to measure and report ore grade and ore characteristics in real-time

SHOVELSENSE - Smart Shovel

MineSense partnered with Teck Resources for the first full-scale trial of the bucket-mounted ShovelSense technology at the Highland Valley Copper mine in British Columbia with commercialization commencing in 2019.

Following this successful deployment, ShovelSense has been deployed in a growing list of global mining operations, including some of the world's largest copper mines in Latin America.

Why are we sending critical metals to the dump?

Our CEO Jeff More recently took the TED stage to share how MineSense is helping the mining industry meet the world’s growing demand for copper by simply wasting less of what is already being mined. Through data and AI-powered solutions, we are able to make mining more efficient and more sustainable, and help drive the clean energy transition.
