What does Imdex do?
Imdex is an ASX-listed mining technology company headquartered in Perth. Their products span mineral exploration drilling, structural geology software, geoscience data, and bench characterisation for working mines. The AI angle came largely through their acquisition of Datarock (a Melbourne computer-vision company specialised in drill-core analysis) and their continued investment in software that applies machine learning to subsurface data. The combined offering helps mining operators make faster decisions about where to drill, how to extract, and what is in the rock they pulled out. Listed on the ASX, customers are large mining companies globally. Acquired Advanced Logic Technology and Mount Sopris Instruments in early 2026, expanding subsurface intelligence capabilities. Worth noting: AI is one capability among several at Imdex, not their primary positioning. Listed here as one of the few publicly-traded Australian companies with substantial deployed AI in mining and a Perth headquarters. For a pure-play AI mining vendor, Plotlogic (Brisbane) is the closer comparison.
