What if the key to unlocking a gold mine’s potential was already hidden inside your drill rig, waiting to be discovered?

Orica Digital Solutions' Axis Mining Technology is helping mining and mineral exploration companies improve drilling accuracy, streamline survey workflows, and gain greater confidence in the data that drives critical decisions. Through innovative technologies such as the Champ™ Navigator, Champ™ Gyro range, and AXIS Connect™, Axis delivers a connected ecosystem that links drilling crews in the field with geologists, engineers, and technical teams in the office.

In this episode of Mining NOW, Peter Leckie, Senior Manager Product and Marketing- Digital Solutions, explores how integrated survey and core orientation technologies are changing the way exploration data is collected, managed, and used. Rather than relying on complex add-on hardware and manual processes, Axis focuses on seamless integration that simplifies workflows, improves reliability, and supports better operational outcomes.

The discussion highlights a real-world gold mining company in Victoria Australia, where an integrated core orientation solution reduced failure rates by 50%, resulting in more quality-controlled geological data and improved confidence in resource modelling and mine planning. By eliminating unnecessary steps and reducing operational complexity, the solution helped drilling teams capture more valuable data while maintaining productivity.

Learn how connected survey technologies, digital data management, and driller-operated solutions are helping mining companies improve data quality, enhance collaboration between field and office teams, and make faster, more informed exploration decisions. Discover why mining operations around the world are adopting integrated workflows to unlock better orebody intelligence and improve exploration outcomes.
