Know the ground before you move it.

Reduce costs by covering your mineral resource ground reliably and rapidly — depth to bedrock, faults, excavation and hauling costs, ore and waste rock zones, and the condition of your earthen structures.

Mining & Resources

Cover more ground. Drill fewer holes.

ReMi® turns the ambient noise already on your site — heavy equipment, haul traffic, machinery — into continuous shear-wave velocity sections. That means a project-wide view of the subsurface between your drill holes, so you can target drilling where it matters and size excavation and blasting programs with confidence.

Deep ReMi® extends the same field method beyond 1,000 ft (300 m) for mineral exploration and water resource investigations, reducing drilling costs while providing critical subsurface insight for sustainable development.

What you can see

ReMi® for mining & resources.

01

Depth to bedrock

Map the vertical distance from surface to solid rock for excavation planning, foundations and groundwater flow.

02

Rippability

ASCE-published shear-wave parameters classify rippable, marginal and non-rippable zones — less unnecessary blasting and equipment wear.

03

Ore & waste rock zones

Constrain the location of ore and waste rock zones and estimate excavation and hauling costs.

04

Faults & discontinuities

Image potential faults to guide targeted trenching and reduce excavation costs.

05

Tailings & dam monitoring

Monitor earthen structures such as tailings retention dams, reservoir dams and tailings piles.

06

Voids

Detect voids in karstic environments and lava tubes before they become a hazard.
