RIEGL APPS FOR REAL TIME ANALYSIS , PROCESSING , AND VISUALIZATION
BoxScan technology has been deployed in the Arctic , with De Beers Group using it to scan 1,450 m of drill core samples from its Chidliak diamond project during an eight-week resource evaluation program
geological assessment capabilities , but also demonstrated their commitment to using cutting-edge technology for optimal resource evaluation .
“ The BoxScan ’ s ability to provide detailed insights whilst maintaining core sample integrity strongly aligns with De Beers ’ sustainable mining goals .”
Now that the drilling campaign at Chidliak has ended , De Beers has relocated the BoxScan to its Calgary petrology laboratory . The system will be logging legacy core from the same kimberlite to increase the knowledge and provide quantitative data sets for interpretation , according to Geotek .
Integrating people and machines
Orexplore believes it is creating significant downstream benefits for mining companies by strategically positioning its GeoCore X10 ® hardware – and Orexplore Insight ® 3D volumetric modelling software – primarily at the core shed .
The ASX-listed company , a spin out of Swick Mining ( now under ownership of Perenti ), has been developing “ differentiated technology , delivering unique solutions ” for more than 10 years , with over A $ 50 million ($ 33 million ) invested over this time frame .
Now transitioning from the commercial traction phase into the scaling phase , Orexplore is intent on augmenting as well as upending some of the traditional steps in the exploration , mine development and operations stages , according to Managing Director , Brett Giroud .
“ When looking at applications involving sample optimisation and assay proxies for resource and reserve development in a regulatory submission context , yes , core scanning and the associated analysis we are providing are likely to augment the traditional laboratory-based processes ,” he told IM .
