Full-Range Spectroradiometers for Geology & Mining (0.35 - 2.5 µm)

Field Portable NIR Spectrometers for Mineral Identification and Analysis in Mining Exploration

With Spectral Evolution’s field-portable UV-VIS-NIR spectrometers and EZ-ID mineral identification software, geologists can measure and identify minerals within seconds and cover more ground than by using traditional methods. They can identify different mineral phases, create mineral alteration maps and more accurately identify mineral pathfinders for vectoring to ore deposits. Spectral Evolution’s field-portable, battery-operated oreXpressoreXplorer and oreXpert ultra-high resolution UV-VIS-NIR spectrometers are designed for mineral identification in mining exploration. The oreXpress, oreXplorer and oreXpert provide quick payback with faster, more accurate mineral identification in exploration for gold, silver, diamonds, iron, nickel, copper, uranium, aluminum – in the field, core shack, or in the lab.

Short Description

  • The oreXpress provides quick, reliable mineral analysis with a standard resolution of 3 nm.
  • The oreXplorer delivers higher resolution and sensitivity for identifying hard-to-unmix minerals with similar features.
  • The oreXpert is the highest resolution spectrometer on the market. Its 1.5 nm resolution allows the distinction of features that help with unmixing and identification of trace minerals.

 

Key Features

  • Full UV/VIS/NIR spectral range of 350-2500nm
  • Fast scanning and ease-of-use – one touch operation, auto- optimiSation on every scan
  • Portable, lightweight unit with optional ALGIZ 8X rugged handheld tablet – easy for one person to use
  • ALGIZ 8X becomes your field notebook – record audio notes, add your GPS position, take pictures of your samples, save it all and tag it to your scan
  • Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries- lightweight, four hour operating life
  • Immediate start-up – no warm up – start taking readings immediately to take advantage of daylight and weather
  • DARWin SP data acquisition software collects your critical data, saves in ASCII files – no post-processing necessary – use with SpecMIN, GRAMS, TSG, Unscrambler from Camo Analytics and other 3rd party software
