AUGMENTING GEOLOGISTS

Lumo Analytics offers LIBS based drill core analysis solution capable of conducting elemental and mineral analysis to provide instant results to support core logging in operating mine sites and ore exploration projects.

Our solution consists of an on-site drill core scanner that utilizes laser scanning technology to gather rock sample information, paired with analysis software that identifies, quantifies, and classifies elemental and mineral composition. This enables us to provide fast and highly accurate information about ore bodies, empowering the mining industry towards sustainable practices. By optimizing mining operations based on accurate ore body information, we can reduce mining volumes, waste rock, and chemical usage while maximizing the extraction of valuable materials and characterizing waste rock for its reuse and recycling.

OUR SOLUTION

Our service provides geologists insights, which are useful for steering ore exploration campaign or research project. Those insights are elemental and mineral composition and quantification. This information is useful also for the mining engineers planning and optimizing the mining and the process plant benefits for the more accurate information on the mineralogy and geochemistry of the feed – this helps in optimizing the processing and hence reduces the electricity and chemical consumption at the processing plant.

We have prioritized ease of use, ensuring that our device can be operated with minimal training. Geologists and technicians can quickly adapt to the apparatus, maximizing productivity on-site. Furthermore, our cloud-based analysis service offers a cost-efficient solution for drill core analysis regardless of location. By leveraging cloud computing capabilities, we provide timely and reliable results, empowering geologists with actionable insights for informed decision-making in core logging and sampling.

LumoScanner and LumoUI are a seamless pair of a state of the art drill core scanner and visualization software that together form the Lumo Analytics Drill Core Scanner.

Elemental analysis With LIBS based core scanning solution you get the elemental composition of the drill cores instantly, without waiting for weeks for the results to come back from the laboratory. The advantage of LIBS over other methods, like XRF is that you get also the light elements, like Lithium and Beryllium accurately and reliably.

Mineralogical analysis With our innovative and reliable algorithms you can get the mineral composition of your drill cores right after the scanning. This makes the core logging process faster. Lumo Analytics' unique service is based on the site-specific adaptation of the mineral library. Together with the customer we adapt our models to match the geology of your site and deposit type.
