Key features

Veracio's TruScan solution will improve information quality by delivering a rapid combination of high-resolution intelligent data streams to Sierra Gorda SCM geologists. These include: photographs of wet and dry drill cores, array-calibrated XRF (X-ray fluorescence) geochemistry obtained through a high-speed, automated, continuous scanning service, with all data processed and analyzed within 24 hours.

The solution also includes AI-assisted digital registration using cloud software and processing technologies. Additionally, this solution accelerates structural recording and rock quality designation(RQD), providing geologists and engineers with standardized, accurate and timely access to structural data, while reducing manual handling. This willresult in greater accessibility and quality of geoscience data, which is critical to the long-term value of the miner, and to centralize information forgeoscience staff.

Veracio is confident that Sierra Gorda SCM will benefit from an overall reduction in environmental impact aligned with broaderESG initiatives. This includes an immediate reduction in the carbon footprint related to core transportation and processing, as well as significant potential to 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.
