This review describes advances in the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) group of techniques
published approximately between April 2014 and March 2015 and is therefore restricted to a …

Field portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometers are routinely used in mineral
resources studies. To date, mineral resources studies have largely focussed on the …

This is the 31st annual review of the application of atomic spectrometry to the chemical
analysis of environmental samples. This update refers to papers published approximately …

Large datasets are routinely collected during mineral exploration and mining of ore bodies.
These datasets often reach a size, or complexity, that makes it difficult to visualise their …

Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology is fast becoming an important part of the
geochemical toolkit for exploration geology. However, the relatively new development of this …

This review demonstrates advances in XRF instrumentation, techniques and data
processing algorithms published during the last year. Pixellated detectors and EDXRF …

In this study, results by direct portable XRF ('pXRF') on unsieved till samples were compared
with those by established laboratory methods (aqua regia or fusion ICP-MS and ICP-ES) on …

The Karangahake deposit is the third largest gold producer in the Hauraki goldfield,
Coromandel, New Zealand. Production was mainly from the Maria and Welcome/Crown …

In this study, we evaluate the use of field portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) as a screening
tool for dust source characterisation at two sites in Greenland, a natural site near …

Waihi Au-Ag mineralization is vein hosted within a relatively homogeneous andesite body.
Geochemical exploration targets adularia and pathfinder (As, Sb, Hg etc.) anomalies …
