Operations Coordinator

The New Standard in Mineral Intelligence

Today, even the most sophisticated mining companies are in the dark about the mineral content of the ore they process. Decision-making relies on fundamentally inaccurate mine block models lacking any real-time information. This leads to loss of critical materials, final product price discounts and costly plant shutdowns.

Transition to precision mining is critical for the world, with metals like copper becoming central to the global economy. In the next 25 years, the world will need as much copper as has been mined throughout human history, with all of the world’s easy-to-mine deposits largely depleted.

Hypermine is a Finnish deep-tech start-up transforming how the mining industry extracts natural resources. Spun out of VTT and supported by Tier 1 mining company Anglo American, Hypermine is commercializing breakthrough mineral sensing technology designed to bring real-time, data-driven decision-making into the most critical parts of the mining process.

Our proprietary technology combines unique laser illumination, a patented hyperspectral platform and machine learning to identify minerals and ore grades in real time – 24/7 and in demanding mining conditions. By giving mining companies 100x more accurate information about the material they extract, Hypermine enables better operational decisions, improved ore recovery and profitability, and reduced energy and water consumption.

Following years of technology development and validation, Hypermine is now entering a new phase of commercial growth. We are working with 5 leading global mining companies across several continents, including Australia, South and North America, and are building the products, technology organization and capabilities needed to scale internationally.
