Perth, Western Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2025) - Global mining-tech company IMDEX (ASX: IMD) (OTC Pink: IMDXF) (ST: IDG) and world-class geoscience analytics company Datarock are delighted to announce a collaboration with leading scanning technology vendor ELEMISSION.
This collaboration aims to simplify and accelerate access to the knowledge held within the rich and extensive data sets obtained by ELEMISSION, so that these technologies can be more readily integrated into day-to-day exploration and production workflows to assist the delivery of timely and actionable insights for mining customers.
Announcing the collaboration at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada conference, Datarock Chief Executive Officer Liam Webb said he was excited to see the benefits of collaboration with ELEMISSION flowing through to mining customers.
"Datarock and ELEMISSION are setting a new standard for collaboration between geological data providers and analytical solutions, helping mining companies tackle the industry's most pressing challenges," Mr Webb said.
Datarock has developed best in class ML/AI infrastructure to process geoscientific data. Working with Datarock, clients turn mining data into solutions for their exploration and mining projects, providing data driven decisions for better insights and efficiencies. These solutions take readily available datasets and enhance them, allowing high value information to be accurately predicted across the entirety of an orebody.
ELEMISSION has pioneered laser-powered and AI-enhanced Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) imaging, providing accurate, automated mineralogy and geochemistry for exploration, exploitation and remediation. Its technology is trusted by several Tier 1 mining companies to deliver accurate and precise, real-time insights that optimise decision-making across the mining value chain.
ELEMISSION Chief Executive Officer François Doucet said: "We are pleased to be collaborating with Datarock and IMDEX. By integrating ELEMISSION's advanced LIBS technology with Datarock's AI-driven data processing, we are unlocking new possibilities for timely, high-resolution mineralogical and geochemical insights that drive smarter exploration and mining decisions."
IMDEX Chief Strategy Officer Michelle Carey said such collaborations are driven by the desire to provide exploration and mining companies with validated, reliable information as quickly as possible.
"These arrangements are the start of what we hope will be a common framework to increase accessibility to improved actionable data," Dr Carey said.
"IMDEX believes that resources companies want to see technology providers work in an open ecosystem. We are proud to be a part of this announcement with forward thinkers ELEMISSION and will continue to pursue opportunities to collaborate with other like-minded organisations."
