Portable Mineral Testers for Mining and Exploration
Power Over the Elements for Fast, Reliable Geochemical Analysis in the Field
In mineral exploration and mining, fast access to reliable geochemical data helps guide decisions in the field.
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)-based portable mineral testers, such as TITAN, provide immediate, on‑site elemental analysis of minerals to support exploration, geological mapping, and sample screening without the delays associated with lab-based analyses.
Mineral Analysis using Handheld XRF
Handheld XRF analyzers facilitate the non‑destructive analysis of soils, sediments, rocks, drill chips and drill cores directly at the point of sampling. This helps geologists to identify geochemical anomalies and lithological variations to improve vectoring toward mineralized zones.
The near-instant results delivered by handheld XRF support consistent, real-time decision‑making throughout the exploration lifecycle, from early reconnaissance to advanced drilling and ore characterization.
The TITAN XRF Analyzer for Mineral Testing
The TITAN XRF gun is designed for mineral exploration and geoscience applications where reliability, accuracy and ease-of-use are critical.
Housed in a rugged enclosure, TITAN is built to operate in the hot, cold, dusty or wet environments commonly encountered in the field.
Accurate Mineral Analysis with Calibrations and Light Element Sensitivity
TITAN delivers fast and reliable mineral analysis in the field using matrix‑matched geological calibrations for accurate elemental quantification. The detector's graphene window maximizes sensitivity, meaning light elements down to magnesium can be measured.
Reliable Results for Every Operator
TITAN is built to be used by everyone with an intuitive touchscreen interface and guided measurement workflows.
Integrated documentation and connectivity features support efficient data capture and transfer to databases.
Engineered for Harsh Exploration Environments
Designed for demanding field conditions, TITAN combines an ergonomic, well‑balanced form with advanced ingress protection, the patented TITAN Detector Shield™ and shock-proof casing.
This robust construction supports all-day field use with consistent performance and minimal downtime.
Geochemical Characterization of Drillcores and Chips
Accurate geochemical characterization of drill cores and drill chips is essential for building reliable geological and ore deposit models.
The TITAN handheld XRF analyzer provides fast elemental data for lithological logging and the identification of mineralization trends directly at the drill site, reducing reliance on lab-based analyses, which are expensive and slow down decision-making.
Advanced detector performance and an integrated aiming camera enable the targeted analysis of veins, textures and alteration zones within drill cores and chips. The results of mineral testing with TITAN are immediately available for interpretation and modeling via integration with digital logging systems.
Geochemical Screening of Surface Samples
For surface exploration, portable XRF analysis of soils, sediments, and rocks enables rapid geochemical screening during early‑stage exploration and mapping activities. Immediate elemental results support the identification of geochemical anomalies, lithological variations, and alteration patterns without delays caused by sample transport and laboratory turnaround times.
Optimized geological calibrations deliver dependable results even on variable or unconsolidated materials, helping exploration teams adapt sampling strategies in real time, control analytical costs, and accelerate decision‑making during reconnaissance and follow‑up programs
