Veracio, in partnership with Boart Longyear, participated in the international pavilion at Expomin 2025, in Santiago, Chile, last week, unveiling “Scan by Veracio”, a comprehensive core scanning solution built to enhance mining operations through automation, real-time imaging and advanced data analytics, it says.
“Scan by Veracio” combines tough, field-ready equipment with easy-to-use software to collect and process geological information as soon as core samples are taken, the company explains. This helps mining and geology teams work more efficiently, with fewer mistakes and faster, more accurate data.
“In exploration – and especially in production – every minute and every data point matters,” Eduardo Molina, Global Vice President of Commercial at Veracio, said. “Our solutions directly deliver accurate geochemical, mineralogical and structural information in the field, supporting faster, smarter decisions while cutting analysis time and costs.”
The system includes cloud-based data integration tools, in-field support platforms and next-generation geological logging technologies. This allows key geological data to flow seamlessly from the drill site to the office, enabling real-time decision making and boosting operational productivity with a more sustainable footprint.
A defining feature of the solution is its real-time geochemical scanning technology, which combines X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and hyperspectral analysis to produce high-precision mineral data within hours, without sending samples to a laboratory. The non-destructive nature of the technology allows for detailed mineral characterisation while preserving the core, enabling more efficient and responsible mining practices.
“With this innovation, we provide accurate mineral data without destroying the sample,” Molina added. “It’s a critical breakthrough as the industry faces increasing environmental and social scrutiny. We’re committed to delivering tools that not only drive efficiency but also support more intelligent, decarbonisation-aligned exploration strategies.”
