MineIQ — national mining oversight for Nigeria.

eGate is proud to announce the launch of MineIQ, our AI-driven, fully integrated mining-oversight platform, now rolling out in Nigeria in one of Africa's most ambitious mining digital transformations.

MineIQ is the Nigeria deployment of LoderaIQ, our own mining-intelligence platform, delivered with our strategic partner in Nigeria, Milky-Way. Powered by drones, satellite imagery and AI, it covers the entire mining lifecycle — from exploration to the last truck out — giving the country a single system to oversee its mining sector end to end.

Engineered, not off-the-shelf

Drones, sensors and mission control — one system.

This is not off-the-shelf hardware. eGate has engineered deep integration across drones, sensors and mission control as one system. Missions are planned end to end — route, waypoints, altitude and automated triggers set for each sensor — with live in-flight control designed to reroute the drone or adjust any onboard sensor on the fly, from camera to magnetometer to LiDAR.

End-to-end mission planning — route, waypoints & altitude
Automated capture triggers, set per sensor
Live in-flight re-routing & sensor control
One payload: camera · magnetometer · LiDAR · XRF

One platform, the full operation

From discovery to the last truck out.

Discovery

Aerial survey and AI geological interpretation to identify mineral targets.

Continuous monitoring

Tracking pit expansion, machinery, excavation and stockpiles over time.

Legality & compliance

Detecting illegal mining and checking activity against licence boundaries.

Live imagery & AI analysis

Drones carry high-resolution cameras, magnetometers and LiDAR. The magnetometer maps subsurface deposits to locate ore bodies and estimate their size; LiDAR captures precise terrain and volumes; on-site XRF identifies mineral grade and soil composition for ground inspections.

Secure logistics

Postagy for Mining runs the full chain of custody. Trips are requested and approved by authorities, with royalties settled upfront, before a QR or RFID movement permit is issued and verified at every checkpoint — mine gate to road to export port, where an export permit closes the cycle — while drones provide aerial security of convoys in transit.

Unified oversight

Every stage feeds one platform, giving governments real-time visibility, protecting royalties, and flagging diversion for rapid response.

A better-governed industry

More than a platform launch.

This is a step toward a more accountable, better-governed mining industry — in Nigeria and across Africa. Delivered with our strategic partner in Nigeria, Milky-Way, and everyone who made this milestone possible.
