Novamera's Surgical Mining service combines geological modelling, subsurface guidance and large-diameter drilling to selectively extract narrow mineral deposits. The operating proposition is a scoped mining service supported by engineering and economic assessment.
Technical detail
Core features
Adaptive planning using geological and production data
Downhole imaging and orebody modelling supporting selective extraction
Rig deployment and production assumptions adapted to deposit conditions
Precision-mining
Critical-minerals
Use & integration
Recorded applications
Critical-mineral extraction from narrow deposits
Lower-footprint development of stranded mineral resources
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
Novamera reports a first commercial deployment at Great Atlantic Resources' Golden Promise deposit. Its production and waste-reduction statements remain project-specific company evidence, rather than established results for every orebody.
Commercial availability
Resource owners can engage Novamera for feasibility, planning and a turnkey deployment; rock conditions, access and project approvals determine feasibility.

Novamera combines mine-planning software, subsurface guidance and smart large-diameter drilling into a turnkey selective-extraction service for narrow-vein deposits. Its simulation uses the client geological model and production data to update drill plans; positioning and course-correction systems are integrated with conventional drilling equipment. Novamera scopes engineering and economic assessments with clients; production rate depends on rock conditions, hole size and rig deployment.

Novamera reports its first commercial Surgical Mining deployment at Great Atlantic Resources’ Golden Promise deposit; this does not establish identical productivity at other deposits. The reported workflow combines simulation, downhole imaging, AI orebody modelling and selective robotic extraction; percentage waste-reduction claims are company claims, not universal project outcomes.
