Not Seeing the True Value of Your Drill Core?
See What's Really in Your Core
Discover What Your Core is really hiding. Stack the odds in your favour with our full-range hyperspectral core imaging solutions.
We don’t just show you the surface of your core; we reveal the hidden minerals within—from fine-grained alteration minerals to subtle compositional variations, even the mineralogical clues that point to bigger deposits. TerraCore’s expertise makes us the leader in combining the alteration mineralogy of the Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) with the rock-forming mineralogy of the Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR), to give you a full hyperspectral mineralogy picture of your core and chips.
Our imaging solutions help transform and optimise your operations, and ultimately provide you with results for smarter decision making
Exploration
Drilling blind? With our full-range core imaging solutions, you'll gain a crystal-clear understanding of your project, allowing you to pinpoint mineralization and lithology changes with precision. This means a better understanding of your geology, improved decision making, and a whole lot less frustration. Bottom line: you'll find what you're looking for—faster and cheaper.
Mining Optimization And Geometallurgy
In mining and geometallurgy, knowledge is profit. Our full-range hyperspectral core imaging technology generates continuous mineralogical data—the raw material for building accurate predictive models. This allows you to optimise every step of your process—mining, processing, grade control, waste management and more. The result? Maximum resource recovery, reduced risk, and a healthier bottom line.
Energy
Whether evaluating a well for geothermal or petroleum, get a detailed, continuous view of your reservoir's geology. Not only can you see minerals of fine-grained shales and siltstones, but you can also see subtle compositional and grain size shifts in carbonates and silicates—the knowledge you need to optimise resource evaluation, assess reservoir potential with certainty and maximise production. silicates—the knowledge you need to optimise resource evaluation, assess reservoir potential with certainty and maximise production.
Digital Core Libraries
Understanding the past is the key to unlocking the future. Hyperspectral Core Imaging provides the ability for geological knowledge of your samples to live on for eternity. TerraCore creates a virtual library of your core so you can be sure that you always have access to all of your samples at the touch of a button. Our IntelliCore® software allows you to view your core at anytime from anywhere, collaborate with team members around the globe, or make the data available for public use.

the TerraCore Difference: Geologists Who Get It—and Get Results
Our team—a mix of seasoned spectral geologists, data scientists, and industry veterans—knows the challenges you face, the questions you ask, and the frustrations you encounter when traditional methods fall short. We’re here to work with you through the process, get you what you need and make you look great!
Don’t let logistical hurdles slow you down. Our modular systems can be easily transported anywhere—plane, train, boat or helicopter. We’ll set up shop on-site in a non-disruptive manner and image your core at an industry-leading pace of 1,000 metres per shift. Alternatively, we’ll send your core to one of our convenient lab locations for expert imaging and analysis. Your choice.
Ready to take control of your core analysis? Our customisable systems are available for rent or purchase, so you can choose the option that best suits your project needs and budget. Start with a basic setup and add on sensors—RGB, Visible-Near Infrared (VNIR), Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR), Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR), Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR), 3D profiler—as needed. We’ll also help you design a system that’s perfect for your project.
Hyperspectral data is only valuable if you know how to use it. That’s why our seasoned geologists are here to help you interpret complex mineral signatures, pinpoint subtle alteration patterns, ensure consistent output, extract the maximum value from your data, and answer all your burning questions. Basic spectral consultation comes with all projects to ensure that initial project goals and expectations are met. Have more complex mineralogy needs or need larger geomet analysis? We’re here to help.
The cloud-based IntelliCore® application is designed for managing and visualising all your geological data. Store high resolution core photographs or seamlessly integrate your hyperspectral imagery with other datasets like geochem or assay data for a 360-degree view of your project. Share findings, collaborate in real time and streamline everything from exploration to production.
