Results provided: Quantitative mineral composition of major, minor and accessory minerals with concentrations from
0.1% down to
0.001%. Accessory and ore mineral content is determined with higher precision and depends on proportion of heavy minerals. Quality control is done by XRF/ICP analysis. Includes water soluble minerals. Bulk liberation data on poor bynaries with light gangue avalable.
Objectives:
- Ore processing selection
- Reliable data for base metal and deleterious elements deportment in ores, flotation, leach tailings
- Geometallurgical domain classification
- Liberation data for ore minerals from binaries
- Acid drainage/neutralization calculation for tailings and waste rock.
- Theoretical grade-recovery curves for Au, Ag, base metals based on liberation characteristics.
Advantages:
Quick and Reliable quantitative information on sample mineralogical composition and liberation information
Disclaimer: some minerals can be analysed inaccurately because of their lower concentrations and overlapping signals.
