Improving Confidence in Geometallurgical Properties via Continuous Image Capture + Machine-Learning
VIDEO/ANIMATION OVERVIEW (2-MIN) THE PROBLEM Modern mining is a high-stress environment for its people and equipment. Operations must identify profitable material, extract it efficiently, and then recover the product at the lowest cost possible. Any setback...
Ideas to Capture Images of RC Cuttings
We at Imago -www.imago.live are always looking for ways to extract value from geoscientific imagery. Historically we have seen a focus on the capture of drill core photographs in the industry. However, very few sites take photos of RC cuttings. Some of our customers...
A Google Streetcar for Geologists?
At Imago, we are always looking for ways to extract value from geoscientific Imagery. With that in mind, we have an idea for what in essence would be a Google streetcar for geologists, using widely available and cheap ($300-400) GoPro cameras in conjunction with our...
Applications of Virtual Reality to Validating and Verifying Drilling Data
Last month I drafted a quick article sharing the results of a low resolution 3D scan of a core box. My intent was to get feedback on the application of these techniques to geologic data capture workflows. In response our colleague Jennifer Cross came up with an...Featured Posts
The Top 5 Cloud Technologies for Mining Geologists
The writing is clearly on the wall: cloud computing is here to stay. Here's our top 5 list of cloud-based software tools for the modern mining geoscientist. Read more

Capture thousands of feet of drill core with a high level of data consistency using specialized drill core photography software. Read more
Capturing a 3D Shape of a Core and Geotechnical Measurements
In some circumstances you want to capture a photograph of the core as soon as it is removed from the drill rod so you can preserve its features intact. The challenge was not only the powerful winds at the site but also the changes in sunlight during the day. Read more
Are Scaled Paper Logs for Geologists Dead?
In some circumstances you want to capture a photograph of the core as soon as it is removed from the drill rod so you can preserve its features intact. The challenge was not only the powerful winds at the site but also the changes in sunlight during the day. Read more
