Rio Tinto Project
Rio Tinto has engaged Cortex to deploy the Cortex MDP system to several sites across the Pilbara region, with an express interest in the downhole geophysical data that can be extracted.
With 3 RC and 1 Diamond rig deployed to an exploratory site, the data collected from both types of rigs (with twin holes being drilled for cross-platform confirmation) was then analysed to develop a downhole reporting system that can be utilised to measure and predict ground hardness in real-time.
