The mining industry generates vast amounts of geological material and diamond drill core throughout the life-cycle of any exploration or mining project. This material needs to be examined, logged, and assayed where appropriate. Currently this is generally performed through visual observations by...

As a spectroscopic matrix, helium nanodroplets exhibit many advantages over frozen rare gas matrices or other seeded clusters. Helium nanodroplets are superfluid, and interact only very weakly with embedded dopants, meaning high-resolution spectra are possible. Further, dopants are rapidly cooled...

Practical and Applied Reflectance Spectroscopy: Automated Drill Core Logging and Mineral Mapping
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis investigates three ways that automated reflectance spectroscopy can be used for applied purposes: the automated logging of drill core into ore-bearing and barren zones, the analysis of minerals to provide evidence of hydrothermal alteration, and the creation of mineral maps to show...
