Novaminex is a Sudbury Ontario-based company focused on improving the pace of mineral deposit discovery and definition through the development of new hardware and software technologies. The group was formed in 2014 to develop geophysical exploration systems and processing methods. It has conceived, prototyped and tested complex geophysical sensing systems for the detection and delineation of mineral deposits from boreholes, from the surface and from airborne platforms. Innovations have been made in areas of sensor stabilization, airborne sensing systems, borehole sensing systems, signal detection optimization and electrical safety resulting in 8 patents.
Novaminex is developing new hardware tools for electromagnetic detection of mineral deposits that can be deployed in boreholes, on surface and from the air via a drone-towed bird. Our software products include the Provus EM modelling software which is capable of handling complex shapes and the AEM Workshop, a one-stop-solution for the interpretation of AEM data for the purposes of identification, analysis and modelling of discrete conductors.

"A Borehole EM survey conducted on the extension of drill hole 16TK0250, and drill holes 25TK0552 and 25TK0562 has identified a strong off-hole conductor using the Provus Novaminex system"
Result: The Provus system revealed a significant conductor that could represent laterally extensive mineralization, opening new exploration opportunities in the Tamarack Resource Area.
