Minalyzer
Minalyze develops and produces advanced analytical instruments for geological data acquisition and related software for data visualization. Development and production of instruments and software are made in Sweden.

1.
SCANNING DIRECT IN TRAYS
Minimum preparation is needed to scan core trays with the Minalyzer. The Minalyzer scans cores directly in their trays and is in-different about the type of trays (e.g wooden, plastic, metal etc) and will scan core up to PQ in size. The Minalyzer also has the capacity to scan chip trays, pellets and pulps.

2.
HIGH-RESOLUTION PHOTOGRAPHY
High-resolution photography of core is consistently acquired and automatically managed in the Minalyzer. Provides a documentation prepared for the future and an ease of mind. Saves time on routine core photography and data management tasks.

3.
Topography
The topography scan in the Minalyzer generates a 3D model of the core and tray which constitutes the foundation for the following XRF scan. In bonus, several valuable datasets are generated from the topography scan.

4.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial intelligence applied on the topography model automatically generates the optimal scanning paths for fast and accurate data acquisition.

5.
XRF-SCANNING
Fast and continuous XRF scanning non-destructively generates high resolution analysis along the full core length. Receive more assay data while reducing sample preparation and logistics, without increasing the assay budget.

Photography
Photography
Continuous non-destructive XRF based analysis of elements from Magnesium to Uranium on high resolution.
Geological sample photography is routinely collected as part of the geological logging and documentation work flow in the industry. Geologists often refer to photographs for re-logging and verification purposes. The Minalyzer CS collects photographs of the sample as part of the scanning process with consistent quality and unmatched resolution.

Point clouds of sub-millimeter precision recreates a digital representation of your core tray.
Every sample is unique, in order to digitize and scan the sample with high precision, a topographic model of the sample is acquired as part of the scanning process. The topographic model is utilized for guiding the scanning process but also enables for generation of several value adding data sets as well as documentation and sample visualization.

Rock Quality
Rock Quality
Fracture frequenzy are measured as part of the workflow providing Rock Quality Designation values for any section of the scanned core.
Determining the Rock Quality Designation is traditionally a very time consuming task, however also a very important task especially regarding safety in operations underground. The Rock Quality Designation can be determined as part of the Minalyzer CS scanning process.

Structural Logging
Structural Logging
Based on core topography and imaging of oriented core, the alpha and beta angles can be derived digitally in an efficient, accurate and convenient way.
Oriented drill core provides a lot of detailed structural information about the geology of a project. Drillers mark the side of the drill core that either points down or up by using a special orientation device. Structural features, such as fractures, veins, and foliation, can be measured relative to the orientation line by measuring the so-called alpha and beta angles which is normally done by hand.

Specific Gravity
Specific Gravity
The specific gravity is generated on any interval along the scanned core through the X-SG method.
A great multitude of cumbersome and labor intensive methods are traditionally used to estimate the density of rock samples, for example hydrostatic weighing, gamma-ray densitometry or gas pycnometry. Minalyzer CS can accurately estimate the specific gravity as part of the scanning process.
