The Challenge
Chemical analysis tells you what elements are present. But minerals determine how ore actually behaves.
Geology
"Chemistry ≠ Behavior"
Ore variability undermines your block model predictions.
Dilution, misclassification, unexpected processing issues.
Metallurgy
"Grades ≠ Recovery"
Recovery gaps directly impact your bottom line.
Lost metal, reagent inefficiencies, missed production targets.
Tailings
"Chemistry ≠ Stability"
Reactive minerals put your operating license at risk.
ARD risks, regulatory violations, closure cost overruns.
One Technology. Three Applications.
Mine Planning
Geology
Build Block Models That Predict Plant Behavior
- Identify domain boundaries before they impact the mill
- Re-analyze historical core and pulp samples at scale
- Create predictive block models grounded in mineralogy
Recovery & Deportment
Metallurgy
Close Recovery Gaps. Understand Metal Loss.
- Deportment: submicron gold, refractory sulfides, locked Cu-Ag
- Trace metal losses throughout your flowsheet
- Reduce uncertainty in recovery rate predictions
Shared Capabilities
wt% detection (ppm-level phases)
samples in weeks
sample density
sample re-analysis
Compliance & Stability
Tailings
Protect Your License to Operate
- Identify amorphous phases, reactive minerals, and ARD risk factors
- Quantify pyrrhotite, clays, and carbonates at scale
- Support NI 43-101 / JORC compliance requirements
- Historical tailings characterization and re-assessment
Why This Matters
From Question to Decision
Three steps to actionable mineralogy data
Free Consultation
Discuss your question, define possible volume, timeline, and deliverables.
Mikro Pilot
5 samples, less than 2 weeks turnaround. Prove the concept works for you.
Project
Full mineralogical reports with ongoing consultation and support.
Why Momentum-Transfer?
ppm-Level Detection
Identify submicron phases others miss. Down to 0.01 wt%.
Mine-Scale Volume
Process 10,000+ samples in weeks, not months.
Amorphous Phases
Characterize clays, crypto-crystalline, and disordered materials.
No Size Limit
Analyze colloidal gold and ultra-fine sulfides. No particle too small.
