VERACIO announces AI-based geology project with in-situ core scanning
Veracio's technology seeks to improve decision making in mining operations to reduce the carbon footprint and correct data resolution for geoscientific personnel.
Veracio, a pioneercompany in AI and geology solutions integrated with science and OBK (depositknowledge), began a project for an open pit, low-grade copper mining companythat in its initial phase includes 15,000 meters of core scanning andgeochemical analysis. with the TruScan platform. The company to which thisservice will be provided is Sierra Gorda SCM, a porphyry copper miningoperation with molybdenum mineralization, located in the Antofagasta Region(Chile).
The solution also includes AI-assisted digitalregistration using cloud software and processing technologies. Additionally,this solution accelerates structural recording and rock quality designation(RQD), providing geologists and engineers with standardized, accurate andtimely access to structural data, while reducing manual handling. This willresult in greater accessibility and quality of geoscience data, which iscritical to the long-term value of the miner, and to centralize information forgeoscience staff.
Veracio is confident that Sierra Gorda SCM willbenefit from an overall reduction in environmental impact aligned with broaderESG initiatives. This includes an immediate reduction in the carbon footprintrelated to core transportation and processing, as well as significant potentialto reduce water and energy consumption through alternative design options,production optimization and better waste management. minerals and waste.Additionally, Veracio has reported that its clients have seen savings of up to 8hours per day in log analysis productivity, millions in drilling, and over $1billion in reduced capital costs on projects.
