Advanced sensing
Grade control sensors such as XRF, XRD, LIBS and hyperspectral scanners rely on AI calibration software to turn raw spectra into grade and mineralogy.

Automating Ore Sampling with Sensors and AI
Automated ore sampling replaces scoop-and-bag work with sensor-equipped shovels, robotic prep lines feeding inline XRF, and instrumented rigs like BLASTDOG.
Bench Slope Design
AI-assisted bench slope design uses ML models to generate rock-mass inputs like dip and dip-direction, then runs factor-of-safety analysis in RocScience.
Blasthole Logging
AI blasthole logging today mostly means AI-driven drilling: Hexagon Drill Assist sets drill parameters automatically from live rig-sensor data as it drills.
GeoMet Reports
Automate geometallurgical reports with Cancha, a geometallurgy platform that combines sample selection, predictive modelling and reporting in one workflow.
Geometallurgical Reconciliation
Geometallurgical reconciliation with AI feeds actual mill results back into Work Index and geomet block models, as Tropicana Gold Mine does near real time.
Geotechnical Monitoring
Geotechnical monitoring with AI runs slope radar (IDS GeoRadar) and satellite InSAR (SkyGeo) through ML layers so wall-failure warnings surface early.
Geotechnical Reports
Automate geotechnical reports by connecting Power BI or Tableau to your live geotechnical block model and monitoring feeds, so they regenerate on their own.
Monitoring Reports
AI-generated mine monitoring reports come built into slope radar and InSAR platforms like IDS GeoRadar and SkyGeo, produced straight from live sensor data.
Structural Mapping
AI structural mapping captures pit-wall point clouds in Maptek PointStudio or CSIRO's Sirovision, then extracts joint orientation and spacing automatically.
