Muon Tomography based on the measurement of multiple scattering ofatmospheric cosmic ray muons in matter is a promising technique for detectingheavily shielded high-Z radioactive materials (U, Pu) in cargo or vehicles. Thetechnique uses the deflection of cosmic ray muons in matter to performtomographic imaging of high-Z material inside a probed volume. A MuonTomography Station (MTS) requires position-sensitive detectors with highspatial resolution for optimal tracking of incoming and outgoing cosmic raymuons. Micro Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD) technologies such as Gas ElectronMultiplier (GEM) detectors are excellent candidates for this application. Wehave built and operated a minimal MTS prototype based on 30cm \times 30cm GEMdetectors for probing targets with various Z values inside the MTS volume. Wereport the first successful detection and imaging of medium-Z and high-Ztargets of small volumes (~0.03 liters) using GEM-based Muon Tomography.
