Innovative solutions in geology software
To assist exploration companies, drive productivity and cost efficiencies MICROMINE geology software has established a data connection between Geobank and portable geochemical analyser XRF machines.
This time-saving functionality allows MICROMINE clients to gain a rapid interpretation of a mineral’s properties while in the field.
How will this impact on-site productivity?
Geologists don’t have to wait for lab assay results to know what they are working with. Geobank’s geology software is compatible with most leading XRF models and accepts XRF data in the popular .csv format. Geobank can be configured to the user’s specific XRF requirements.
An XRF machine is a portable geochemical analyser designed for in-field mining and exploration uses. By scanning a sample, the XRF machine provides users with an immediate analysis of elements. The immediate identification of trends in mineralisation enhances the geologist’s ability to make on-the-spot decisions about geochem lines, drill targets, and sample inclusions or duplications.
Information generated by the XRF machine can be seamlessly communicated to Geobank, which provides the ideal tool to manage and make sense of the vast quantity of data generated. Geobank brings all the benefits of laboratory-style QAQC to the XRF machine, and allows users to maximise their investment in the XRF.
Accurate and efficient reporting capabilities
Geobank’s charting and graphic reporting capabilities provide a rapid visualisation of the XRF data. Additionally, the centralization of data ensures that XRF results can be compared quickly and efficiently to the actual assay results once they are returned from the lab.
Geobank’s QAQC tools enable users to provide increased relevance to XRF results included in announcements, building a stronger foundation for investor confidence. Operations can also reduce the amount of time before findings are communicated to the market.
MICROMINE and Olympus, manufacturer of the Innov-X Delta XRF machine, have collaboratively developed a ‘Geobank Export Template’ specific to Innov-X Delta XRF machines. This template simplifies the configuration process, saving time and effort.
