oreXpress
Spectral Evolution – NIR
Identify minerals in the field
The oreXpress™ spectrometer brings the capabilities of a full-range NIR instrument directly to field geologists. It streamlines mineral identification, making the process quicker and more reliable.
Beyond on-site measurements, the oreXpress is also well suited for detailed core-shack logging. In one documented case, using the oreXpress reduced core logging time dramatically—from six hours down to just two.
The oreXpress™ delivers fast, dependable mineral identification and analysis with the resolution professionals expect. It’s a proven, durable spectrometer trusted by hundreds of geologists around the world.
