Minerals Exploration
AGI Surveys for Mineral Exploration are used in grass-roots exploration for a variety of mineral deposit types as well as mine site characterization studies. AGI’s Passive Sampler detects the volatile organic and inorganic compounds emitted by these mineral deposits in a parts-per-billion range. Using sensitive gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy, combined with Amplified Geochemical Imaging techniques, a probability map is constructed, helping to focus exploration efforts.
Gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) and gas chromatography/atomic emission detection (GC/AED) analysis yields sensitive, compound-specific results that are used in identifying sources of mineralization:
