On Site Core Scanning
As the lifeblood of drilling campaigns, the TruScan™ offers unparalleled precision, allowing geologists and mining professionals to extract richer, more detailed data from drill cores than ever before. This high-resolution insight translates into enhanced decision-making, ensuring that drilling campaigns are more targeted, resourceful, and yield better results.
Paired with Data + AI, core logging moves from being a traditionally labor-intensive and time-consuming process, and becomes a revolutionary change in core logging workflow. By automating the capture of geological features, these technologies not only drastically reduce manual errors and inconsistencies but also accelerate the logging process. The result? Consistent, reliable data that forms the foundation for robust geological models, ensuring that every ounce of valuable mineral is identified and mapped with precision.
TruScan truly excels in mining studies and production grade control scenarios. By providing a comprehensive view of ore body chemistry, lithology, structure, metal deportment, composition and heterogeneity, TruScan empowers mining companies to optimize their extraction strategies, enhance grade consistency, minimizing project capital profiles and maximizing profitability.
The bottom line? Core scanning technologies are not just an upgrade; they are a game-changer, paving the way for a more sustainable, efficient, and prosperous mining future.
High Resolution Photography, Wet and Dry
TruScan™ features two (2) high-resolution cameras that take photos of the core both wet and dry with strong control of lighting, focus consistency of imaging. Ensuring photography samples are best-placed for downstream data science and AI with software like AutoLogger and TruStructure.
Matrix-Calibrated XRF of Core and Chips
TruScan™ offers explorers and mine geologists non-destructive and accurate elemental data of chips and core, right there in the field.
Capable of scanning 80 to 100m (200 to 300 ft) of core per 12-hour shift (depending on required data density) and many more meters (feet) per shift on RC chips, a single unit can potentially scan the core from multiple drill rigs, legacy core, or a combination of both.

TruScan’s built-in QA/QC functionality uses a ‘V-arm’ to host standards in the form of ‘pucks’ that represent either a site standard, blanks, or OREAS materials.
The automated process scans a known puck every ‘X’ (defined by user) number of boxes in order to make sure the instrument is operating within set parameters.
Using TruScan™ combined control of logging, chain of custody and standardization to improve sampling accuracy - ensuring results are more precisely measured than the variability between two-halves of split core.
