Muon tomography for accurate subsurface imaging, mineral exploration, and monitoring of mining operations
Muon tomography offers a transformative approach to resource exploration and safety in the mining industry. It provides a non-invasive, precise, and reliable method to image subsurface structures and locate valuable mineral deposits.
Modern mining operations demand efficient and accurate tools to identify high-value resources while maintaining environmental sustainability. Traditional methods, such as seismic surveys and exploratory drilling, often lack precision, disrupt the environment, and carry significant costs.
Muon tomography uses naturally occurring cosmic ray particles to create detailed 3D images of underground formations. Unlike conventional techniques, it excels at penetrating dense geological structures, detecting subtle density variations critical for identifying resources such as gold, uranium, and rare earth elements. The technology also plays a vital role in monitoring mine safety, mapping voids, and identifying risks like subsidence or structural instability.
This approach minimizes environmental impact, reduces costs, and provides actionable insights for decision-making in modern mining operations.
We design and customize muon tomography hardware to address specific challenges.
