In this episode we chat to Alice Dineen, North American Sales Manager at Geotek Limited, who specialises in high-resolution, non-destructive analysis of geological cores. For over 25 years, they have designed, built, and supplied a range of Multi-Sensor Core Logger systems, using a suite of geophysical and geochemical sensors primarily aimed at non-destructive core analysis across the mining industry.

Alice has an earth science and geology degree and has been with the business for over 5 ½ years and discuss Geotek, what they do and how mining companies benefit from using their equipment and expertise in logging core.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Core scanning is essential for connecting remote sensing surveys to the subsurface, providing ground truth data for exploration and mining projects.
Core scanning technology, such as the BoxScan system, automates core logging processes, ensuring consistent and non-subjective data collection for better geological interpretations.
Machine learning algorithms, like k-means clustering, can be applied to core scanning data to segment and analyze mineral content, enhancing exploration and resource characterisation.
Core scanning systems, like those offered by Geotech, can help expedite the transition to green energy by providing valuable data for critical mineral initiatives and carbon capture storage.
Public awareness and education about the importance of core scanning in the mining industry and its role in the green energy transition are crucial for driving innovation and sustainability in the sector.

BEST MOMENTS

"Core is the most important resource we have from an exploration standpoint and in the mining sector in general." 

"Core scanning can be hugely beneficial in the carbon capture storage sector because you're wanting to characterise rocks which might be suitable hosts for carbon." 

"I think large file sizes can definitely be a real problem, particularly with high-resolution data collection." 

"I think core scanning in general can be hugely beneficial for the green energy transition."
