Our company
This is Orexplore
Mineral explorers usually have a pretty good idea where minerals can be hiding, but without necessary tools and equipment, their chances of success are slim. Orexplore was created around the idea that a big part of a geologist’s work is analyzing rock – a process which hasn’t fundamentally changed for hundreds of years.
After extensive research, we have now developed the technology to not only analyze the elemental composition of rock, but also visualize the rock’s internal structure. And we can do it in a fraction of the time that a standard lab assay would take.
Like most other industries it’s also about data. By converting physical rock objects, and the data related to those rocks, into digital data, we open the door to a new world of analysis. Who knows the ways our brilliant customers will take advantage of this new opportunity? We’re only at the beginning of the digital revolution of the mining industry. We hope that you will join us on the journey!
