Digital drill core analyzer
Digital core analyzer is a solution that allows automatizing the process of primary core analysis and improving the quality and increasing the quantity of the data obtained in the process of the core analysis.
The goal of the analyzer is to improve the quality of the geological modeling and production planning data input and achieve the economic effect by saving due to reduction of metallurgical tests amount.
Photographing and further analysis of the core images with the help of AI can:
Identify geological characteristics of materials (RQD, lithology) and create reports with it further transfer to the database; Make calculations on possible % of gold recovery from the particular core interval.
Automatisation allows increasing index accuracy up to 70%.
