Datamine Discover is an ArcGIS Pro plugin designed specifically for mineral exploration geology. Built into Esri's industry-standard GIS platform, it provides geoscience-specific tools that exploration geologists need daily: importing and centralising diverse geoscience data types (drillhole, geochemistry, geophysics, mapping), creating cartographic-quality drillhole plans and section templates, and viewing geological data in 3D within a familiar GIS environment.

GeologicAI's core scanning service deploys mobile trailer units — towed by truck or lifted by helicopter — to mine sites, equipped with five sensor types: hyperspectral imaging (SWIR/VNIR), XRF, high-resolution RGB photography (wet and dry), LiDAR, and magnetic susceptibility. A robotic system moves samples through all sensors, scanning approximately 300–500 metres of core per day. Through the December 2025 acquisition of Lumo Analytics, LIBS capability was added for rare earth element and light element detection.

The GeologicAI Digital Core Table is an AI-powered core logging platform that consolidates data from multiple sensors — hyperspectral, XRF, RGB photography, LiDAR, and magnetic susceptibility — into a single digital interface for geologist review and interpretation. It provides estimated assays, lithological classifications, mineralogical features, and structural information generated by AI models trained on site-specific data.

GeoticLog is Geotic's flagship core logging software — a comprehensive geological data capture platform that simplifies drilling data input, core sample visualisation, cross-section creation, and strip log generation. Its user-friendly interface accelerates data entry through customisable dictionaries with built-in validation, minimising errors and ensuring data quality at the point of capture.

GeoticMine is Geotic's 3D geological modelling tool, directly linked to the GeoticLog database so changes to logged data are instantly reflected in 3D models without manual re-import steps. It provides tools for building geological models, visualising drillhole data in three dimensions, and creating geological interpretations from exploration drilling data.

Imago is Seequent's cloud-based geological imagery management and analysis platform, processing millions of images from tens of millions of metres of core annually. Acquired by Seequent in 2021, Imago provides exploration and mining teams with a centralised, searchable repository for core tray photos, chip trays, and geological samples captured in the field or core shed.

ioGAS is IMDEX's exploratory data analysis application for geoscience, providing powerful tools for analysing and visualising multi-element geochemical data from exploration programs. The software enables geoscientists to investigate large geochemical datasets through univariate and multivariate analysis, statistical plots, geochemical classification diagrams, and spatial projections to identify alteration patterns and vector toward mineralisation.

KruxLog is a mobile application (iOS, Android, Windows) for entering daily shift reports (DSRs/plods), timesheets, and operational data directly at the drill rig. It replaces paper logs and spreadsheet-based manual data entry with structured digital capture that validates data at point of entry. KruxLog works offline for remote sites without connectivity, syncing data when a connection becomes available.

KruxMetrix is the web-based analytics companion to KruxLog, providing performance tracking, cost analysis, KPI monitoring, and corporate dashboards that normalise data across global operations for meaningful cross-site comparison. Mining companies and drilling contractors use KruxMetrix to understand rig utilisation, productivity by driller, cost variance by project, and operational efficiency benchmarks across their portfolio of rigs and projects.

LogChief (and LogChief Lite) is maxgeo's field-based geological logging tool, designed for use in the core shed or at the drill rig on mobile and tablet devices. It provides customisable logging templates with configurable validation rules, ensuring data quality at the point of capture before data enters the central database.

Matrixx Xchange is a cloud platform for DDR/plod data standardisation and chain of custody across multiple drilling contractors. Mining companies receive standardised DDR data regardless of the contractor's source format, eliminating manual CSV compilations. The platform implements a chain-of-custody process ensuring data provenance — who submitted what data, when, and from which rig — is fully traceable and auditable.

Originally developed by Minalyze AB in Sweden and acquired by Veracio in September 2023 for US$29.3M, the Minalyzer CS is a patented core scanning instrument using XRF technology for rapid, non-destructive geochemical analysis of drill core at continuous centimetre-scale resolution. The hardware scanner feeds data directly to Minalogger, Veracio's cloud-based 3D core log visualisation software, enabling exploration teams to generate standardised geochemical datasets for digital processing and AI analysis.

MinePortal was acquired by IMDEX from DataCloud International in September 2021 for approximately A$20M.
