About Opencontour

Founded in 2016 by mining engineer Russ Downer and Maria Echavarria, Opencontour was incubated at the University of Utah's Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute. It is a cloud-native startup focused specifically on open-pit mining and heap leach operations. Opencontour is the software company; Forte Dynamics is the associated engineering consulting firm sharing the same founding team.

Opencontour differentiates through cloud-based delivery (web browser access, no installation), monthly subscription pricing with no long-term commitments, and a unique specialisation in heap leach pad stacking and recovery modelling.
