Brad Simser
- Principal Ground Engineer Sudbury Integrated NickelOperations A Glencore Company
"The more we dig into the data provided by DGI borehole surveys, and correlate that information to actual mining conditions, the higher the value we see in the information."
Adam Gorecki
- Senior Exploration Geologist, BHP"Great teamwork, collaborative planning, and diligent execution! I'm excited to see the products."
Use Cases
Strengthen your project’s foundation
MINING
Surface and underground mines across all commodities, including precious and base metals, diamonds, coal, industrial minerals, and brine mining. Common applications include ore delineation, geotechnical, dewatering, tailings dam, and leach pad optimization.
Exploration
Geotechnical & Civil Infrastructure
DGI supports a wide variety of geotechnical drill programs for the mining and civil infrastructure industry. Common applications include fracture analysis, geologic stress analysis, rock burst potential, foundation analysis, and rock mechanical and elastic properties estimation.
Hydrogeology & Environmental
Groundwater investigations for traditional and brine mining, infrastructure and municipal projects. Common applications include measuring porosity, pore size and permeability, measuring flow rates under ambient and stressed conditions, and mapping contaminant plumes.

Collecting Optical Televiewer data in Arizona
Our colleagues collected 7 different parameters, collecting Optica; televiewer data without destabilizing the hole, using strategic hole conditioning and bit placement.
DGI at SEG 2022 Conference in Denver, Colorado
Don`t forget to visit DGI Booth at all important mining conferences and have a chat with our colleague McLain Pray. Here, during a conversation with partners at the (segweb.org). This year's conference focused on ramping up critical mineral supply to meet the world's demands as humanity goes electric.
Modern technology used to uncover treasures
Our colleagues are also looking for treasures in the underground, with modern technology, using Sonic/Dipole and Bulk Density Logging.
Optical Televiewer surveys at the Rainbow and Ryan Dams near Great Falls, MT
We recently completed Optical Televiewer surveys at the Rainbow and Ryan Dams near Great Falls, MT. The surveys will be used to inspect the concrete, bedrock, and the interface between them. It was a pleasure working for Budinger & Associates on this project, and certainly had one of the better ‘views from the rig’!
