Application of EDXRF handheld to optimize exploration strategies
Stream sediment chemistry and heavy mineral concentrates (HMC) are basic tools for exploring ore deposits. Fast analytical results are needed to optimize exploration strategies. Using an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) handheld fixed on a stage, the analysis could be done in the field providing informative results to optimize the exploration strategy. We investigated in the laboratory the effect of ... Read more
