Case Study: Dundee Precious Metals improves underground mine safety and recovers additional ore with Exyn Nexys

Dundee Precious Metals - Customer Case Study

Dundee Precious Metals, a Canadian-based international gold mining company, sought to improve the safety and efficiency of its underground operations. Their challenge was that traditional methods for collecting geospatial data were time-consuming, limited in accuracy, and unable to access hard-to-reach areas. This prevented fully informed decision-making. The company partnered with Exyn Technologies to implement the Exyn Nexys, a modular 3D mapping solution with integrated aerial robotic autonomy.

The Exyn Nexys solution allowed Dundee Precious Metals to safely collect millions of highly accurate data points from previously inaccessible areas. The results were significant, including the discovery of additional, unmined ore in 10-15% of stopes, generating substantial value. In one instance, this led to the recovery of approximately $60,000 of ore from a single stope. The system also saved an estimated 400 man-hours per year, increasing operational efficiency. Exyn Technologies provided the data reliability needed to maximize output and minimize losses, making the Nexys an integral part of their daily operations.
