Imaging Deposits with Muon Tomography

Ideon works with some of the world’s largest mining companies, using innovative muon tomography to detect mineral deposits. Read more about our achievements on the field.

Leinster

Multi-site, multi-phase, multi-physics program demonstrating cost-effectiveness and high resolution of muon tomography imaging to inform nickel exploration, resource mapping, and void detection of a multi-kilometre strike extent.

McClean Lake

World’s first borehole muon tomography field trial successfully imaging alteration surrounding compact uranium ore pods.

Nickel West

Blind trial successfully imaging a 3-7m thick deposit at 200m depth.

McArthur River

Imaged a compact high-grade uranium deposit at ~600 m depth.

Myra Falls

Imaged a VMS deposit at ~300 m depth in mountainous terrain.

Pend Oreille

Blind test successfully imaging a MVT deposit at ~500 m depth.

“Muon tomography gives us the ability to accurately locate subsurface anomalies while reducing the need for drilling. We expect it to transform the nature of how we explore.”
