Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, has acquired an advanced analytical instrument for their Geoscience Drill Core Laboratory under a new agreement with Swedish analytical instrument developer, Minalyze AB.

SGS announced today that it has entered into a strategic collaboration with Minalyze AB to provide near real-time geochemical based analysis on drill core through the Minalyzer CS scanner.

The Swedish-developed Minalyzer Core Scanner technology will be available to the resources sector through CSIRO, which is the first research organization in the world with access to a Minalyzer Core Scanner in-house.
