We Believe in Core Digitisation
and we know the challenges to realising its potential
At Digital Lithics, we believe in the power of core scanning—and we know what it takes to make it work. We understand both the value and the complexity of implementing a successful core digitization program. Our team brings hands-on experience across the full spectrum of sensor technologies and delivery platforms. We’ve worked within service providers, alongside end-users, and as independent consultants using and interpreting the data. This diverse perspective gives us both the technical confidence to manage complex datasets and a deep understanding of how core scanning projects should be designed, delivered, and maintained for real impact. We also know where things can go wrong—from equipment selection to data integration—and we’re here to help clients avoid those pitfalls.
Technology Services
At Digital Lithics, we believe that implementing a core scanning project is a function of change management; and the interplay between Geoscience, Data and Technology, which we visualize as The Technology Triangle. Each point is connected by project activities: Acquisition, Interpretation, and Value Communication.
Projects often start at one point but may fail at another due to an imbalance or uncontrollable factors. Some projects underperform because they haven’t balanced these three aspects.
Digital Lithics positions core scanning projects within the centre of Technology Triangle, ensuring investments deliver results at all stages. Our expertise in technology, data, and geoscience maximizes success and value. We apply these principles to our Technology Desktop Studies to scope, budget, and plan balanced projects effectively.
We offer:
- Core Digitisation Training and Workflow Development
- Technology Desktop Study: Assessing technologies and developing scanning strategies tailored to your needs.
- Core Scanning Technology Support: Scoping, budgeting, specifications, and procurement to ensure the right fit.
- Core Repository and Digitisation Planning Services: Planning and managing the digitization of core repositories.
Data
At Digital Lithics, we bring in-field experience and a deep understanding of core scanning operations to every project. With a track record of managing multi-million-dollar programs, setting up field-based core scanning labs, and working directly with scanning technologies in challenging environments, we offer clients oversight and confidence. Our project management services ensure that your scanning programs are well-planned, expertly supervised, and consistently delivered to specification.
Our Capabilities:
- Core Scanning Project Supervision – From field mobilization to office-based coordination, we manage the full lifecycle of scanning operations
- Data Quality Assurance & Control – We implement robust QA/QC processes to ensure data integrity and traceability
- Data Integration – Seamless uploading and management of scanner data into client databases and visualization platforms.
Geoscience
The acquisition of data is just the beginning—its true value lies in translating that data into insight. At Digital Lithics, we believe that interpretation must be grounded in the geological or operational problems our clients are aiming to solve. That’s why our approach is problem-driven, ensuring every interpretive output is tailored to specific project objectives and can directly support informed decision-making.
Our team combines scientific expertise in geology, geochemistry, petrophysics, and geophysics with practical, real-world experience across the mining, oil & gas, and geotechnical sectors. Supported by peer-reviewed publications and industry project contributions, we offer robust, scientifically grounded interpretations that align with both technical requirements and operational needs.
Example interpretation services could include:
- Problem-Driven Interpretation: Ensuring every output aligns with your specific project objectives.
- Scientific Expertise: Delivering robust, scientifically grounded interpretations for mining, oil & gas, and geotechnical sectors.
- Resource Prospectivity Mapping: Collaborating with Planetary AI to integrate workflows and enhance resource understanding.
- Hyperspectral Core Scanning Interpretation: Using Lithoscope software to turn hyperspectral data into actionable geological insights.
At Digital Lithics, we don’t sell core scanning tech, instead we partner with end users to:
- Demystify the options by offering vendor-neutral perspectives on the real differences between providers.
- We choose the technology that aligns with your deposit, project, or business goals.
- We remove the time drain of planning and management of suppliers so you can focus on data
- We interpret your existing core scanner data and partner with you to ensure that the business value of the data extracted
