The Art Of Underground Mining and The Role Of AI In Mining's Future - with Raffi Jabrayan

In this episode we chat to Raffi Jabrayan, VP, Commercial Sales and Business Development at Exyn Technologies Inc, who are pioneering autonomous aerial robot systems for complex, GPS-denied environments within the mining industry. Raffi’s background is in supply chains and worked many years for Dundee Precious Metals before moving to Exyn into a business and commercial sales role, overseeing the expansion of the business internationally in the mining sector. He explains what Exyn Technologies does and how they are helping mining companies with underground mining operations KEY TAKEAWAYS Exyn is a spinoff from the University of Pennsylvania and is more of a software company in that they are hardware agnostic. The kinds of companies using the Exyn technology right now include Dundee Precious Metals, Anglo Gold and Glencore. Exyn were one of the first companies to fly fully autonomous missions underground in GPS denied areas. Exyn need no previous infrastructure or connectivity. The future of mining lies with AI and the level of autonomy that companies such as Exyn can provide. People will then move on to other areas of the sector.
