MinExMod

Finding mineral deposits that are buried beneath the earth’s surface is challenging, due to the large search space and the high cost of conventional exploration techniques. An alternative approach is to use computer simulations of geological processes to identify areas where mineral deposits are likely to occur.

Blasthole Radar

Borehole radar allows accurate positioning of blast holes in overburden meaning better blast results, less waste, and more recoverable coal
