RIMS for Regional Exploration
Resistant Mineral Indicators of Regional Prospectivity and Fertility
Magmatic and hydrothermal minerals that are resistant to weathering and so end up in soil, till or stream sediments are increasingly targeted in mineral exploration as tests for overall district or regional prospectivity or vectors to mineralization. Key trace element contents of dateable minerals such as zircon, apatite, titanite and rutile provide windows into source magma chemistry, including crystallization temperatures, degree of fractionation, water content, and oxidation state, with geochemical data that ties directly to the age of sources rocks and their associated magmatic events. Resistant minerals formed during mineralizing events provide direct evidence for the exposure of hydrothermally altered zones within a water shed or upstream of glacial deposits, with their chemistries pointing toward mineralized versus barren environments or even discriminating between deposit types.
布鲁克（Bruker）为抗性指标矿物（RIMS）勘探计划的不同分析需求提供了解决方案：
- M4 TORNADOandM4 Tornado Plusmicro-XRF provides rapid scanning of minimally prepared samples to provide spatially located geochemical data. Scan unpolished or coated scatter mounts of loose sediment or soil samples, crushed or intact rock, using geochemical proxies to identify minerals or integrate maps to calculate bulk compositions.
- M4龙卷风的Amics自动化矿物学micro-XRF and Scanning Electron Microscope allows two levels of mineralogical identification and characterization.M4龙卷风amicprovides rapid scanning and evaluation of loose samples without the need for polishing or conductive coating, providing first order data to be fed back into decision making, and screening for further analysis. AMICS for SEM is a more traditional automated mineralogy approach working with polished samples, but with advanced data collection and reduction capabilities of Bruker's AMICS software. AMICS for SEM andM4 TORNADO完全兼容两种解决方案可以工作吗in tandem.
Distal Alteration Footprints
远端改变足迹的矿物指标
改变矢量和生育repre筛查sent early-stage exploration techniques that have application where exposures are limited or where exploration is dealing with partial or extensive cover. Designed to access low-level geochemical anomalies preserved in alteration minerals, the technique aims to detect alteration even at significant distance from a mineralized center, to vector toward and assess distance to the target, and evaluate potential fertility or endowment. Common target minerals include epidote and chlorite in the "greenrock" environment, alunite or clay minerals to aid vectoring in lithocap environments, or white micas, which may occur in the distal reaches of alteration zones but give clues to deposit type, alteration zone, proximity, and fertility.

Bulk Samples
散装样品中的探路者矿物
这needs of greenfields exploration commonly requires a rapid, low-cost solution to screen bulk samples. Screening methods that target pathfinder elements as proxies to make decisions in the field, or guide funneling of samples toward the appropriate mineralogical or compositional analysis technique. For rapid screening of bulk samples for the possible presence of pathfinder minerals solutions include:
