‘Almost like Star Trek’: New startup helps miners stare deep into the earth with cosmic rays (Financial Post)
World’s first Earth X-ray discovery platform’ could be used to find untapped metal, mineral deposits far below surface.

Canadian innovators to accelerate the world’s transition to low-impact mining.
Taking inspiration from the x-ray and MRI technologies that allow medical doctors to see inside the human body, Canada’s Digital Technology Supercluster has launched a project aimed at helping mineral exploration companies identify potential deposits of critical minerals beneath the Earth’s surface.
Like X-rays and MRIs give us visibility inside the human body, the project will enable mining exploration companies to identify density and magnetic anomalies with greater resolution and certainty up to 1 kilometre beneath the Earth’s surface
The Earth X-ray for Low-Impact Mining will conduct research on how to better identify density and magnetic anomalies.
The Discovery Platform will feature state-of-the-art hardware and software, novel data inversion and integration techniques, advanced AI algorithms, and geostatistical methods to construct detailed 3D profiles of subsurface anomalies — such as mineral and metal deposits, air voids, caves, and other structures.
Canadian project aims to deliver Discovery Platform to help mining exploration companies precision-target deposits beneath the earth’s surface.
Gary Agnew, CEO and co-founder of Ideon Technologies, joins BNN Bloomberg’s Andrew Bell to discuss the use of new technology to help the mining sector find minerals that will aid in the clean energy transition.
Canadians are investing in the world’s first Earth X-ray platform for mineral exploration. The discovery platform will help precisely target mineralization below surface for discovery.
The project aims to deliver a new discovery platform that will help mining exploration companies to precision-target deposits beneath the Earth’s surface in a way that changes the economics of discovery and increases the sustainable production of critical mineral resources needed to fuel the clean energy transition.
