About our work at Red Chris Mine in BC, Canada
TruScan capabilities became a critical tool that Newcrest could use to effectively communicate the value and potential of the RedChris Project; enhancing transparency and confidence with investors and stakeholders. Using the rapid analysis, the Project achieved a remarkable reduction in taking on-site scanning through to public release in only six weeks. Ensuring that the market received timely updates on key a grade discovery between December 2019 and January 2020. "Not only were metal
values available for spatial modeling weeks in advance of final laboratory assays, but the data also helped prioritize intervals to be rushed to the lab."
