Geochemical testing for the minerals exploration industry.
The advent of sensitive, rapid throughput instrumentation has revolutionised exploration geochemistry in the last two decades. Large multi-element packages with detection limits commensurate with crustal abundances of the analytes are available at Intertek for Total Quality Assurance exploration purposes at affordable prices. A variety of digests are offered which include multi-purpose aqua regia, four acid "total" digests along with specialised biogeochemical and partial digests specifically for greenfields exploration.
Mineral sample decomposition:
One of the first considerations in choosing an exploration method is the decomposition technique to be employed. Sample decomposition techniques include acid digestion and fusions:
- Aqua Regia Digestion
- Multi-Acid Digestions
- Trace Elements by XRF
- Partial Digest Geochemistry
- Biogeochemistry
- Hydrogeochemistry
