In the Innovation category, Descartes Labs was recognized for
its groundbreaking mineral exploration software, Marigold and its
recent integration of hyperspectral processing capabilities.
Marigold, leveraged by seven of the largest global mining
companies, has been instrumental in reducing exploration timelines,
cutting costs, and enabling data-driven decision-making, marking a
significant advancement in the field. The software's
high-performance computing and user-friendly interface allows
geologists to swiftly evaluate vast areas, formulate exploration
hypotheses, and minimize the environmental footprint of exploration
activities.
The Product Launch award was conferred to Descartes Labs’ remote
sensing Exploration Reports. These analysis-ready, property-scale
reports streamline spectral mapping and mineral index analysis.
Exploration Reports deliver exploration-ready information, allowing
users to bypass the complexities of raw data and jump straight into
data interpretation. The comprehensive suite of practical
deliverables, such as detailed PDF reports and digital outputs in
geotiff format, provide a clear visual representation of the area
of interest and facilitate immediate integration into existing GIS
exploration software.
Descartes Labs also received the Safety award for its innovative
InSAR-based deformation monitoring system, which enhances
operational safety in mining. The software leverages cutting-edge
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and interferometric SAR (InSAR) data
to detect surface movements, providing analysis within 18 hours of
data collection. This system has proven its worth by detecting
potential failures in critical assets.
Graeme Shaw, President and COO of Descartes Labs responded to
the honor by saying, "We are thrilled to receive these awards for
our innovative software tailored to the mining industry. This
recognition fuels our excitement to collaborate further with mining
companies to advance the efficiency and safety of their
operations.”
Descartes Labs' triple award win is a testament to their
leadership in advancing mining technology and their dedication to
streamlining the performance and enhancing the safety of the mining
industry.
