RIGEL-IMIS is Orion Integrated Biosciences’ analytical system for supporting illicit-mining intelligence, risk awareness, and partner-government decision-making. Illicit mining is not only an environmental crime. In many regions, it functions as a criminal economy that can finance armed groups, transnational criminal organizations, terrorist-linked networks, and associated illicit actors.
RIGEL helps authorized partners organize complex information, identify risk patterns, improve situational awareness, and support lawful disruption strategies. The system is designed to assist analysts and decision-makers, not replace professional judgment or government authority.

Integrated Threat Awareness
RIGEL helps partners understand illicit mining as a connected system of extraction, logistics, finance, coercion, and criminal control. By supporting risk-informed analysis and decision-making, RIGEL contributes to more coordinated, lawful, and sustainable responses to illicit-mining networks.
