Re-defining mining, for a sustainable modern life
This is our Purpose
We count on smart innovation to bring an environmental, economic, and sustainable approach to the future of mining.
Smart innovation in mining protects the resources and nature while providing the raw materials that our modern society continuously needs.
Innovating for 30 Years
Today, we are leading the industry with the most accurate smart mining technology.
Our sensors allow mines worldwide to use less water and less energy while obtaining better and faster results. Moreover, we reduce waste rock dilution, tailings, and ore losses, significantly diminishing the environmental impact.
Protecting the Planet
We combine knowledge, creativity, and smart innovation so we can all take advantage of innovative technologies.
While bringing a revolution in mining, IMA puts people, their lives, our planet, and its resources first.
We know progress should go hand in hand with sustainability.
