GEOSCAN GOLD

Gold and precious metal operations often lose value when ore chemistry changes faster than sampling and laboratory systems can respond. GEOSCAN GOLD provides continuous elemental measurement of ore and concentrate streams, helping operators identify variability, manage deleterious elements, support ore routing and make recovery-focused decisions in real time.

Key Benefits

Maintain consistent feed quality to processing plants

Reduce reliance on delayed laboratory results

Detect and respond to ore variability in real time

Enable data driven operational decisions

Support bulk diversion and ore sorting strategies

Proven Performance

The GEOSCAN GOLD is deployed in precious metal and mineral operations, delivering reliable performance in demanding environments

Continuous operation in harsh mining conditions

No wear parts, resulting in low maintenance requirements

Proven performance for precious metals, base metals and critical minerals

Supported by a global service and support network

Technology

GEOSCAN GOLD uses Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) with a high-performance detector system to measure elemental composition across the full conveyed stream. The system is configured and calibrated for the specific ore type and operating objective, with emphasis on the chemistry that affects process control and value recovery rather than generic grade reporting.

Applications

Typical applications within mineral operations include:

  • Gold ore monitoring
  • Precious metal and Platinum group metal applications
  • Bulk diversion and ore sorting
  • Stockpile building and reclaim control
  • Concentrate quality monitoring

Role in Process Control

The GEOSCAN GOLD operates as part of a broader measurement and control strategy within mineral operations.

It enables:

  • Feed forward control of downstream processing and recovery circuits
  • Feedback control of blending and stockpile management
  • Bulk diversion based on ore quality
  • Continuous decision support for operators managing ore variability

Unique Capabilities

  • Designed specifically for gold, precious metal and trace element applications
  • High sensitivity for low concentration and trace element analysis
  • Proven for gold and silver to as low as 0.1 ppm
  • Further trace metal capabilities being developed (PGEs, REEs)
  • Custom calibrations developed for specific ore types and applications
  • Proven on steel corded and chlorine containing conveyors
  • Non-contact with conveyor or material
