Novamera

Novamera’s downhole sensors and software integrate with conventional diamond drills to create real-time 3D models of narrow-vein orebodies.

Novamera’s Sustainable Mining by Drilling (SMD) uses downhole sensors, machine learning, and drilling technology to mine narrow vein deposits safely, economically, and sustainably.

Novamera’s Surgical Mining system provides technology, expertise, and execution to quickly bring narrow vein deposits into production with precise extraction at depths up to 300m.

Novamera's suite of Surgical Mining Technologies works with conventional drilling equipment to extract ore, while minimizing waste.

A research team at Memorial University’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science is collaborating with Anaconda Mining Inc. to develop a sustainable mining method called sustainable mining by drilling (SMD) for vein-type deposits.

The mining industry faces challenges like social license, declining ore grades, and regulatory hurdles but also has opportunities to meet growing mineral demand for clean energy.

Engineering & Mining Journal notes that longhole stoping and cut-and-fill mining methods remain useful for specific orebodies, though their application depends on vein width.

Novamera’s Surgical Mining method enables smaller-scale deposits to become economically viable, reducing capital and time requirements for market supply.
