Sovereign AI for the Gulf's third economic pillar.
Geological survey data and metallurgical recipes are strategic national assets. Iftah runs AI inside mine sites, smelters, and corporate data centers across the GCC — turning subsurface intelligence, OT telemetry, and ESG records into governed insight that never leaves national borders. The IP stays the operator's.
Built for sovereign mineral data
- Geological data stays a national asset
- NCA ECC-2 & OTCC for site OT
- Metallurgical IP never leaves the plant
- Edge bare-metal that survives link loss
Designed for the regimes that govern mineral wealth.
Iftah does not certify compliance — that stays the operator's obligation. In-country deployment, OT controls, and an immutable audit trail give MIM, auditors, and JV partners concrete evidence.

Sovereign geodata exposed
Survey data, drill-core assays, and reserve models fed into public SaaS risk exposing sovereign exploration intelligence.
Every model and dataset is pinned to an in-country region or on-site cluster, honoring residency and the strategic-asset status of geological data.
OT under critical-infra controls
Site OT falls under NCA OTCC; generic SaaS can't demonstrate the segmentation, residency, and audit it demands.
One governance layer maps to NCA ECC-2:2024 and OTCC-1:2022, evidencing segmentation, access, and residency for site OT.
Metallurgical IP leaks
Beneficiation parameters and process recipes become leakage the moment they transit a multi-tenant model.
Centralized guardrails keep exploration coordinates, reserve figures, offtake terms, and metallurgical IP out of prompts, logs, and shared context.
Latency at remote sites
Remote pits and plants run over intermittent links where round-tripping telemetry defeats real-time safety.
Bare-metal inference at the edge delivers sub-second safety and process decisions that survive connectivity loss.
Unprovable ESG figures
ESG, emissions, and tailings reporting need a defensible record of which model produced which figure.
An immutable, auditable record of model, version, and data backs every ESG, emissions, reserve, or safety output.
From corporate cloud to air-gapped plant floor.
Match each workload to its site — and govern all of it from one plane.
In-country sovereign region
Corporate analytics and copilots in the required jurisdiction.
Hybrid across sites
Pits, smelters, and corporate clouds governed as one fleet.
Bare metal on-site
Inference on GPUs inside the plant — haul-truck vision and process control at the edge.
Air-gapped OT
Isolated site OT where NCA OTCC requires it — no public-network path.
Site and corporate AI that stays in-country.
- AI-assisted exploration
Targeting over hyperspectral, geophysical, and SGS datasets while subsurface intelligence stays in-country.
- Predictive maintenance
Crushers, mills, conveyors, haul fleets, and smelter pot-lines, run on-site to cut downtime.
- Computer-vision safety
PPE, exclusion zones, and tailings-dam stability with edge inference that survives link loss.
- Process optimization
Flotation, leaching, and smelting tuned from live OT telemetry without exporting metallurgical IP.
- ESG & tailings reporting
Audit-ready emissions, water, and tailings reporting aligned to MIM and investor expectations.
- Sovereign RAG copilots
Over geological reports, drill logs, permits, and JORC/NI-43-101-style resource statements.
