The Power of pXRF for Cost-Effective Decisions for Mineral Exploration Programs

A recent paper published by the University of Waikato in New Zealand illustrates the value of portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) when paired with QA/QC processes as a powerful tool for quick and cost-effective decision-making in mineral exploration programs.

The paper by Benjamin S. Andrew and Shaun L. L. Barker is titled “Determination of carbonate vein chemistry using portable X-ray fluorescence and its application to mineral exploration.” An Olympus portable XRF analyzer was used to evaluate samples and identify veins with multiple generations of carbonate infill from Mount Isa, Northwest Queensland, Australia. The case study demonstrated that portable XRF could be used to identify veins with multiple generations of carbonite infill.
