Résumé

Mine optimisation and anticipation of ore behaviour in the mineral processing and separation circuits are major economic drivers for all mining operations. Recent methodological developments with the inception of geometallurgy across multiple commodities have highlighted the importance of mineralogy in addition to elemental grades. In the last few decades, many quantitative tools have been developed, mostly SEM-based such as QEMSCAN®, and used to provide the quantitative mineralogical compositions of samples. Their main drawback is the time and cost associated with sample preparation, acquisition time, and data QA/QC. The combined XRF-XRD of the SOLSA (Sonic On-Line drilling and Sampling Analysis) analytical solution brings a new methodology able to produce quantitative mineralogical and geochemical data at a speed compatible with a production environment. Its range of applications covers the entire life of a mining operation, from the initial exploration stage to mineral processing control, as well as waste management and environmental monitoring
