Transform geological uncertainty into actionable operational data. Using cosmic ray muons, Muon Vision delivers 4D continuous monitoring data to see deep inside heap leach pads, tailings dams, and underground assets. With versatile deployment options and fully remote operations in horizontal and vertical wells,we provide a unique volumetric X-ray scan to drive critical decision making, boost metal recovery yields and operate more safely and sustainably
Our Services
We are pioneers in subsurface intelligence. Muon Vision was founded on a singular belief: that the biggest challenges in modern mining—opacity, inefficiency, and catastrophic risk—can be solved through the fusion of rigorous particle physics and advanced engineering. Our technology can uniquely diagnose hidden problems and maximize the value of mining most critical assets.
"Up to +20% metal recovery can be expected for both existing or re-leaching operations, in either Au or Cu heaps."
Contrast Muography for Leaching Operations
Our trademark innovation (patented) and quantitative scan data allows operators to continuously map fluid content and air-filled porosity in any leaching heap to <1% (validation data available). This eliminates expensive test work while enabling in-situ validation of optimized leaching programs, cost savings, management of slope stability and the identification of bypass pay and new reserves
Tailing Dams
Ensure critical stability and water efficiency through continuous volumetric monitoring inside the dam. This real-time data enables proactive management of phreatic levels to prevent piping, detect seepage early, and verify wall integrity. Drive ESG compliance by monitoring vast areas without invasive drilling, ensuring safety by eliminating personnel exposure to hazardous zones.
Underground Exploration and Cavity Detection
A classic, static application of muography, our technology can also provide high-density 3D mapping of ore bodies and hazardous voidsunderground.
By measuring the underground muon flux, our detectors can "see" through up to hundreds of meters of rock and help operators better definehigh-density mineralization zone or detect abandoned workings and other geohazards.
Custom Applications
Our technology adapts to your unique constraints and challenges. We deploy customized sensor configurations to provide actionable, quantitative data on density and structural changes in environments where traditional sensors fail. Tell us about your operational "black box" challenge, and we will help you visualize the solution.
