Viridien announces new Global Tailings Monitoring Service to deliver more comprehensive, automated safety intelligence to the mining industry. Viridien is shaping the future of mine asset monitoring with a new automated, remote Global Tailings Monitoring Service (GTMS) designed to enable more comprehensive and consistent monitoring of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) at mine sites. GTMS will deliver actionable intelligence to mine operators and engineers responsible for the safety of multiple or single assets, helping them to detect early warning precursor signals to prevent failures that can have significant economic, environmental, social, and reputational consequences. Developed with ESA Space Solutions, the GTMS service offers a more cost-effective TSF monitoring solution than other more bespoke approaches. With the option of being fully scalable across a portfolio of sites, it integrates a wide-ranging suite of Earth Observation and environmental data sets on a single online platform to address numerous potential failure mechanisms. This increases efficiency for the end-user by streamlining data collation, comparison and analysis to aid early identification of precursors to failure. Results are generated across entire portfolios at industry-leading speeds using Viridien's world-class high-performance computing (HPC) capacity. These results are delivered with every new satellite data acquisition, which is a much higher frequency compared to approaches that provide updates monthly, quarterly or annually. Peter Whiting, Head of Geoscience, Viridien, said: "The safety of mine site TSFs is a high priority for the mining industry. Through consultation with several major, multinational mining companies, and drawing on our longstanding expertise in remote sensing and TSF monitoring, GTMS will be a step-change service designed to minimise potential failure risks and advance ESG performance. This new service is an invaluable investment for our clients and strongly supports their responsibility and sustainability goals." Thursday 26 March 2026 15:00 Ambra Solutions, a Canadian leader in the design and deployment of private 4G/5G networks and solutions for mission-critical industries, has announced a major digital transformation project with IAMGOLD Corporation at the Côté Gold mine, located between Timmins and Sudbury.

The project begins [...] Map showing the location of the Phase 1 Mahanadi Basin Reimaging project (courtesy of Viridien Earth Data). Topics. Companies. Viridien announced a new multi-client data initiative targeting India's offshore basins, aiming to enhance data-driven exploration for industry operators. The project begins with phase 1, focusing on reimaging and merging approximately 9,000 sq. km of 3D seismic data over the offshore East Coast Mahanadi Basin. Viridien operates as an advanced technology, digital, and Earth data company focused on resolving complex natural resource, digital, energy transition, and infrastructure challenges. The company expects to deliver fast-track results by June 2026, with final data available by year-end. The phase 1 Mahanadi Basin project seeks to improve imaging quality over established petroleum system areas and deeper water zones where legacy data limitations have hindered exploration of new thermogenic plays. Viridien will utilize advanced imaging technologies, including time-lag full-waveform inversion (TLFWI) and least-squares PSDM (LSQPDSM), to produce seamless, high-quality 3D datasets. "The innovative imaging technology and regional expertise provided by Viridien, combined with phased project expansion throughout the Mahanadi Basin, will drive new exploration and investment opportunities for emerging plays, and support both ongoing and future bid rounds," Dechun Lin, head of earth data at Viridien, said.

Viridien introduces new Geolucent scanning system to deliver fast, reliable 3D geological insight for mining operations. Viridien has launched Geolucent - an innovative geoscience-driven machine vision system that provides a breakthrough approach to production rock-face characterisation, transforming operational decision-making in mining environments. Geolucent combines quantitative hyperspectral rock composition mapping, overlain on an accurate LIDAR-derived structural representation, to deliver consistent, decision-ready 3D geointelligence, related to mineralogy and geotechnical parameters, in minutes. Designed to operate in complete darkness or low-light conditions, the Geolucent system is remotely controlled and can be mounted on multiple vehicle platforms. With controlled laser illumination, Geolucent removes dependence on ambient lighting and enables accurate hyperspectral scanning from safe standoff distances of up to 10 m. Its autonomous data workflows enable mining operational teams to collect repeatable geological information. Junior Potgieter, Global Strategy Head, Minerals & Mining, Viridien, said: "Geolucent accelerates mine-site understanding, bringing new levels of clarity, speed, and safety to operations. By generating quantitative, repeatable geological insights in under 30 minutes, the system enables mine operators to make faster, safer and more confident decisions in complex, time-critical environments. This innovation demonstrates Viridien's commitment to solving real operational challenges with advanced sensing, automation, and geointelligence technologies." Tuesday 03 March 2026 12:00 Wheaton Precious Metals(TM) Corp. has announced the winner of its second annual Future of Mining Challenge.
