Grade Control
Ore-grade assessment helps manage blasting, excavation,
and hauling activities, optimizing the site blend provided
to the concentrator, while preventing grade dilution or the
erroneous transport of ore to the waste dump.
Effective grade control requires accurate elemental
composition data in large numbers of samples. Handheld
Thermo Scientific NITON® XRF analyzers provide several distinct
benefits to geochemists and mine program managers:
- Perform trend analysis by averaging readings in
real-time on the instrument or quickly download readings
to a PC for advanced data analysis
- Convert the instrument into a bench top analyzer by simply placing
the analyzer into the included test stand and operate
via wireless connection to a PC or PDA
- Realize high speed and sample throughput to ensure that
the samples sent to a laboratory are representative of the
local geochemical values.
Geochemists and program managers who require rapid
laboratory-grade sample analysis need only prepare samples
through grinding and sieving, and then test them on-site
with a NITON analyzer. Lab-quality sample preparation yields
lab-quality results with the NITON 500 Series analyzer.
