Seminar – Advanced Approaches to Mineralogy for Critical Minerals

Hybrid Event Monday 5th February & demo sessions Tuesday 6th February/Wednesday 7th February

Have you ever wondered what technologies are used for Automated Mineralogy and where and how they could be applied to your workflow for both exploration geology and mineral processing?

Come and learn from our experts who will explain the latest developments in automated mineralogy (TIMA and LIBS) and some real cases where the technologies are being applied to removing the guesswork and applying objective datasets on large scale analysis.

Applicable to exploration, advanced liberation and deportment studies, automated mineralogy is being used to increase operational efficiency for knowledge, modelling and to improve recovery.

Work smarter not harder!

NEW – Live Event at the Automated Mineralogy Incubator / AXT Perth

Due to the level of intesest in this event from WA, we have decided to run a parallel in-person event from our office in Perth (154/156 Francisco St, Belmont WA 6104).

The event will kick off at 12.00 pm noon (AWST) with a light lunch with the technical program commencing at 12.30pm.

After the presentations, we will also be hosting a facility tour so you can get up close and personal with the equipment used in the presentations and talk to our team of mineralogists.
