Minerals: Exploration and Discovery

Regional Geospatial Mapping

地球化学映射是矿物勘探,评估和采矿的基础。Bruker提供分析仪器和解决方案,使公司能够在现场或正向部署的勘探站点中生成高质量的地球化学数据。

Regional Geospatial Mapping

Regional Geospatial Mapping

Modern exploration programs are dependent on many components to unlock new mineral potential. Geospatial mapping at the regional scale represents a key building block and serves many purposes at different stages of the exploration process, each with different data needs. For example, rapid turn-around geochemical data allows faster decision making for ongoing exploration, including detection of geochemical anomalies in soils and tills, screening samples for pathfinder elements, or quantification of major and trace elements for lithotyping and alteration mapping. More comprehensive, high-resolution data sets may be required to build spatial models of the deposit environment and feed strategies for ongoing drilling.

Bruker提供分析仪器和解决方案,使公司能够在现场或正向部署的勘探站点中生成高质量的地球化学数据。从现场便携式到紧凑,但坚固的台面分析仪Bruker Instruments简化了采样和分析工作流程,从而使数据收集可以在需要做出决策的时间和地点发生。

Portable and Remote Geochemical Analyzers

Portable and Remote Geochemical Analyzers

布鲁克的expertise can help build a field-based analytical solution based on the appropriate instrumentation and robust sample preparation methods required. Working with partners Bruker has developed field-portable sample preparation protocols that allow high-quality and high-repeatability geochemical data for any program. Choose from手持XRFunits that are light enough to be carried in a back-pack, to compact countertop XRF units that can be set up in the back of a vehicle. Bruker analyzers don't replace a full lab approach to comprehensive geochemistry but allow a lab to streamline their approach and make more decisions in the field or remote exploration office.

Portable analyzers enable:

  • 快速筛选土壤或直至探路元素和矿物质的样品,以及快速的转弯土壤地球化学映射

  • Quick scanning of drill chips or core for monitoring lithological change and gradients in alteration intensity

  • QA/QC of sampling programs allowing monitoring of lithological and geochemical variability to ensure consistent and appropriate sampling intervals

  • QA/QC样品制备方法通过测量纸浆和标准品的重复项

  • 在原始实验室的地球化学中收集了样品和纸浆的快速重新分析,其中狭窄的元素范围收集。

Forward Deployed Solutions for Geochemistry

现场和正向部署的解决方案

现代探索方法和更高级数据基础架构的开发允许将数据收集的许多方面用于区域地球化学和地理空间映射,并可以将数据转发到勘探营和远程野外办事处,而数据是通过云传递到关键人员的,以减少和解释无论他们在世界范围内。仪器设计为从常规电源甚至电池中运行,以承受勘探环境中的操作,并从简单的用户界面运行,可以在远程办公室,核心棚,运输容器中生成实验室质量数据,甚至卡车的后部。结合现场的样品制备解决方案,区域地球化学映射从未如此简单。

Analytical solutions include:

  • Fully portable,TITAN手持XRFanalyzers for easy and rapid screening and QA/QC of samples destined for full lab work-ups

  • 布鲁克的CTX, a compact countertop XRF analyzer that is fully X-ray shielded and comes in a rugged case that can be mounted on work benches or even the bed of truck

  • 紧凑型台面ALPHA IIFT-IR for identification of clay minerals or other key alteration phases not easily characterized based on elements alone

  • Multi-sample benchtop ED-XRF analyzers such as Bruker'sS2 PUMA,这可以在紧凑的单元中实现高通量地球化学。

  • TheD2移动器benchtop X-ray Diffraction solution is often taken into the field in the back of a truck or van. XRD provides phase identification and quantification which is not only complementary to elemental species analysis, but also a necessary step in fully characterizing geological formations.
