Find Out More About Geochemistry and Hyperspectral Data Analysis
Exploration teams have used satellite imagery for decades to understand regional geology, map alteration systems, and prioritize targets. Until recently, however, satellite remote sensing was limited in its ability to identify specific minerals at the surface. A new generation of…
Stream sediment geochemistry is one of the most established tools in mineral exploration, providing a practical and powerful tool for targeting mineral deposits across wide terrains. The method involves the collection and analysis of sediments from streams and rivers to…
Legacy geochemical datasets often contain hidden structural inconsistencies caused by mixed analytical methods, detection limits, and missing metadata. This blog explores why understanding data structure must come before interpretation and how a method-family approach can help restore comparability without distorting geological signal.
Predictive models now drive high stakes decisions throughout the mining industry. The promise is clear: Enhanced targeting, improved resource estimates and more consistent mine profitability. Yet, many sites find that their models fail after real world deployment. Discrepancies appear between…
In mineral exploration and mining, precision and speed often define project success. Accurate alteration mapping is foundational to resource
As we wrap up our series on geochemistry laboratories, we want to take a moment to thank you for following along. Your interest in elevating the standard of geochemical data management inspires us to keep sharing insights that make a…
In the world of geochemistry, finishes often take a backseat to more headline-grabbing topics like sample digestion. But finishes are crucial to the accuracy and utility of geochemical data, and it is time they took center stage. Analytical finishes are…
Geochemical digests are the backbone of many geochemical analyses, providing critical insights into the composition of rocks, soils, and sediments. Selecting the right digest for your project is essential, as it dictates the elements you can analyze and the interpretability…
Crushing and grinding are essential steps when preparing drillcore samples for geochemical analysis. These processes break down the sample into smaller particles or fine powders, making it appropriate to analyze. However, contamination can creep in during these stages, potentially skewing…
Geochemical sample preparation from drill core is a critical step in the laboratory process, ensuring that the resulting geochemical data are reliable and representative. Here, we outline the general process, considerations, and best practices for drill core sample preparation. 1.…
