The MUD® SAR  system penetrates ground cover and overburden to detect and model bedrock formations, geological structures, faults, and contacts hidden deep beneath the earth's surface. The structures and alterations with the highest probability of mineralization become targets. 

 

MUD® SAR empowers the mining industry to focus on environmental stewardship with accurate monitoring of terrain changes potentially caused by mining activities. 

Deepen your discovery capacity

MUD® SAR technology offers precise and deep subsurface intelligence to detect mineral deposits hidden beneath the earth's surface. By mapping subsurface structure, even in extreme and remote environments, exploration companies can locate and model less apparent, deeper and buried deposits.

 

By expediting operations, MUD® SAR lowers exploration costs so valuable resources can be efficiently located and extracted, leading to increased profitability and a reduction in environmental impact.

EXPLORE

Narrow your original search areas to prospective targets, extract anomalous features using a 3D modeling geospatial technology that works for surface and subsurface deposits.

DESIGN

Detect subsurface structure and geohazards that impact engineering and design planning for pits, storage and processing facilities, and other critical infrastructure.  

MODEL

Visualize bedrock formations, structures and geological faults, outcrops, and contacts at the surface and subsurface over large and difficult to access areas. 

MONITOR

Remotely monitor the impact of underground and underwater structural movement on assets and the impact of industrial activities on the environment.

CASE STUDY

Explore the earth's subsurface
from space

Auracle and Alerio Gold joined forces to use MUD® SAR to produce new geographic and geological information to refine and prioritize targets for future exploration programs at Alerio's Tassawini Gold Project, located in a heavily vegetated rainforest in Guyana. 

Sustainable resource management

3D models of the subsurface and underwater provide an added data layer of information that improves operational efficiency through discovery of hidden risks and opportunities.

Create value with a unified data set 

Create value with new, user-friendly 3D maps and models that transform company spatial data into one unified data set, with fused dissimilar drill, geological,  geochemistry, and geophysics data. 

Satisfy environmental stewardship

Bring down the cost of deeper discoveries  year  round, through all weather, day or night, without the environmental risks often associated with traditional exploration activities. 

EXPLORATION PRODUCT

Pipe Stalker® detects kimberlite occurrences

Pipe Stalker® is a breakthrough exploration tool that enables sustainable, cost-effective detection of kimberlite occurrences in complex scenarios: extreme weather, underwater, hidden by overburden and in remote locations.

Caught with looming deadlines and no ground work completed? Want to maintain valuable properties intended for further exploration? MUD® SAR advances new geological and geographic information, year round, and fits your budget, deadlines and schedule.

MUD® SAR maps and models pegmatite and brine-type lithium deposits, under 100 meters of overburden. As a fully developed proprietary application, MUD® SAR answers the global demand for critical mineral exploration and environmental stewardship.

MUD® SAR is a revolutionary mining technology that helps mining operators to identify new water sources and to detect system leakages. It is a tailor-made solution that helps to answer the global demand for sustainable water management in industry.
