Specific Analyses for Specific Mining Processes
From exploration to post-processing — mineralogical solutions designed around your operational needs.
Process-Specific Solutions
When the goal is to understand the structural composition and potential of a deposit
Early-stage exploration and geological characterization
Detailed mineralogical analysis for early-stage samples, particularly when accurate phase quantification, crystallinity, or trace-level detection is required. Synchrotron-based measurement is recommended for high-resolution structural information and identification of complex or low-abundance phases. A lighter option using client-provided XRD data is available for preliminary screening and regional comparison.
Available Services
- Phase identification + Rietveld refinement based on synchrotron data
- Alternatively, rapid phase identification and quantitative analysis from client-provided lab data (e.g., for sample screening)

When fast-cycle mineralogical data is needed to support decision-making
Process monitoring and quality control
This service supports operational decision-making where fast and consistent mineralogical data is needed. We deliver clear, ready-to-use results within one business day from your raw XRD file – no software handling or manual phase selection required. Ideal for routine process monitoring, flotation efficiency tracking, and quality checkpoint analysis.
Available Services
- Phase identification + Rietveld refinement based on synchrotron data
- Typical turnaround time: 1 business day

When you need to know what was left out of the process – and what can still be done with it
Post-process evaluation and residue analysis
We provide quantitative analysis of tailings and concentrate samples to clarify residual mineral content and assess potential for further recovery or environmental considerations. Results support decision-making in metal recovery optimization, secondary processing, or tailings risk assessment. For samples with complex or poorly crystalline phases, synchrotron analysis can be recommended to provide additional insights.
