IMA Engineering’s solutions arouse interest at Zimec 2022

IMA Engineering presented its bulk ore sorting smart solution, at Zimec 2022, the longest-running mining and energy event in Zambia. The event in Kitwe is taking place between 1-3 November and brings together important mining players and technology providers.
One step closer to waterless operations from mine to mill

IMA Smart Mining Solutions was recently invited to contribute to an article on sampling and analysis solutions for Science Direct. The article was written in close cooperation with the Oulu Mining School, at the University of Oulu. It discusses and highlights the increased demand for commodities, which leads to increased volumes of ore that needs […]
IMA Smart Mining Solutions in 2021

There is no doubt that 2021 was an interesting year for everybody. During this month we take some time to count our achievements and learn how we can further improve and serve the world. We also produced and launched our solutions video this year, to better illustrate how IMA Smart Mining Solutions work together to improve mining efficiency and reduce mining costs.

Autonomous Digital Mining Application – Blast Hole Sampling

This week, we continue our series of posts on the topic of Blast Hole Sampling and Analysis in Ore Grade Control in Mining and today we are talking about IMA Engineering’s Methods, Equipment and Results for Blast Hole Sampling. This article and the attached white paper are the continuation of our previous article that you can read here.
The Importance of Sampling and Analysis Accuracy in Grade Control

Blast hole sampling and analysis in Ore Grade Control in Mining is a topic that we feel, hasn’t been covered enough. During the month of March 2021, we aim to bring some clarity on this topic and to present some solutions to the current challenges faced by mining companies all over the world.
On-line Sensors in Preconcentration

Waste rock removal in preconcentration has direct effect on energy consumption in crushing and grinding and chemicals in concentrator. In concentrator waste is separated and goes to tailings pond, however, preconcentration directly reduces the volume of the tailings. Download our paper from the 2020 Digital Pre-concentration Conference in Australia.
Ore Sorting Automation for Copper Mining with Advanced XRF Technology

Ore sorting is one of the focus areas mining companies are now looking at in improving mining proficiency and becoming ever more sustainable in mining. For almost a decade IMA Engineering has been developing sensor applications to better separate ore from the waste from early exploration to modern bulk ore sorting (or particle sorting).
