Mineral analysis laboratories have long played a critical role in the mining exploration process. Supporting both greenfield and
Working out the volume and quality of deposits is one of the biggest challenges prospectors and mine operators need to overcome. Assay techniques can help with this, allowing the concentration of valuable minerals and metals to be calculated.
The Australian landscape is renowned for being mineral rich and mining operations here have the potential to be quite lucrative. However, the country is also extremely vast, making it difficult to identify deposits, particularly of the scale required to make mining economically viable. That’s why experienced prospectors maximise their chances of success by working through several structured stages of mineral exploration.
