According to Hugh de Souza, PhD PGeo with SGS Minerals Services, "It enables an order of magnitude increase in the amount of data extracted from the core compared to other techniques." SGS has coupled their geological and metallurgical expertise and on-site manage- ment strengths with Corescan's automated core logging capability. Corescan's hyperspectral technology cov- ers a wide range of alteration minerals and deposit types and is especially useful for intrusion-related and porphyry style depos- its; high and low sulphidation epithermal gold deposits; volcanogenc and sedimentary hosted massive sulphide and gold deposits, skarns, intrusion or shear zone hosted gold deposits, iron oxide-copper-gold deposits; sandstone and unconformity hosted ura- nium deposits; kimberlites and rare earth element deposits. Corescan's HCI-3 hyperspectral technol- ogy offers a variety of components that can analyze core, cuttings or chips. The unit consists of: an integrated RGB digital camera for true colour core or chip photography; a 3-D laser profiler with a vertical resolu- tion capable of measuring physical textures and crack morphology to enable the docu- mentation of structural features and core recovery; a high resolution VNIR-SWIR (visible-near infrared, shortwave infrared) spectrometer that identifies and quantifies phases; a unique co-registered spectrometer configuration that scans each core channel independently to facilitate more consistent and rapid mineral mapping; and integrated, secure, cloud based data management and visualization software. Recently, Corescan provided an onsite laboratory at Barrick's remote exploration camp in the high Andes, in the El Indio district of Chile, which operated through- out the 2014-15 field season. Corescan provided detailed mineralogical informa- tion that advanced Barrick's alteration knowledge and improved the geological modelling of the deposit. Barrick recently announced exploration success at this large, high-sulfidation, epithermal, gold deposit. "The delivery of real-time mineralogical maps to the field geologist at the core shed has been a dream for many years. Having improved mineralogical information 'at the rig' helps make better decisions, and builds better geological models, faster," said Neil Goodey, Corescan's Managing Director. "Corescan is proud to have had the opportunity to work with Barrick to showcase this revolutionary, fully-auto- mated, in-field work-flow." SGS and Corescan plan to continue to collaborate to develop technology and application developments to provide lead- ing edge integrated exploration and mining services. n SGS and Corescan collaborate to provide leading edge, core logging technology Corescan's mobile lab is equipped with a hyperspectral camera, a digital camera and a laser system for core logging.
