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.”

Technology Innovation Institute Completes Asteroid-Landing Probe for Landmark Emirates Mission to the Asteroid Belt5.10.2026 10:42:00 EEST | Press release
The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) has revealed the UAE-built probe it has developed for the Emirates Mission to the Asteroid Belt (EMA). The probe will soon travel to Colorado, USA, for final integration with the MBR Explorer spacecraft ahead of its planned 2028 launch. In a historic first, TII’s probe will image two planets and seven asteroids — flying past six asteroids in the main belt before culminating in a rendezvous with and landing on the seventh, 269 Justitia. If successful, the landing will make Justitia only the seventh asteroid in history to be reached on the surface by the probe. This press release features multimedia.

Agenus Reports 48% Estimated Three-Year Survival With BOT+BAL in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer at IGCS 20263.10.2026 17:50:00 EEST | Press release
Agenus Inc. (Nasdaq: AGEN), a leader in immuno-oncology innovation, today announced three-year follow-up results from the ovarian cancer cohort of its 400+ patient Phase 1b C-800-01 trial. The study evaluated botensilimab (BOT), Agenus’ multifunctional, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4 antibody, in combination with balstilimab (BAL), Agenus’ anti-PD-1 antibody. The results, including three-year survival and outcomes by sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy and by prior treatment, were presented at the 2026 International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) Annual Global Meeting in Montréal, Canada. Among patients evaluable for efficacy, three-year overall survival was 48% (n=35), unchanged from the two-year estimate, suggesting durable clinical benefit in this population. Responses and long-term survival were observed in both platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant or refractory disease. At the last follow-up, 25% of patients who received at least one dose of treatment (11 of 44) were alive
