Mining Operations
Subsurface intelligence for sustainable mining practises and operations.
You have a vision to build and maintain safe and sustainable Tailing Storage Facilities.
MUD® SAR can help you get there.
Add valuable subsurface and underwater information to fill knowledge gaps about hazards and history to prevent, mitigate and reduce risk throughout the TSF lifecycle.
Monitor your entire network, local or remote, anywhere in the world, with MUD® SAR to detect, model and monitor subsurface and underwater change, where mine stability is at greatest risk.
Fill In Knowlege Gaps
Build on what you know and add new geological and geographic information to amend your facility's knowledge base.
Maybe original records of design and construction are limited. Maybe underlying risks have been detected not known at the time of mine design and construction. Maybe there is an urgent need to re-assess current stability and safety.
MUD® SAR satellite technology has the capacity to establish both a TSF’s history and its current stability, including its subsurface and underwater characteristics.

Apply satellite deep penetrating radar technology at every phase of the mining value chain, from exploration and geological modeling to construction, operations and maintenance, to closure and remediation. An enterprise-class digital solution, MUD® SAR focuses on using subsurface intelligence to support the business processes of mining and make them more efficient, safe and sustainable.
CONTINUOUS SURFACE ELEVATION PRODUCT
Elevation Data That Doesn't Stop at the Water's Edge
Auracle's breakthrough elevation technology, CSEM, provides valuable terrain information that contains continuous representation of land surface and bottoms of lakes and rivers.
These high resolution land and shallow water models recognize the variation in the underground and underwater to provide accurate measurements of water depth and models of subsurface structure.
Optimal Subsurface View with Digital Twins
Revolutionize the way you visualize and manage assets and infrastructure with MUD® SAR, a subsurface digital twin. With millions of subsurface data points, you have a complete digital representation of the shape, size, position and direction of the elements within the physical subsurface, including water resources.
This digital asset enables operators to cost-effectively design, build and optimize the safety and sustainabiity of a TSF, throughout its lifecycle.
Site Characterization
Site characterization identifies the subsurface conditions needed to satisfy mine site design and construction standards but operators face huge challenges when there is no or low-quality data.
MUD® SAR penetrates the proposed site surface and underwater, to depths of 100m and with 0.2m resolution models, details non-apparent subsurface geology, construction berms, water tables, soil saturation, bedrock layers, and man-made structures.
With new subsurface intelligence and a historical baseline, operators can compare and select sites to design facilities that are amenable to safe and sustainable operations.
We are committed to making MUD® SAR the standard science used to model and monitor the surface, subsurface and underwater.
