Imdex Limited
Ensure execution of drilling programs to specification, on time, within budget and safely
As the cost of drilling increases, the need to improve productivity is paramount. Additional costs caused by higher operational standards, environmental restrictions and increased hole depths will continue.
As specialists in Drilling Optimisation, IMDEX’s vision is to ensure the execution of drilling programs to specification, on time, within budget and safely.
Our solution assists clients to:
- Hit targets accurately
- Drill as fast as the ground will allow
- Reduce down-time
- Be safe and environmentally responsible
- Deliver a cost effective quality drilling program and have the data to back it up.
IMDEX develops a range of software to assist in the ultimate goal of making critical decisions faster, with real-time data. Central to this concept is our award-winning cloud-based software IMDEXHUB-IQ™, supported by leading geoscience software ioGAS™ and a range of software to compliment our tools and devices. Within this ecosystem, we’re building a framework for success, integrating with industry-leading software applications such as Seequent’s Central platform and Micromine 2020.
The industry is facing an ongoing challenge to continually improve productivity, efficiency and safety. Ore grades are decreasing and becoming harder to find and recover, due to a lack of total deposit knowledge.
IMDEX enables precision mining by providing the most accurate and spatially dense model that has ever existed. IMDEX can help unlock the potential of your operation, utilising total deposit knowledge to guide the blast design, optimise blast outcomes and enhancing downstream processes.
The portfolio of mining technology solutions developed by IMDEX are transforming the way the industry undertakes drill and blast by utilising digital and automated technologies. This includes:
- Utilising the latest in best in breed gyro technologies
- Stabilising the walls of the hole using the IMDEX BHS™
- Obtaining Rock Knowledge using the Internet of Geosensing™ (IoG™) to optimise your blast in open pit and underground using the IMDEX BLAST DOG™.
Are you confident the structural data you are relying on for key business decisions is accurate and reliable? Have you ever had to wait days, or even weeks for results from the field before making decisions? Worse still, have you had to make a decision based on data you didn’t trust?
IMDEX has developed the end-to-end Structural Geology solution so resource companies can benefit from real-time, secure access to verified structural data directly from the field, improving operational efficiencies and reducing risk from manual intervention.
Do you find yourself making decisions without having all the necessary data available? IMDEX’s In-Field Geoanalysis solution saves you crucial time and resources during your drilling or sampling program, by providing the data you need, where and when you need it.
A rapid mobile sample preparation system consistently provides a quality sample for analysis that you can rely on without having to send the sample offsite. Coupled with REFLEX XRF CONNECT™ and the cloud based IMDEXHUB-IQ™ platform, you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Geological logging can be qualitative, slow and subjective, sometimes with little support for the first pass assessment of drilling material. Imagine knowing where your critical lithological boundaries are before you see the rocks?
The REFLEX EZ-GAMMA™ can be used alone or with the REFLEX GYRO GAMMA SHUTTLE™ to allow efficient and simultaneous survey and gamma logging that can be completed by a member of the drill crew.
This unique combination of instruments saves time and eliminates the need for a costly technician and logging truck.
Results are immediately available for approval via IMDEXHUB-IQ™ and for analysis in ioGAS™. Available tools such as wavelet tessellation analysis allow geoscientists to rapidly analyse and visualise critical lithological boundaries, perform cross correlation, as well as identify zones of alteration.
