Geochemistry
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…
Read MoreCrushing 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…
Read MoreGeochemical 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.…
Read MoreGeochemistry is a fundamental part of mineral exploration and mining, providing data essential for decision-making. Behind every data point is a detailed laboratory process. To clarify this process and highlight the work done in geochemical laboratories, LKI Consulting si launching…
Read MorepXRF has many applications both within and outside of mining and mineral exploration. In no industry has a vendor ever told a client to take the pXRF, point, shoot, and voilà – you now have a robust dataset that is…
Read MorePerhaps a bit unconventional for these blog posts, but I want this to revolve front and center around this amazing resource I found from ALS Labs in the depths of my hard drive… a periodic table of the elements that…
