Transform RC or Aircore chip tray imagery into structured, quantitative datasets that deliver faster insights, data-driven domaining and more confident exploration decisions.
Machine learning workflows to extract value from chip imagery
Overview
From inconsistent chip logs to interpretation ready data
Manual chip logging is slow, inconsistent, and subjective. Valuable chip imagery often sits idle until assays arrive – delaying decision and wasting drilling metres.
Datarock Chip replaces manual logging with an automated machine learning workflow that detects trays, segments compartments, and extracts measurable attributes, providing analytics ready data within hours.
Built for:
- Exploration Managers
- Chief Geologists
- Field Geologists
- Resource Geologists
- Data Scientists
- Geoscience Data Managers
