The Jundee gold deposit, situated within the Yandal Greenstone Belt of Western Australia, comprises a structurally complex narrow-vein lode system. Gold mineralisation occurs in multiple basalt and dolerite units, sedimentary sequences, and intrusive dykes. Northern Star Resources Jundee Operation completes 430 000–460 000 m of diamond drilling annually, generating large volumes of core requiring rapid, accurate and consistent geological and geotechnical logging. Traditional workflows face challenges in maintaining high-quality Rock Quality Designation (RQD) measurements, standardised lithology logging, and reliable metre marking under operational pressure. These tasks are time-intensive and prone to inconsistency across shifts and personnel. The deposit’s scale and geological complexity provide a strong Justification for adopting automation technologies capable of improving efficiency, repeatability, and data quality.
