NITON XRF Analyzers

Mine Mapping

Mine MappingCorrelating in-situ analysis data with exact location during exploration is an important component of predicting ore deposits to drive mining operation.  During excavation, this same type of correlation can be used to further refine the drive path.  Thermo Scientific NITON® 500 Series analyzers greatly simplify the task of mine mapping.  They can easily be paired with a Bluetooth™ equipped GPS receiver, and configured to automatically store latitude, longitude, and altitude coordinates along with the analysis data for each reading. 

Coordinates and readings can then be downloaded to a PC and imported into a mapping program for immediate map representation of ore boundaries.  

  • Fast, simple GPS integration
  • Automatic storage of location coordinates with assay data
  • Quick and easy download and import into external mapping software
