What Blockhead Technologies does

Blockhead Technologies is a privately held software company, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada with a secondary base in Leederville, Western Australia, that builds blockchain-enabled ESG and supply chain provenance technology for the mining and precious metals sectors. The company's product architecture is anchored by STAMP, a blockchain-agnostic core data and reporting engine that ingests data from IoT devices, ERP systems, databases, and spreadsheets, and which underpins a suite of modules: STAMP ESG for real-time environmental accounting, STAMP Fuel for blockchain-enabled fuel tracking, Carbon Management, Real-time Analytics & Reporting, and Supply Chain Provenance. The flagship commercial product is ProvCheck, an AI-powered gold authentication platform that creates a unique digital fingerprint for each 1kg bullion bar using high-resolution surface-feature imagery captured at manufacture and matched via smartphone during verification; ProvCheck is accredited by the London Bullion Market Association as a Security Feature under the Gold Bar Integrity Initiative. The company's primary customers are gold miners, refiners, and bullion buyers/institutional investors, with ABC Refinery (part of the Pallion Group) serving as both the cornerstone reference customer and the long-standing co-development partner.

The company monetises ProvCheck primarily through enterprise subscription contracts with miners, refiners, and bullion buyers, with ancillary transactional revenue from a Trovio Ltd-powered carbon offset integration that allows bullion holders to offset the carbon footprint of purchased gold. Sales are conducted via direct enterprise field sales with a personalised demo funnel, pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed, and there is no self-serve or reseller channel. Blockhead is also developing a tokenised mining royalty platform in partnership with Prospex, expanding the addressable surface from provenance authentication into mining financial instruments. Leadership includes co-founder and CEO Greg Leach (previously founder of ASX-listed Empired Limited), Chair Warrick Hazeldine (capital markets veteran and founder of the Gold Industry Group), and CTO James Allen (PhD, data science and blockchain). The company operates as an independent, founder-led private entity with no disclosed institutional funding rounds, parent company, or public listing.
