This online course will provide an introduction to the practicalities of using portable x-ray fluorescence instruments (pXRF) in the mineral exploration and mining environment. On the first day, we will cover a variety of themes relating to pXRF best practices, including the strengths and weaknesses of pXRF, how pXRF instruments work, the value proposition of pXRF data, designing a fit-for-purpose pXRF survey and pXRF calibration. On the second day, a series of case studies will be presented on the use of portable X-ray fluorescence in mineral exploration and mining workflows including exploration for porphyry copper, low-sulfidation epithermal Au-Ag, VHMS and orogenic gold deposits, as well as a case study of how pXRF fits within a mineral exploration workflow.
Schedule:
Day 1 (April 12: 9:00am – 1:30pm PST) Introduction to pXRF
Day 2 (April 13: 11:00am – 4:00pm PST) Advanced Case Studies in the Use of pXRF
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for anyone considering or planning pXRF analysis, which may help you avoid costly mistakes down the road.
