Mining and Exploration
In
all stages of the mining and exploration 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. Thermo
Scientific x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers represent the latest
innovations in elemental analysis technology 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
- 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
- Analysis of raw materials for determining penalty elements in coal (Fe), Fe ore, bauxite, limestone
- Light element and trace metal analysis for gas shale and mud logging applications
It's Elemental with XRF and GOLDD Technology
The ideal tools for these demanding mining jobs are the portable Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzers, With a standard analytical range from S through U, and lower detection limits achievable with our groundbreaking Thermo Scientific GOLDD technology -
plus light element analysis (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) without helium purge or
vacuum - you can identify element concentrations at unprecedented low
levels, e.g., dolomite in limestone. 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. Fit. Form. Function. Choose
the XRF analyzer that's right for you - the performance-leading
handheld Thermo Scientific Niton XL2 GOLDD and Niton XL3t GOLDD+ analyzers, or the ultimate choice in features and performance, our no compromise, lab-quality Niton FXL field x-ray lab.
Speed and Precision - The Ideal Combination
With
remarkable speed and performance, as well as our trademark ease of use,
our Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzers offer improved value to you
through faster results, better precision and lower detection limits
compared to previously available portable 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
for your mining and exploration needs, including advanced electronics
and materials technology, Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzers are in a
class by themselves. For on-site mine mapping, geochemistry during
geochemical exploration, and real-time answers on the mine face, these
tools provide lab-quality results with ease...in seconds rather than
days. Contact us today for a demonstration and discover how these versatile instruments can help with your mining and exploration requirements!
