COVID-19 has been held up as a major cause for what a mining equipment, technology and services player is calling a major structural shift in how the industry operates. The positive outlook for mining technology is also being driven by investment in decarbonisation metals including aluminium, cobalt, copper, nickel, and lithium; mining’s essential role in global economic recovery; and the minerals industry embracing new technologies. The structural shift has led the traditionally conservative mining industry to more rapidly embrace technology and innovation. IMDEX CEO Paul House said that structural shift had helped the METS company enjoy a strong first half […]

At least 120 countries and an increasing number of companies globally have committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, throwing the focus on the dramatic changes needed to achieve such an ambitious target. The International Energy Agency, in its World Energy Outlook 2020 report, said that reaching net zero emissions globally by 2050 would demand a set of dramatic actions over the next 10 years. Achieving a 40 per cent reduction in emissions by 2030 would require low-emission sources to provide nearly 75 per cent of global electricity generation in 2030 (up from less than 40 per cent in […]

Have you ever wondered about the diamonds in a diamond drill bit? Kelvin Brown, from IMDEX, has given this subject a lot of thought and he recently shared his ideas on what the future holds for drill bits and core sampling with GeoDrilling International. Unlike the James Bond theme song by Shirley Bassey, diamonds are not forever when it comes to diamond drilling. Companies continue to try to refine the synthetic diamond core bit, altering the size and concentration of the diamonds and the composition of the matrix, but as far as IMDEX global lead, Directional Drilling, Kelvin Brown is […]

Obtaining comprehensive ore body knowledge should not be seen as a cost, it is an investment that has the potential to avoid company-destroying mistakes, says mining and minerals processing expert Dr John Steen. He said the mining industry was struggling to attract new investment capital because it had a history of poor returns to shareholders. Recent analysis showed that much of this poor performance was attributable to write-downs on capital projects because of inadequate investment in gathering information about the orebody. While the industry paid a lot of attention to gathering data such as reserve size and grade to prove […]

Core logging can be highly subjective and the quality of the logging depends greatly on a geologist’s core logging experience. Combining near real-time data with rapid data analysis can support geologists by providing critical, repeatable and objective information prior to logging the core. In this webinar, IMDEX Product Managers Fred Blaine and James Cleverley will demonstrate powerful but simple to use workflows to enhance your core logging process; speeding up the logging process, while helping identify lithological units and key geological boundaries. Fred and James will demonstrate an end-to-end workflow from data collection to analysis and visualisation using REFLEX EZ-GAMMA, IMDEXHUB-IQ and IMDEX ioGAS. In […]
