Core scanning is one of the most efficient ways for mining companies to discover new mineral deposits and to prove the quality of a deposit before beginning full scale mining operations. It is a very complex, but effective process of discovering the exact mineral composition of samples taken from a site.

Before you look to engage the services of a company specialising in core scanning, it is important that you develop at least a rudimentary understanding of this process. This will allow you to make a much more informed decision about who you will contract to provide these services.

Hyperspectral Core Scanning

The primary process for the scanning of geological core scanning is known as hyperspectral core scanning. This is a process where a core sample Women's Kevin Johnson Jersey , or even a smaller rock or chip is scanned or imaged in order to ascertain its exact composition. This results in a three dimensional data representation of the samples composition, which can then be analysed by skilled technicians.

The first method, generally used on large core samples, is a scan. The sample is laid out and slowly scanned by the hyperspectral device. All the images taken of the sample are collated into a single model at the end of the process.

The second method, which is used for much smaller samples Women's Nick Martin Jersey , is to take an instant snapshot of the entire sample. Instead of a slow scan, this method analyses the entire sample at the same time. There is no discernible difference in quality between this method and scanning - it is simply a way to cater for different sample sizes.

Mining Applications

As previously mentioned, the primary use for services such as this in Australia is mining. The mining sector has experienced a massive boom period and exploration efforts are at an all-time high. Millions of dollars are being invested by many small mining companies, in order to find the next big mineral deposit.

Core scans allow these companies to very quickly determine the viability of a mineral deposit or claim, due to the very precise information gathered on mineral composition. Despite being so useful Women's Will Fuller V Jersey , the equipment required to conduct core scans can be prohibitively expensive for small scale operations operating under tight budgetary constraints. Of course, larger companies own their own core scan and analysis equipment, but for the smaller players the best option is to engage the services of a qualified contractor.

What To Expect From Core Scans

It is important to have realistic expectations about what kind of services and information you can expect to receive from your contracted core scan company. Any company performing this task for you, should be able to transmit the scanned data efficiently and maintain comprehensive libraries of all samples taken from the site. This is crucial, as you will need p.
