Mineral core logging
Core analysis with thorough mineralogical identification allows constructing a comprehensive picture of the geological structure and mineral zonation of a deposit. The results of the analysis provide valuable insights into the rock origin, history and characteristics.
Correct identification of lithology no matter how fine mineral aggregates are and ore variety during logging allows proper sampling for process tests, accurate variability study and geometallurgical applications.
Mineral assemblages and their time relationship are important to exploration and processing.
