Location

Knowing where your sample comes from in 3D space is critical. As you get deeper, the accuracy of that location becomes even more critical.  

IMDEX has been at the forefront of subsurface survey accuracy for over 30 years and continues to be an innovator in this space with the development of our OMNIx38 and DeviGyro solutions.

Structure & Texture

Understanding the structure of your rock is essential for developing accurate subsurface models to enable efficient orebody targeting.

The ACTx core orientation system, combined with accurate gyro surveys and LOGRx structural measurement solution, gives you ultimate confidence in the quality of the data you are collecting. 

IMDEX’s partnership with Datarock also enables the rapid capture and interpretation of geotechnical information, a key measure that can be used for safety and ore-recovery studies.

Chemistry

Geochemistry is still one of the most important things to know about your rock. 

Enhance exploration, analysis, and decision-making by leveraging our advanced geoscience technology for mining success. 

Mineralogy

Understanding which minerals are present in a rock, and in what quantity, is essential to knowing how a rock was formed and what to expect during drilling, mining and processing. 

Traditional mineralogical studies are slow and don’t allow the geoscientist in the field to make informed decisions.  Using a portable NIR device with aiSIRIS, geoscientists can collect near real-time information about the minerals in the rock.
