Both operational geometarllurgy and resource geometarllurgy can benefit from predictive models that provide greater information and insight into orebody feasibility.

Hyperspectral imaging serves to provide holistic data related to mineralogy, makeup and texture. This is greatly beneficial to the mining and extraction processes, for example, as the mineral makeup impacts factors such as blastability and communition throughput.

Hyperspectral imaging connects lab tests with information from core that has been drilled or cut for analysis.

Mining parameters can be created from hypersepctral data by mapping deleterious phases, as well as linking the collected data to geochemistry or mathematical data. We have worked with many mining companies to apply hyperspectral imaging of core to their geometallurgical needs with our equipment, software and consulting services.
