Why visit IMDEX at SEG 2026?

From characterisation to prediction. 

The conversation at SEG is not about collecting more data. It is about building confidence in geological understanding. 

IMDEX helps geologists capture, interpret and apply geological and geotechnical information across the entire exploration workflow. By connecting sensing, survey, structural data, mineralogy, geochemistry and machine-learning-driven characterisation, teams can move beyond isolated observations toward integrated orebody understanding. 

Because trusted characterisation is the foundation. Prediction is the outcome.

Featured technical presentation

Building Decision-Ready Rock Knowledge from the First Drill Hole 

What would you do differently if you could start a major exploration project with a clean sheet of paper? 

Join Ivanhoe Electric and IMDEX as they share how the Gleeson Project implemented an integrated geological technology stack from the first drill hole, connecting drilling, survey, logging, interpretation and modelling workflows into a single geological framework. 

Learn how high-quality data captured at the source can reduce uncertainty and support more confident exploration decisions.

Supporting the geological questions that matter 

  • Future of the mining workforce
    The challenge is not recruiting more geologists. It is helping them scale their expertise across the organisation, increasingly complex datasets and faster decision cycles.
  • Orebody knowledge
    Trusted models start with trusted rig data. IMDEX connects sensing, survey and analysis workflows to build confidence from borehole location through to ML-driven characterisation.
  • New technology & old deposits
    Legacy datasets remain one of exploration's most underutilised assets. Modern geological workflows can unlock new value from data already collected.
  • Framework geology for ore deposits
    Build geological frameworks from observations, not assumptions. Connect structure, mineralogy and geochemistry into a coherent geological understanding.
  • Keeping up with the commodities
    The organisations best positioned for future opportunities are those with the deepest understanding of their deposits today.

IMDEX Networking Event - High-Grade Cocktails and Ore d’Oeuvres
