About a year ago, HYPERMINE officially spun out of VTT to continue to develop our real-time mineral sensing for highly efficient mining! ⛏️ #DeepTech #SustainableMining #Innovation #VTTstartup
Mines often make a million-euro call based on a few samples from a pile of rock the size of an apartment block 🪨 That inefficiency is where HYPERMINE began. ⛏️ Developed at VTT, HYPERMINE's technology combines laser illumination, hyperspectral sensing and machine learning to sort valuable minerals from waste directly at the excavation stage. ⛏️ The result is up to 100 times higher decision accuracy, up to 10% higher profitability for mines, and significantly lower environmental impact, including around 10% less energy use and 15% less water and acid consumption. ⛏️ HYPERMINE is now piloting the technology in mines across several countries.
