G Mining Services is a Canadian-based specialized mining consultancy and construction firm supporting mining projects from exploration and feasibility through detailed engineering, construction, commissioning and operations. Its capabilities span mine engineering, metallurgy and processing, detailed engineering, construction management, logistics and economic studies.

Summary

Mining engineering organizations accumulate significant institutional knowledge across years of project delivery - engineering studies, calculations, specifications, drawings, reports, spreadsheets, technical correspondence, equipment documentation and construction records.

For G Mining Services, that knowledge existed across multiple historical mining projects and document repositories. Although the information was available to the organization, finding the right engineering precedent often depended on knowing which project contained the information, where it was stored and what terminology had originally been used.

Following an initial proof of concept, Cylix developed the production architecture for an Engineering AI Retrieval-Augmented Generation platform designed to transform this historical project information into an accessible enterprise engineering knowledge system. The platform allows authorized users to ask natural-language engineering questions and retrieve contextual answers grounded in G Mining's own historical project documentation - while preserving links between AI-generated responses and the underlying source material.

Solution Implemented

Problem Statement

Mining engineering projects generate enormous volumes of technical documentation throughout the project lifecycle. As projects accumulate, valuable engineering knowledge becomes distributed across individual project repositories, folders and document-management systems. Engineers searching for previous design approaches, technical specifications, calculations or comparable project conditions may need to manually search large document collections or rely on colleagues who remember where similar work was previously performed. The challenge becomes increasingly significant when the organization has delivered projects across different commodities, jurisdictions, engineering disciplines and stages of mine development. G Mining required a way to turn its historical engineering archive into a reusable organizational knowledge asset without requiring engineers to manually search hundreds of gigabytes of historical documents. The solution also needed to scale beyond a single proof-of-concept dataset and support continuous ingestion of new and existing project information from enterprise document repositories such as M-Files.

Strategic Outcomes
Institutional engineering knowledge becomes reusable
Historical project information can be surfaced across project boundaries rather than remaining locked inside individual document repositories.
Natural-language access to engineering information
Engineering teams can investigate historical information conversationally without having to know exact file names, project folder structures or historical terminology.
Source-grounded enterprise AI
Responses are generated using retrieved G Mining project information, allowing users to validate answers against the underlying engineering sources rather than relying solely on generalized model knowledge.
Multi-project semantic search
The system can identify relevant information based on engineering meaning and context rather than depending exclusively on conventional filename or keyword searches.
Enterprise document-management integration
M-Files connectivity creates a path for incorporating existing and future engineering projects into the AI knowledge environment while maintaining the organization's document-management workflows.
Foundation for engineering knowledge retention
Experience that may previously have depended heavily on individual employee knowledge becomes increasingly accessible as organizational knowledge.
Scalable AI architecture
The architecture was designed to progress from an initial multi-project corpus containing hundreds of gigabytes of information toward significantly larger engineering repositories as adoption expands.

What Makes the Solution Different

Not a Generic AI AssistantThe system was designed around G Mining's engineering knowledge, not unrestricted internet information.
Retrieval Before GenerationEngineering questions first trigger retrieval against approved internal project information, providing the AI with relevant project context before a response is generated.
Source TraceabilityRelevant documents can be associated with responses so engineers can move from an AI explanation directly to the authoritative source material.
Engineering-Aware MetadataProject, document and engineering context can be indexed alongside semantic content, improving retrieval across complex technical repositories.
Human Engineering Judgment Remains CentralThe platform accelerates discovery and knowledge retrieval; it does not replace professional engineering review or authorize engineering decisions autonomously.
