Mining & Geotechnical Solutions

The exploitation of mineral resources requires careful planning and monitoring in order to maximize the returns and minimize cost and risks. Resources are increasingly exploited in more complex environments, deeper operations and with lower grade resources. ExGeo can assist stakeholders through all stages of mining operations, from feasibility and excavation design using numerical models, design of seismic monitoring arrays, processing and analysis of results.

ExGeo has supplied a continuous stream of real-time information that help mining and ground control engineers understand how the mine responds to excavation and extraction operations. These feature cost-effective 24-bit resolution hardware and robust software and are available as turn-key solutions. These results enable engineers to effectively plan mine operations, decrease costs and assess hazards.

Services for the mining industry:

  • Real-time seismic monitoring
  • Analysis of induced fracturing geometry and mechanism from seismic data
  • Monitoring and assessment of rockburst and subsidence risk
  • Predictive numerical models of caving propagation
  • Design, optimisation and provision of seismic monitoring arrays
