Automated Consistent Workflow
1.
Scanning direct in trays
Minimum preparation is needed to scan core trays with the Minalyzer. The Minalyzer scans cores directly in their trays and is in-different about the type of trays (e.g wooden, plastic, metal etc) and will scan core up to PQ in size. The Minalyzer also has the capacity to scan chip trays, pellets and pulps.
2.
High-resolution Photography
High-resolution photography of core is consistently acquired and automatically managed in the Minalyzer. Provides a documentation prepared for the future and an ease of mind. Saves time on routine core photography and data management tasks.
3.
Topography
The topography scan in the Minalyzer generates a 3D model of the core and tray which constitutes the foundation for the following XRF scan. In bonus, several valuable datasets are generated from the topography scan.
4.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial intelligence applied on the topography model automatically generates the optimal scanning paths for fast and accurate data acquisition.
5.
XRf-scanning
Fast and continuous XRF scanning non-destructively generates high resolution analysis along the full core length. Receive more assay data while reducing sample preparation and logistics, without increasing the assay budget.
6.
Minalogger
Data extracted from the Minalyzer is presented in a web based cloud software provides an enhanced experience.
Explore a range of possibilities
One scan – several datasets
Chemical Assays
Continuous non-destructive XRF based analysis of elements from Magnesium to Uranium on high resolution.
Photography
A resolution of 15 pixels / mm combined with consistent light condidtions, provides unmatched clarity and detail in the core images.
Topography
Point clouds of sub-millimeter precision recreates a digital representation of your core tray.
Rock Quality
Fracture frequenzy are measured as part of the workflow providing Rock Quality Designation values for any section of the scanned core.
Structural Logging
Based on core topography and imaging of oriented core, the alpha and beta angles can be derived digitally in an efficient, accurate and convenient way.
Specific Gravity
The specific gravity is generated on any interval along the scanned core through the X-SG method.

Arsenic-rich Zones in Nickel Sulphide Mineralisation
Rönnbäcken nickel project is located in northern Sweden, and was until recently explored by Nickel Mountain Group AB. Drill cores from Rönnbäcken were analysed with Minalyzer CS.
Specific Gravity Estimation with Minalyzer CS
In exploration and mining it is important to know the density or specific gravity of rocks. Chemical analyses only report concentrations as a percentage of weight.
Planar Structural Measurements
The use of oriented drill core, if successful, provides a lot of detailed structural information about the geology of a project. Drillers mark the side of the drill core that either points down or up by using a special orientation device.
