TECHNOLOGY
SMART PRECISION DRILLING
Data-driven hardware and software.
Surgical Mining?
Flexible, mobile and small.
Our unique technology integrates into conventional drilling equipment, making them able to pinpoint, map, navigate and extract high-value narrow vein deposits without the need for costly infrastructure.
how it works
our process.
PHASE 1
Vein Mapping
Our Near Borehole Imaging Tool (NBIT) collects subsurface data, defines ore-body geometry, and calculates optimal drill trajectory.
PHASE 2
SMART DRILLING
A conventional drill armed with our course-correction and control systems surgically extracts the deposit.
BACKFILLING
PROGRESSIVE BACKFILLING
Waste is used to ‘backfill’ the holes allowing progressive ‘real-time’ rehabilitation for surrounding environment.
Explore the many benefits of our technology
Economic benefits
- Unlocks stranded assets, avoiding costly exploration.
- Easily scalable, mobile equipment.
- Lower project risk & lower CAPEX.
- Reduces tailings costs & environmental liabilities.
- Faster ore-production & permitting.
- Increases production flexibility.
- Integrates quickly & easily into existing operations.
Environmental impact
- Minimal footprint & disruption.
- Waste/tailings returned to ground (reduces risk of tailings disasters).
Safety & social license
- Zero Entry Mine, operators remain above ground.
- No blasting, dust or noise pollution.
