OilDynamix CEO Unveils AI-Powered Mining Technology, Promises Faster, Cheaper Mineral Discovery

"Oil Dynamix approach significantly lowers exploration costs while improving confidence in geological data." Dr. Vincent Amu, CEO OilDynamics 

.... Says "the company has successfully deployed the technology in several countries and is currently expanding its footprint across Africa." 

.... "Time is money. If you save time, you save money. Accurate information increases recovery rates and reduces investment risks. The future of mining lies in technology-driven exploration." 

An indigenous technology company with huge acclaim internationally, Oil Dynamix Limited, has unveiled an innovative mineral exploration solution that it says could transform Africa's mining sector by dramatically reducing the time and cost required to identify commercially viable mineral deposits.

Speaking at the 2026 summit, the Chief Executive Officer of Oil Dynamix Limited, Dr. Vincent Amu, disclosed to journalists on rhr sidelines that the company's proprietary technology, known as Thermovision Tomography, can map mineral resources with up to 95 per cent accuracy and deliver results within months rather than years.

According to Dr. Amu, the technology leverages satellite imagery, artificial intelligence and patented analytical algorithms to detect heat signatures emitted by mineral deposits, enabling rapid and precise identification of their location, quality and quantity.

"The major takeaway is that we now have a technology capable of unlocking Africa's vast mineral potential within a few months. What traditionally takes years can be achieved much faster, with a high degree of accuracy and reliability," Amu said.

He noted that conventional exploration methods are often expensive, slow and prone to inaccuracies, discouraging investment in the mining sector. He added that Oil Dynamics' approach significantly lowers exploration costs while improving confidence in geological data.

Amu revealed that the company has successfully deployed the technology in several countries and is currently expanding its footprint across Africa. He disclosed plans to undertake large-scale mineral mapping projects in countries such as Botswana, where nationwide mapping could be completed in a matter of months instead of years.

He argued that unreliable exploration data has historically led investors to abandon mining projects after failing to discover the expected mineral deposits.

"Many companies have lost substantial resources because the minerals they were told existed were either absent or available in far smaller quantities than projected. Our philosophy has always been simple: what we say is there is what you will find," he stated.

The Oil Dynamix CEO also called on governments across Africa to introduce incentives aimed at encouraging indigenous participation in mining.

Among the measures he recommended were duty-free importation of mining equipment, tax holidays for emerging mining firms, and lower licensing costs.

According to him, such incentives would reduce operational costs and make the sector more attractive to local investors.

He further stressed the need for governments and industry players to embrace modern technologies capable of delivering more reliable exploration outcomes.

"Time is money. If you save time, you save money. Accurate information increases recovery rates and reduces investment risks. The future of mining lies in technology-driven exploration," he said.

Amu revealed that several Nigerian states, including Cross River, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Benue and Kogi, have already shown interest in deploying the technology for mineral mapping and resource development.

He expressed confidence that advanced exploration tools, combined with supportive government policies, could accelerate the growth of Nigeria's mining industry and position the country as a leading destination for mineral investment in Africa.
