Our customer success is our success.

Several years of research and development paid off when our esteemed customer, Karelian Diamond Resources announced the identification of two diatreme-shaped electromagnetic anomalies which could indicate a kimberlitic source of green diamond indicator minerals. These anomalies are now a high priority in  company drilling plans in 2025. The finding has been made after Radai, on behalf of Karelian Diamond Resources, conducted a semi-airborne unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) based electromagnetic (“EM”) survey over the Karelian Diamond Resources’s green diamond target area in the Kuhmo region of Eastern Finland. (A full account of the survey can be read on the Karelian Diamond Resources website.) 

The company’s management praises the efficiency of the novel mineral exploration method developed by Radai:

 “We are delighted that this new innovative UAV geophysical survey has been so successful in the identification of a diatreme shape kimberlite target and possible source of the green diamond. This kimberlite target is further supported by the kimberlite indicator mineral fan, making it a very exciting and high priority drilling target. We look forward to progressing our exploration programmes both in Northern Ireland and Finland in addition to moving the Lahtojoki mining project forward as it moves to the next phase.” (Maureen Jones, Managing Director of Karelian). 

Radai’s multiskilled team of scientists, developers, and pilots was overjoyed when learning that the technology developed during years of efforts showed positive results from the field. Radai already earned a solid reputation for its high level of magnetic surveys services.  Now it is looking forward to further improving the electromagnetic survey system to the same high standards. 

Magnetic, electromagnetic, and gravity data are among the most sought-after datasets in mineral exploration. The novel mineral survey methods developed by Radai  (drone-based magnetic and electromagnetic systems) offer access to valuable geophysical data faster, and more cost-effectively than traditional ways.
