Mining & Exploration
Mining and Exploration
In
all stages of the mining process, you make decisions based
upon your mine model, judgment, and experience. You want to
maximize your exploration budgets, pre-screen laboratory
samples, identify drill targets quickly, reduce
re-mobilization costs, and get an accurate report to the
capital markets as fast as possible. Handheld Thermo
Scientific x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers represent the
state-of-the-art in elemental analysis for mining and
exploration applications, paving the way to a positive
return on investment.
Cost-effective Solutions with Mining XRF
More than 2,000 of our innovative x-ray fluorescence
instruments can be found serving the needs of the mining
industry. They provide a cost-effective and portable
alternative to expensive, permanent on-site labs or
costly and untimely sample dispatch to off-site
laboratories. They offer many operational and cost
benefits including:
- Rapid delineation of ore/waste boundaries
- GPS located mine samples that can be integrated
real time into production operations
- High sample throughput and increased sample
density over traditional lab methods
- Direct analysis of drill core and cuttings to
dynamically drive exploration XRF programs
- Real-time assay directly at the mine face, from
bagged samples during survey or drilling operations,
or from prepared samples
- Light element analysis without helium or vacuum
purging directly quantifies Al, S, and Mg levels to
perform effective alteration mineral mapping
It's Elemental with XRF and GOLDD Technology
The ideal tools for these demanding jobs are the
handheld Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzers, With a standard analytical range
from S through U, and optional lower detection limits
achievable with the Niton XL3 GOLDD Series - plus
light element analysis (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) without helium
or vacuum purging - you can identify element
concentrations at unprecedented low levels. This
means you get results even at or below the averages
naturally found in the earth's crust, detecting even the
most subtle geochemical anomalies.
Speed and Precision - The Ideal Combination
With remarkable speed and performance, as well as our
trademark point-and-shoot simplicity, our Thermo Scientific Niton XRF
analyzers offer improved value to you through faster results, better
precision and lower detection limits compared to previously
available handheld XRF instruments. They are the ideal
tools for measuring elemental concentrations in:
- Ores
- Soils
- Sediments, cuttings and cores
- Mill heads and tails
- Concentrates
- Filter media
On-the-Spot Results in the Palm of Your Hand
Engineered from the ground up, including advanced electronics and materials technology, Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzers
are in a class by themselves. For on-the-spot mine
mapping, geochemistry during geochemical exploration,
and real-time answers on the mine face, these instruments are the tools that can meet your needs - all
with the simple pull of a trigger.
