Novamera Inc. is a Canadian company specializing in the mining of gold, copper, and other ores by employing innovative drilling techniques to extract resources from steeply dipping, narrow vein deposits. These deposits are often deemed uneconomic with conventional extraction methods. Novamera has developed a unique approach called Sustainable Mining by Drilling, which integrates high-resolution subsurface imaging with directional drilling in a two-pass process. This method allows for precise identification of the vein's physical shape, enabling more efficient and environmentally friendly mining practices. The company combines proprietary software and hardware with standard mining equipment to improve the efficiency and flexibility of mining operations, ultimately unlocking value in mineral deposits that were previously inaccessible. Headquartered in Mississauga, Canada, Novamera also has an office in Baie Verte, Canada.
