Innovative exploration drilling and data collection test center: I-EDDA-TC

Purpose and goal The goal of the project has been met since a suitable site has been identified next to one of Epiroc’s (former Atlas Copco) factories in Örebro. In addition, we have…

VectOre – Exploration criteria for polymetallic sulphide mineralisation and industrial carbonates

Purpose and goal The project is a unique collaboration between the metal-producing industry (Boliden) and the carbonate-mining industry (Björka Mineral), aiming at improving exploration criteria for polymetallic sulphide deposits (Zn-Pb-Ag) and carbonate deposits…

Integrated inversion for vintage geophysics in exploration

Purpose and goal The project aims to test the possibility to perform successful integrated inversion of vintage regional geophysical data, even if not acquired for that purpose, by adding complementary down-hole petrophysical information….

Borehole seismic images and magnetic measurements in boreholes

Purpose and goal The purpose of this pilot study was to test a prototype borehole seismic system with sources and receivers downhole, along with vector magnetic measurements in the same borehole. These tests…

Innovative deep exploration 1fk

Purpose and goal The project is the first phase of three with the long-term goal of improving the workflow and creativity of geologists through new geophysical sensors and geochemical analysis at the borehole….

BIOMET: Efficient metal recovery from mine drainage water by biological treatment

Purpose and goal The aim of the project was to increase resource efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint of mining by reduced metal emissions through designing smart bioprocesses. The project has reached that…

Innovative deep exploration

Purpose and goal The aim was to clarify how new miniaturised technology for sensors and chemical analysis readout in or at the borehole can provide faster feedback both to the central expert centres…
