Session Details
Join Actlabs for presentations on innovations in geochemical analysis
Advanced analytical techniques for critical minerals – Laser ablation ICP-MS (Alan Koenig)
- Demonstrate how laser ablation and microanalytical techniques enhance geochemical understanding of critical minerals and precious metals systems.
- The importance of analytical precision in supporting exploration and low-carbon strategies.
Geochemistry case studies over gold mineralization using selective extractions on soil, peat and spruce bark (Richard Dyer)
- Overview of the science behind weak and selective leaches applied to mineral soil, peat, and bark
- Case studies comparing selective extractions on surficial media—including black spruce bark—over known gold mineralization in varying drift conditions
- Demonstration of improved signal-to-noise performance versus conventional near-total leach geochemistry over complex thick drift landscapes
- Exploration of vegetation-based selective leaches as an emerging, next-generation tool with possible applications beyond gold
Best practices in geochemical analysis: Improving the entire exploration to mining workflow with better geochemistry (Alan Koenig)
- Geochemistry as a cornerstone of exploration and mining success from program design through data interpretation.
- Explore best (and common poor) practices, including integrating new technologies into assay labs and geochemical programs.
