The oldest known mine in history is located on the African Continent. It is known that people living in the Paleolithic period in the area known as Aslan Cave mined the iron-containing hematite mine. Since ancient times, mining has stood out as one of the two main production areas that provide the raw material needs of societies along with agriculture.
In the modern world, the USA, China, South Africa, Canada, Australia and Russia are the leading countries that effectively use their natural resources, namely mines.
The sector, which provides for finding and processing ore and industrial raw materials in the earth’s crust, has changed and transformed over time with the developing technology. It was particularly affected by the technological developments that came with industry 4.0.
Technology companies operating in this field began to emerge. One of these companies was established in Australia in 2018. plot… received yesterday under the leadership of Innovation Endeavors $18 million The company, which came to the agenda with the news of the investment, is in the field of mining. used to detect underground resources produces hyperspectral imaging technology. This helps to distinguish and identify materials very precisely.

It passes the information collected through the device called OreSense, which it launched in 2019, through the electromagnetic spectrum (image). It makes it visible to the human eye.
He installs LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) imaging for mining companies. It allows the qualitative and quantitative examination of the elements that make up the matter, that is, the spectral analysis, on-site, before the samples are taken to the laboratory. This ensures that financial and environmental processes become more efficient.
“We aim to support those working in this field with real-time information while incorporating technology into their mining operations. This makes more ore processing possible,” says Andrew Job, the company’s founder.
