Corescan is a leader in hyperspectral scanning, core photography and 3D laser profiling of drill core, rock chips and other geological samples with the associated processing and interpretation. Corescan offers an automated solution that increases both the speed and reliability of imaging, processing and data delivery. Providing a rapid and reliable mineralogical profile of each drill core, Corescan improves the mining companies' decision-making across exploration, resource modelling and ore processing. Coreshed complements this by providing advanced digital core storage, visualisation, management and data integration solution for drill core and other geological samples.
