Heavy Mineral Studies
Heavy mineral analysis is a powerful tool for mineral exploration, provenance studies, sedimentary investigations, and resource evaluation. Our laboratory specializes in the preparation, concentration, and characterization of heavy mineral assemblages from sediment, sand, and placer samples. Through systematic separation and microscopic examination, economically significant minerals can be identified and quantified to support exploration targeting and resource assessment.
