Natural muon technology to guide drilling with scientific precision.
Natural muon technology to guide drilling with scientific precision.
ÑANDÚ is a subsurface exploration technology based on particle physics that reveals what lies beneath the surface—without drilling.
By detecting natural muons—cosmic ray particles that constantly pass through the Earth—and deploying specialized sensors above or below ground, ÑANDÚ reconstructs three-dimensional density maps of the subsurface.
This passive, continuous, and non-invasive system enables the mining industry to make better-informed decisions, reduce geological risk, and optimize drilling campaigns.
All data is processed in the cloud using advanced algorithms and AI models.
The project is currently in a technical validation phase over a real volume of 10 million cubic meters, with the objective of becoming a next-generation standard in mineral exploration.
ÑANDÚ marks a decisive step toward a more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable mining industry.
The ÑANDÚ project aims to revolutionize subsurface exploration by offering a scientific, precise, and less invasive alternative to traditional drilling methods.
In conventional exploration, companies must drill multiple boreholes across a site to gain partial insights into the underground geology. This approach is costly, time-consuming, and provides limited 3D coverage.
ÑANDÚ proposes a different path: it uses sensor capsules deployed in a few key drill holes to detect muons—cosmic particles that continuously pass through the Earth. These capsules act as detectors, capturing muon trajectories and allowing the reconstruction of a detailed image of the subsurface, similar to a radiograph or tomography.
This significantly reduces the number of drill holes required, while increasing coverage and precision. All collected data is processed in the cloud using advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence, generating 3D density models that clearly reveal geological structures, mineral bodies, or underground voids.
In essence, ÑANDÚ transforms exploration into a smarter process: more data, fewer drill holes, better decisions.
