Field Portable UV-Vis-NIR Spectrometers for Mineral Identification and Analysis in Mining Exploration
With Spectral Evolution field portable UV-Vis-NIR spectrometers and EZ-ID™ mineral identification software, geologists can measure and identify minerals within seconds and cover more ground than by using traditional methods. They can identify different mineral phases, create mineral alteration maps and more accurately identify mineral pathfinders for vectoring to ore deposits. Spectral Evolution’s field portable, battery-operated oreXpress™, oreXplorer™ and oreXpert™ ultra-high resolution UV-Vis-NIR spectrometers are designed for mineral identification in mining exploration. The oreXpress™, oreXplorer™ and oreXpert™ provide quick payback with faster, more accurate mineral identification in exploration for gold, silver, diamonds, iron, nickel, copper, uranium, aluminum – in the field, core shack, or in the lab, and 
provide:
- Rapid data/spectra collection in the field – allowing you to take more scans in less time
- High resolution in a field instrument
- High signal-to-noise ratio for improved reflectance values
- Fast start-up and use with no optimization step required between scans
- Sturdy construction for harsh field environments
- Reliable operation with no moving optics and a robust fiber optic cable with quick-disconnect
- Rugged and reliable mineral contact probes for single click field measurements to measure outcrops, cores and chip trays
