MSALABS: How PhotonAssay Is Transforming Mining Assay Turnaround Times and Decisions #396
Fast, reliable assay data can have a major impact on mining decisions. When geochemical results take days or weeks to return, exploration programs can lose momentum and mining teams may have to make important decisions without the latest information from the lab.
In this Mining NOW episode, host Jerrod Downey speaks with Ashok Kumar, Director, Technical & Projects at MSALABS, about the technologies helping mining companies accelerate geochemical analysis and improve laboratory efficiency.
A major focus of the conversation is PhotonAssay, MSALABS’ rapid assay technology that uses high-intensity X-rays to analyze samples and produce results in under two minutes. The technology can also process larger sample masses than conventional fire assay, providing mining companies with faster access to geochemical data while supporting representative analysis.
Ashok also discusses the growing role of on-site laboratories and mine-site support, along with automation, QA/QC, local technical expertise, and the operational requirements involved in delivering reliable assay results closer to where mining decisions are being made.
Faster turnaround can be particularly valuable for mineral exploration, drilling programs, production planning, and other applications where timely assay information helps teams determine their next move. As mining companies look for ways to improve productivity and shorten decision cycles, modern geochemical laboratories are becoming an increasingly important part of the process.
Watch the full Mining NOW episode to learn how MSALABS and PhotonAssay are helping mining companies accelerate assay turnaround, support exploration and production decisions, and modernize geochemical analysis.
