IMA Engineering blast hole sampling system operating on a surface drill rig to deliver real-time ore analysis, grade control, and smarter mining decisions.

The Blast Hole Sampler-Analyzer (BSA) provides Analyze While Drilling (AWD) and Measure While Drilling (MWD) data, for accurate elemental analysis and rock/ore hardness information.

BSA collects samples and dense drill cuttings data from production and Reverse-Circulation holes, which allows companies to obtain accurate 3D maps of the blast benches.
