An industry first for structural logging in exploration

Posted on 15 Feb 2017

Imdex integrates its trusted technologies providing a unique end-to-end solution for clients. Imdex launched its end-to-end STRUCTURAL-IQ solution at the Mining INDABA event held in Cape Town last week. It says “the solution is unique to the global minerals industry and provides significant benefits to clients including real-time, secure access to verified structural data directly from the field.”

Commenting on the launch of Imdex’s STRUCTURAL-IQ SOLUTION, the company’s Global Manager for Integrated Solutions, Michelle Carey, said: “Our integrated solution will ensure resource companies have confidence in the accuracy of the data they are relying on to make critical drilling and mine planning decisions.

“It will also provide clients with operational efficiencies – key workflow processes will be automated and data can be provided in real-time for faster, intelligent decision making. Simply put, resource companies will be able to extract maximum value from their data while enjoying the economic benefits.”

REFLEXHUB-IQ is central to this solution. The award winning cloud-based Hub stores: core orientation quality control data obtained from the REFLEX ACT core orientation tool; survey measurement data from REFLEX’s leading survey instrumentation; and structural data from the REFLEX IQ-Logger.

All of this securely stored data can then be accessed in real-time from the office or the field and seamlessly integrated utilising REFLEX ioGAS software and its Stereonet functionality to complete advanced interpretation and analysis. Imdex’s STRUCTURAL-IQ SOLUTION also integrates into any interpretative 3D modelling software.

Importantly, Imdex’s STRUCTURAL-IQ SOLUTION contains in-built QA/QC processes, together with workflow automations to reduce risks associated with errors from manual intervention. This is vital when making crucial decisions involving ore-reserve estimation, geotechnical mine design, mine planning and safety.

An additional feature of Imdex’s STRUCTURAL-IQ SOLUTION is AMC’s COREWELL System, which provides unrivalled protection of the core during recovery. This allows clients to maintain the integrity of their samples and maximise the structural data gathered.
