Olympus Solutions for Mining & Geology

Mining is a multistep process that begins with exploration, continues with mineral processing, and concludes with mine closure. Fast, accurate decision-making helps miners locate new sources of natural resources and provides substantial cost reduction opportunities by optimizing field time and maximizing drilling and analytical budgets.

Geologists in the field and lab managers use portable equipment like X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction analyzers (XRD) to get real-time material chemistry (XRF) and mineralogy (XRD) of geological samples as well as microscopes for traditional optical mineralogy and petrology.
