Geochemical Exploration
Geochemical exploration can be a costly exercise for many mining companies; both financially and in terms of time. The TSW Analytical team aim to improve these geochemical exploration protocols to benefit Western Australia’s mining community. Our scientists have developed new methods which can be applied to all exploration ore samples, which offer a more targeted approach to exploration.
Leaching Technology
Developed by Professor John Watling, the Scientific Director of TSW Analytical, our innovative leaching technology can provide a cheap and effective means to survey for and detect underlying ore bodies. Up to 60 elements can be analysed for simultaneously, the results of which can be interpreted to provide indications of deposits which may be too deeply buried or have too weak a surficial geochemical signature to be detected by traditional methods.
TSW Analytical scientists have technical competence in analytical chemistry, geochemical data interpretation, mineralogy and extraction processes. The team are recognised by industry as extremely valuable to their future profitability. These initiatives in the commercial sector ensure that the research we undertake is of an applied nature and is recognised as useful to a recovering national industry sector.
