  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACQUIRING GEOLOGICAL DATA FROM A BORE HOLE
    Publication number: 20230399944
    Abstract: A system for blast hole data collection for use in a mine site incorporates an instrument configured to acquire geological property data of a blast hole for processing in the system or remotely and a vehicle having a handling system configured to move the instrument into and out of the blast hole as an interchangeable element with a drill string or prior to explosives charging and charging the blast hole in accordance with a determined charge profile.

  • Method and system for acquiring geological data from a bore hole
    Patent number: 11162359
    Abstract: A method of obtaining geological data pertaining to a bore hole that comprises supporting a ground drill and a separate geological instrument (30) on a vehicle (52), the instrument (30) being capable of acquiring geological data including one or more of geophysical data, petro physical data, mineralogical and compositional data and hole geometry data from within the bore hole; drilling a bore hole using a ground drill, the bore hole having an exposed circumferential wall; moving the ground drill out of the bore hole and subsequently out of alignment with the bore hole; lowering and subsequently retrieving the instrument (30) from the bore hole; and, operating the instrument (30) while in the bore hole to acquire geological data of the ground in which the bore hole is drilled.
