About LithologIQ

LithologIQ is dedicated to enhancing geoscientific knowledge in exploration and mining activities through the application of cutting-edge technologies. Our mission is to facilitate economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable discoveries and productions. Leveraging advanced solutions developed from the latest sensor and algorithmic innovations, LithologIQ addresses the increasing demand for accelerated exploration and reduced risks in mine development.

Bringing together a team of experts in geoscience, engineering, and data science, we position ourselves as a leading partner in resolving the most challenging issues related to mineral knowledge. By utilizing a strategic combination of sensor technologies, we empower the mining industry to make faster decisions, control costs, overcome labor shortages, and promote sustainable development. LithologIQ provides mineral analysis as a service to the exploration and mining sector, offering on-site digitization of drill cores.

Why LithologIQ

We do believe that every project is unique and deserves its own methodology. 

The key is to discuss, adapt and deliver.

01

Actionnable information

 

Data is interpreted and reduced in a way to directly be usable by geologists

 

02

Precision and reliability

Reveal minerals invisible to the naked eye

Rely on the most advanced hyperspectral technologies

No  tedious algorithm training required

03

Fast and efficient

Fast acquisition, no sample preparation, simple handling of core boxes

Data delivery is streamlined with output format compatible with major modeling softwares

Our service

Hyperspectral core logging, operated directly at mine site.

With our mobile laboratory and qualified personnel, we pre-log the drill cores as soon as they arrive at the core shack at a rate of over 1500m per day, minimizing the impact on the actual workflow. Pre-logging brings :

  • Accelerate the work for geologists, working with pre-filled logs
  • Precise identification of alterations
  • Detection of alterations invisible to naked eyes
  • Uniformisation of core logs between geologists
  • Reduced mineralogy interpretation errors
  • Savings on assay fees by optimizing the sample selection

We scan

The mobile, containerized lab is installed right next to the core storage facility, and cores are scanned quickly to keep pace with large drilling projects or to digitize archives without disrupting the existing workflow.

Designed for high speed acquisition and data quality, our scanner incorporates the latest technologies in hyperspectral imaging sensors on a unique continuous flow of core boxes for optimal handling.

We analyse

Our unique and proprietary software allows for instant mineral identification based on the physical and chemical properties of the rocks, therefore: 

  • Quick project start : no site specific database building/training
  • Direct mineralogy determination
  • Reliable, accurate alteration mapping by mineral chemistry

We interpret

We make it our business to interpret the data in a meaningful way and deliver tangible, actionable information tailored to meet your needs.
We understand that our clients don’t have the time to post-process the data, they need reliable information to make decisions.

  • Easy to use indexes to express mineral alteration (e.g. 0-7 scale)
  • Data reduced to a manageable size


Mineralogical knowledge is the foundation, but we go beyond that: what does it mean in YOUR context?

We deliver

Deliverables are compatible with commonly used 3D modeling software, resulting in seamless integration from scanning to modeling.
Ready-to-use indices for quick decision making on :

  • Alteration tracking and vectoring
  • Sampling for assay
  • Rock hardness mapping
  • Relative abundance of deleterious minerals


Data Format

  • Non-proprietary
  • Raw data available on demand
