Since then, Hitachi has continued to lead and innovate in this space and today is a leader in technologies. We are proud to be continuing Hitachi’s founding mission, set by our founder Namihei Odaira, to “contribute to society through the development of superior, original technology and products”.
Exploration and Discovery
Exploration and Discovery
Explorers must find and evaluate the mineral deposits that drive the global economy. The green energy revolution requires new approaches and increased effort to identify prospects. With Hitachi’s unique analytical equipment and data services on your side, your team can gather data quickly and consolidate this data to make a data-driven decision. Contact Hitachi to learn about our solutions for prospect identification, vectoring, and characterization.
Development
Development
Discoveries require good geologic field work, planning, and luck. Once a deposit of value has been discovered, the hard work of characterization, assessment, and modeling begins. Hitachi empowers the growing data demands and geologic and engineering assessments with turn-key data infrastructure, advanced AI and ML modeling, and reliable scientific instrumentation. Utilize early geologic results to plan future mineral processing and identify secondary commodities. Collaborate with Hitachi for comprehensive site planning covering electrification, rail, IT, laboratory analysis, stockpile management, and numerous other elements of future mine infrastructure.
