PERSEPHONE is going to PDAC 2025
The annual Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Convention is the premier event for the world’s mineral exploration, bringing together up to 30,000 attendees from over 130 countries.
This year, PERSEPHONE together with representatives from HaDEA and 19 HaDEA-managed projects will attend the convention to present opportunities and achievements in the field of R&I for raw materials. Moreover we will also showcase the robot autonomy in action.
Dates: Sunday 2 March 2025, 09:00 - Wednesday 5 March 2025, 12:00 (EST)
Place: Toronto, Canada

Getting to deep mineral deposits safer and more sustainably
European industry relies on raw materials to deliver the plethora of products society and individuals need and want. As efforts to increase European independence ramp up and easily accessible mines are being depleted, innovative technologies are required to identify and extract resources at greater depths in existing or abandoned mines. The EU-funded PERSEPHONE project intends to address this need with technologies that enable autonomous near-mine exploration while reducing the cost and waste associated with deep mining operations and eliminating human presence in dangerous areas. Technologies will include risk-aware navigation, full digitalisation of the extraction process, online near-mine exploration core analysis and integration of related data analytics to the mine expansion.
