Imdex Bolt: Underground Mining Technology

Imdex is a global mining-tech company known for its innovative solutions in the mining industry, with the Imdex Bolt being one of its standout offerings. The Imdex Bolt is a tool designed to measure blasthole deviation in underground mining operations. It integrates a north-seeking gyro for accurate measurements and has recently been updated to be lighter and capable of measuring deviations up to 30 metres deep. This offers significant improvements over the original version’s 20-metre limitation.

The Imdex Bolt is essential for streamlining the drill & blast process in underground mining, replacing the traditional ‘drill and blast’ approach with a more informed ‘drill, measure, analyse, and blast’ methodology. This shift facilitated by the Imdex Bolt is expected to bring about significant changes in the mining industry, making operations safer and more efficient.

The future goal for the Imdex Bolt is to become a staple in every underground mining operation, assisting in the transition to a data-driven approach.
