispatched that never arrive — and no system flags the absence.
No payment trail, no cooperative record, no AML evidence at refiner settlement.
Forms filled after the fact — not evidence generated during operations.
Every module interlinked, every transaction immutable, every exception traceable — from active face to vessel. Accessible on any device, in any condition.
Face commissioning with geofenced load creation. Shift-plan destination pre-assigned by site coordinator. Dump confirmation posts automatically to the stockpile ledger. No manual net weight edits. Variance flagged at every handover.
Pure transaction model — no editable balances. INFLOW_DUMP, PLANT_DRAW, rehandle, adjustment, reversal — every event permanent. Negative balances trigger a hard block on all outflows automatically, without exception.
Feed windows linked directly to crushed ore stockpile. Lab certificate upload mandatory before records become immutable. Assay corrections create new versions — no overwrite ever. Four-point reconciliation enforced automatically.
Warehouse receiving closes the upstream dispatch loop. Stuffing, VGM, and terminal gate-in — each an irreversible state transition. Dossier auto-compiles full lineage: Face → Stockpile → Feed → Assay → Port → Vessel.
ASM gold field intake, bag-level sealing and QR verification. Child/mother lot structure. First control point at depot intake. Hard gates enforce seal, GPS, weight, assay, and payment. AML evidence pack auto-generated at settlement.
Every anomaly system-generated, timestamped, and tracked. GPS outside geofence, missing dump confirmation, duplicate seal, negative stockpile balance — all automatically raised. Nothing deleted. Every resolution on record.
Not a reporting tool. The operational control layer itself — built for the field, defensible in any audit.
No load creation, dump confirmation, or feed window outside authorised coordinates. Physical presence verified by the system — not a supervisor who may not be present.
Travel time anomalies, stockpile discrepancies, and weight variances flagged automatically — generating exceptions that block forward movement.
Every transaction, exception, and resolution permanently logged. No deletion permitted. Corrections use reversal pattern — both entries visible in perpetuity.
Built for remote African field conditions. Pre-allocated seal ranges. After login, the platform operates fully offline. Field actions sync automatically when connectivity is restored.
Hard gate enforcement — not self-declaration. Entity governance, CAHRA identification, CAPA tracking, and source entity registry built into every operation.
True Source is deployed at your operation — not connected from a cloud dashboard. Your team operates it in the field from day one. Here is what that looks like.
Your sites, users, cooperatives, weighbridges, and threshold configs are entered once. GPS geofences drawn on a map. Role-based access assigned. Takes 5–6 days per site.
Operators record loads, seals, weights, and dispatches on mobile devices. After login, everything works offline. No paper. No reconstruction. Every action timestamped and GPS-tagged at the moment it happens.
The system reconciles weight, grade, and volume automatically at shift close, dispatch, and arrival. Variances are classified and flagged. Exceptions require documented resolution before the chain moves forward.
At vessel loading, a complete shipment dossier is auto-generated: lot lineage, weight reconciliation, assay records, OECD compliance evidence, payment trail, and transport custody. Ready for your buyer, bank, or auditor.
"True Source does not promise to eliminate theft. It promises something more commercially honest and technically defensible: a system where manipulation becomes visible, variance becomes explainable, and every anomaly leaves a permanent record."
Transparent and verifiable supply chains don't just satisfy regulators — they unlock preferential financing, stronger offtake terms, and market access that opaque operations cannot reach.
True Source is built for Sub-Saharan Africa's critical minerals sector — where operational complexity is high, compliance pressure is growing, and the infrastructure to meet it has not existed. Until now.
The EU's Critical Raw Materials Act, Global Gateway partnerships, and OECD due diligence frameworks are reshaping what African mineral exporters must demonstrate to access European markets. True Source generates that evidence operationally — not through form-filling, but through verified material movement from source to shipment.
Offline-first with pre-allocated seal ranges. Optimistic local execution with server-side reconciliation. Designed for sites where connectivity is intermittent, power is unreliable, and the nearest town is hours away — not assumed to have the infrastructure of a developed market.
Active engagement with mining and revenue authorities across the region on traceability policy alignment and data-sharing frameworks — positioning True Source as the operational infrastructure the regulatory mandate will require, not a vendor seeking a referral.
True Source is active across Sub-Saharan Africa's critical minerals belt — built on more than a decade of on-the-ground operational experience spanning mining, trading, and export across multiple jurisdictions. Not a platform parachuted in. Infrastructure built from inside the industry.
