Why it matters

The mining industry is constantly adapting. Past investments and efforts to improve access to new resources, environmental performance and positive social and economic impact have changed the face of the industry. And it’s not over yet.

At LithologIQ, we believe that innovation is one of the keys to bring even more success to this industry, considering that :

  • Technology can accelerate the rate of discovery
  • Industry needs a higher level of autonomisation to become more efficient and safer for workers
  • Autonomisation requires huge amounts of data to support decision making
  • Industry 4.0 is not just a trend: it is the future of industry and is supported by economic facts
  • The society calls for sustainable mining

Accurate, systematic and real-time knowledge of minerals is the basis for all of the above.

This is more than just mineral mapping of drill core. It’s our way of contributing to one of the world’s largest industries that has so many challenges but keeps up the pace of improvement in order to provide our society with the materials it needs. 

We like to think that we can contribute to the transition to sustainable mining, managing risk and building a better future where mining is community friendly.

By bridging the gap between the limited availability of high quality/coverage data and the growing need to reduce risk and improve efficiency, we are adding a whole new era of knowledge that was previously only available through expensive and time-consuming external laboratory services, we have the opportunity to transform current practices, whether the challenge is:

  • Modeling a complex deposit
  • Making discoveries faster and cheaper
  • Alleviating the problem of manpower by making the profession evolve towards digital technology, which is more attractive for the new generations
  • Helping the industry meet the demands of investors looking for companies with sustainable financials (ESG) by reducing the risks of mining projects
  • Optimizing operations on a cost or delay perspective
  • Improving geometallurgical processes
  • Reducing risk of environmental hazard
  • Optimizing energy consumption

Our way of doing business is to work closely with our clients to develop high value-added solutions, specifically designed for their needs, by providing the best and most accurate mineralogical knowledge that ties it all together.
