HyLogger4
Think inside the box with our hyperspectral mineralogical drill core scanner
HyLogger 4 is a highly advanced mineralogical core sample scanner that provides the high-quality data required to make decisions. Simply drill, HyLog, and reveal to get the data you need.
HyLogger 4 is built by geologists for geoscientists and geometallurgists. Each core tray is uniquely calibrated using traceable standards, ensuring confident comparisons across a single 1,000-meter hole or multiple drill holes. No matter the terrain, mineral system, or location, HyLogger 4 takes quick and precise scans and analyzes the rock in near real-time.
Once HyLogged, the digital data can be revisited to find other alteration or vector minerals not originally searched for, as metal markets change. This opens up new business opportunities and adds to the asset value of the core.
Benefits
Speed and repeatability: Quickly models the composition of a particular mineral system or location. Reduces risks while improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness. As every core tray is calibrated to NIST traceable standards, it is highly repeatable.
Pinpoint accuracy: Creates detailed geological logs (including 3D structural data), providing decision-makers with an opportunity to make better business decisions using near-real-time data.
Versatility and expertise: Works in diverse geological environments and recognizes a large suite of minerals.
