Drill core CT
Full 3D X-ray imaging of drill cores is a fast, nondestructive method that can fit into the drill core analysis workflow, allowing the geologist to get quick images and 3D information of each drill core, non-destructively. This allows the geologist to select good samples for further analysis by traditional methods such as assay, XRF, ICPMS, …

Slag sample: advanced analysis
The porosity of samples can be visualized and analyzed with CT scans and automated defect analysis. In addition, new tools are available to do permeability analysis of very porous materials – that means to investigate how gas would flow through a rock, for example. This is especially important for oil & gas mining industries. We …

Iron ore drill core
Even a dense iron ore core can be scanned, in a very short time, to provide visual information of the core in 3D, and measure void volume, for example. This type of scan can cover 120 mm of length in 4 samples per hour at the quality shown here Check these videos from this example …
