Imago’s cloud-based platform enables the capture, cataloguing, and review of drilling core and chip images from any source, to support every aspect of the geological process from exploration to grade control. Continued development of Imago’s machine learning will lead to a step function in the interpretation of geological data.
Mining companies around the world apply Imago’s solution in conjunction with geology data management and modeling tools to enable teams to make more confident, profitable decisions using instantly available, high-quality images. Seequent already integrates its Leapfrog, Oasis montaj, Target, and Minalytix MX Deposit with Imago’s solution, making it easy for geologists, engineers, and other stakeholders to extract knowledge and learn from geoscientific imagery. The goal is to unlock significant potential for mining and other industries, transforming image data into meaningful insights for geological activities.
Graham Grant, chief executive officer of Seequent, said, “It’s an exciting step to welcome the Imago team on board to help advance Seequent’s progression into the cloud. We’re continually exploring ways to provide new technologies and solutions to solve workflow challenges, improve operational efficiency, and deliver greater value for our users who are working to solve some of the world’s major civil, environmental, and energy challenges. This acquisition demonstrates Seequent’s continued growth and our commitment to make a positive contribution to the industries we serve globally.”
Imago’s co-founder Federico Arboleda said, “As a small team in Phoenix and Perth, we’re excited to join forces with Seequent, as this will now allow us to substantially scale Imago’s solutions in mining and other markets. We founded Imago to help mining companies manage the high volume and size of geological images and unlock the great value in this geoscience imagery. Image data is an increasingly important source of data across the geosciences—and can come from potentially any source, including core photos, hyperspectral, aerial photos, drones, and handheld devices. It will become even more important to transform image data into knowledge as automation needs increase.”

New Research Reveals the Next Wealth Management Divide: AI Rewards Firms Built to Scale10.6.2026 13:34:00 EEST | Press release
The next competitive divide in banking, wealth and asset management will not be defined by innovation alone, but by firms’ ability to scale it profitably. That is the central finding of new research that Objectway, a global wealthtech partner for banking, wealth and asset management firms, conducted in collaboration with FT Longitude, a specialist provider of thought leadership and research services. The report, Built to Scale, is based on a survey of 300 senior professionals across banks, wealth and asset managers in the UK, continental Europe and Canada. Altough digital transformation and AI adoption are advancing rapidly across the industry, many firms are struggling to translate investment into repeatable, profitable growth. The findings point to a market entering a new phase of competition, where scalable executionis becoming more important thaninnovation capacity alone. Reflecting on this shift, Luigi Marciano, Founder and Group CEO of Objectway, commented: “For years, the indust
