Ideon Activates REVEAL™ for Caving Solution at Australia’s First Block Cave Mining Operation
Canadian subsurface intelligence leader Ideon Technologies has activated its supernova-powered solution for subsurface cave imaging at Evolution Mining Northparkes Operations in New South Wales, Australia. This is the world’s first commercial in-mine muon tomography system deployment, taking place just three months after the release of the REVEAL™ for Caving solution and successful field trial results.
The Ideon REVEAL™ for Caving solution allows mining companies to remotely monitor progression of cave propagation in 4D, significantly reducing geological uncertainty in understanding the rock volume and how it is evolving in and around the cave over time. It delivers a high-resolution, high-volume, high-velocity Earth model that delineates the location of the cave relative to both the background geology and the target ore body. In turn, this understanding gives mine operators the ability to mitigate emerging geotechnical risk, achieve greater production predictability, and proactively manage cave growth.
