Who we are?

IMA is a manufacturer of new on-line mineral sampling and analysis technology for mining and exploration companies. IMA on-line sensors are used in various stages of the mining process including on-line analysis of drill cores, drill chips, ore, and waste in loader buckets, ROM ore analysis on conveyor belts and in bulk ore sorting, as well as in slurry analysis in concentrators. Our solutions are designed to increase the production efficiency in the mining industry.

Ambition statements

IMA’s objective in this project is to develop an onsite multi-sensor scanning technology. The conventional laboratory mineral and soil analysis methods requires a lot of effort, time and money and each technology has its own pros and cons. Our objective is to develop a portable multi-sensor scanner bench which could address above short comes and provide fast and accurate data for decision making.
