DownSight

In mineral exploration, many important decisions are required to determine a location’s viability for mining. Unfortunately, this relies on expensive drilling and slow chemical analysis which often returns scarce information to inform these decisions, leading to inefficient mining practices that comes with increased costs and environmental impact.

The DownSight tool takes the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technology to the field to be used alongside other tools for borehole analysis. The additional elemental information provided offers quick and enhanced datasets to guide mining strategies in meeting market demands for resources, whilst minimising costs and environmental damage during a mine’s lifecycle.
