The Critical Mineral Expert Series continues with a focused look at one of mining’s most powerful tools for fast decision-making: X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Designed for mining professionals, exploration geologists, and process engineers, this session unpacks how XRF provides the speed, flexibility, and accuracy needed to keep critical mineral workflows moving.
You’ll also get a portfolio walkthrough of XRF solutions—from portable and benchtop to high-performance systems—plus expert guidance on selecting the right tool for your environment.
In just 25 minutes, gain the essential insights to sharpen your quality control strategy with XRF and apply them directly to your operations.
