| | | Lab-Quality Analysis in the Palm of Your Hand In all stages of the mining process, you make decisions based upon your mine model, judgment, and experience. Meanwhile, quickly obtaining accurate geochemical data to guide operations is one of the biggest obstacles to high productivity. The swift acquisition of this data for rapid delineation of ore boundaries and the in-depth, quantitative analysis of metal concentrations that you require for mine mapping and grade control is critically important for efficient mining operations. The ideal tool for these demanding jobs? The handheld Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t 500 Series x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, now available with groundbreaking GOLDD technology. The low detection limits achievable with the new Niton® XL3t 500 with GOLDD technology - plus light element analysis (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) without helium or vacuum purging - allow you to identify element concentrations at unprecedented low levels, even at or below the averages naturally found in the earth's crust, detecting even the most subtle geochemical anomalies. | | Thermo Scientific Niton Analyzers - The Revolution Since 1998, Thermo Scientific Niton analyzers have represented the state-of-the-art in-ield analysis for mining applications, allowing you to perform rapid, on-the-spot screening for qualitative elemental identification with a single measurement. With more than 1,400 of our instruments deployed in the mining industry, the ability to obtain instant, nondestructive data in situ signiicantly reduces the cost, time, and labor involved in exploration and grade control activities and allows you to make decisions promptly, before samples are dispatched to the laboratory. • Real-time modeling - ability to determine new drilling/soil-sampling locations before moving your drill rig • The ability to send and share XRF data to headquarters allows you to make integrated decisions, receiving input when you need it most • Infill and step-out decisions made in real time • No need to re-drill targets • Reduced lead times - especially important when exploration season is short | | |
