XRF Sales & Services
Our Expertise
CSA Global has been using XRF technology successfully in the minerals industry for over 10 years in exploration, grade control and environmental applications. CSA has recently acquired the latest Innov-X devices, the DELTA handheld and X-5000 portable XRF instruments.
CSA Global is able to offer a broad range of contract geochemical services to our clients including orientation surveys, mapping, drill sample analysis, grade control, baseline studies and environmental monitoring.
Real time control of exploration programs, mining or environmental site investigations requires accurate in field elemental analyses of samples. CSA's new product range provides an on the spot analytical service using the latest XRF technology. Backed by 30 years experience in exploration, mining and environmental investigations, our field teams can provide you with the analytical data to cost effectively control your on site programs in real time, and with confidence.
Applications in Exploration:
- Geochemical exploration: for orientation, reconnaissance or grid geochemical surveys - real-time detection of anomalies, no need to wait for lab results to carry out infill surveys.
- Mapping - regolith and outcrop mapping - assist with real-time alteration and rock identification.
- Drilling - auger, RAB, aircore, RC, diamond - in field analysis direct from the sample, instant results. Know when to stop drilling and screen samples before sending them for laboratory analysis.
Applications in Mining:
- Mapping - in pit or underground - obtain real time data at low cost and improve definition of ore waste boundaries and alteration haloes.
- Grade control - analysis of grab, channel, blast hole, RC and dump samples - low cost allows greater density of measurements, instant data provides greater flexibility in mine planning.
- Geometallurgy - multi-element analysis for input in flow sheets, real time refinement of processes.
Applications in Environmental Studies:
- Baseline studies - increase the density of sampling for the same cost as a regular soil sampling programme.
- Contaminated sites assessment - ability to analyse surface exposures (in-situ samples).
- Environmental monitoring - real-time results, allow earlier hazard identification and faster response times.
Why use Field Portable XRF?
- Ability to bring a "Mini-Lab" to the field - with obvious limitations of course!
- Quick, instant and interactive feedback.
- Pre-Screening of samples to:
- Make informed decisions at the sample location.
- Minimise sending low grade material to the laboratory - reduce laboratory expenses and long assaying lag times
- Refine your sampling program in the field
- Increase sample density easily at a low cost
