Minalyzer CS
About Minalyzer CS
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.
Post-acquisition, Minalyzer CS sits alongside Veracio's TruScan as a complementary scanning platform, with both instruments feeding into the Strata cloud environment and AI-powered logging tools (AutoLogger, TruStructure). The Minalyzer CS's continuous XRF scanning capability enables geologists to prioritise sampling intervals for assay, reducing analytical costs while increasing the resolution of geochemical information. The non-destructive nature of XRF analysis means the core is preserved intact after scanning.
Minalyzer CS competes with GeologicAI's multi-sensor scanning platform, Prediktera's Breeze Geo hyperspectral system, and traditional selective sampling workflows. Its primary differentiator is the continuous, automated XRF measurement approach rather than spot measurements, providing a complete geochemical profile of every drill hole.

AutoLogger
by Veracio
AutoLogger is Veracio's AI-driven lithological core logging platform. It enables geologists to log core digitally with fully customisable labels while the platform simultaneously learns the geochemical signature of logged lithologies using machine learning, then refines and predicts classifications to dramatically increase logging efficiency. AutoLogger auto-completes geological logging based on patterns it identifies in the core data, ensures seamless QA/QC, and transforms the traditional core shed workflow into a digital geology process.
BlackFox
by acQuire Technology Solutions
BlackFox is a cloud-based SaaS drilling management system acquired by acQuire in November 2024, originally built in Texas by founder Shea Croshaw. The platform addresses the operational side of drilling programs: capturing, validating, and analysing daily drilling data (plods/DSRs) from multiple rigs and contractors in real time. Key capabilities include root cause analysis by rig, driller, project, or region; mobile-enabled daily drilling report workflows with approval chains; customer portal access for mining company clients; multi-language and multi-currency support; and drill program cost management with variance tracking.
Breeze Geo
by Prediktera
Breeze Geo provides an all-in-one solution for hyperspectral core analysis — covering data acquisition, mineral classification, spectral library matching, machine learning model training, image segmentation, and logging workflow to final export. It supports USGS MICA mapping, spectral library interactivity, and custom ML classification workflows using Python scripting. Results export in common formats compatible with other core logging and geological database software.
CorePlan
by CorePlan
CorePlan 2.0 (launched September 2024) is a SaaS platform that replaces paper-based and spreadsheet-driven drilling operations with a digital workflow. For exploration companies, it provides one place for geologists to plan drill programs, track production against budget, manage sample dispatch and laboratory turnaround, and generate operational and management reports. For drilling contractors, it digitises plod (Progressive Log of Drilling) capture on the rig and automates data sharing, approvals, and invoicing with clients.
