IMA Engineering

Real-time mineral analysis for efficient and sustainable

IMA Smart Mining sensors and sampling solutions provide real-time and geometallurgical data across the mining value chain — from exploration and drilling through ore handling and mineral processing.

Exploration

IMA solutions help mining companies make faster and more confident decisions during exploration, feasibility studies, and pilot programs through accurate real-time geological data and improved ore visibiloity from the earliest project stages.

In underground mining environments, Scanmobile automates drill core analysis and imaging directly from core boxes, reducing manual handling, improving data consistency, and accelerating geological workflows.

Processing

IMA is the first and only provider of sensors for concentrators linked to geo-metallurgical assay data from mug piles and benches.

All the information collected by the sensors, the crusher, and particle size data contribute to estimating the grindability of the ore (throughput).

Mining solutions

Mining

IMA solutions provide surface and underground mining operations with accurate real-time ore data and improved ore visibility across the mining process – supporting better grade control, optimized plant feed, and more efficient mineral processing.

Applications range from blast benches, muck piles, and loading control to conveyors, bulk ore sorting, and downstream processing systems.

Rental Equipment for Studies

Our solution reveals the true variation of ore grades,
by providing sensor and sampling systems that can analyze the ore grade and location. Seeing is believing!

IMA Engineering Smart Mining rental equipment can be easily installed to assess the impact of Ore Sorting, Mine grade control and Mine-to-Mill Optimization.
