MIRORES Mining Data Services integrates remote sensing and geological data for resource prospecting on Earth, the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. They utilize their advanced far-IR spectrometer, MIRORES, which is adaptable for orbiters, drones, and labs. This technology overcomes the limitations of near-IR spectral analysis for ore minerals. Their mission supports transitioning to a zero-carbon economy and advancing space resource exploration. They assist mining and space industries in the collection, processing, and geological interpretation of data, ensuring optimal integration of diverse data sources.
The SPARK-funded project focuses on adapting the MIRORES far-IR spectrometer for crucial applications, including conveyor belts, portable handheld devices, and rovers. These applications will enable precise and efficient in-situ detection of mineral resources, streamlining mining processes and enhancing both terrestrial and space resource exploration.
The MIRORES technology targets sulfide and oxide minerals, which host crucial metals such as nickel, cobalt, iron, copper, titanium, and platinum group elements. These metals are vital for the clean energy transition, supporting the development of renewable technologies like wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicle batteries, which are essential for a sustainable future.
