Identify Your Target Mineral in Real Time with EZ-ID(TM) Software and the SpecMIN(TM) Library on the oreXpress(TM) Field Spectrometer
See the OreXpress in the Spectral International Booth #500 at PDAC, March 2-5 in Toronto.
Lawrence, MA – EZ-ID™ software running on an oreXpress™ portable spectrometer is an ideal solution for fast, easy, and accurate mineral identification in the field. EZ-ID matches your unknown mineral against a known spectral library such as the SpecMIN™ library from Spectral International. With EZ-ID a geologist can use electable match regions for the identification of multiple minerals in mixtures. Stop by Spectral International's Booth #500 at PDAC for a demonstration. Bring a couple of samples.
SpecMIN includes an extensive and dynamic library of over 494 infrared active mineral species with more than 1,528 individual spectra. This unique spectral library includes a minimum of two different samples per mineral.
With the availability of the SpecMIN library, EZ-ID software can be used for real time mineral identification with outcrops, in pits, with hand samples, and is especially useful in fast and accurate core logging applications. EZ-ID can perform spectral matching of your unknown target to your library sample in as little as two seconds. EZ-ID features:
• Fast and accurate identification of an unknown mineral to a known library sample
• Easy to use – just collect a target scan using the oreXpress spectrometer and see immediate match results in real time
• Simple, consistent user interface
• Include or exclude spectral regions of interest for optimal results, especially helpful in identifying multiple minerals in mixtures
• Fast scanning for optimum field work or core shack logging – save money by drilling fewer holes in the field and sending fewer samples for assays form the core shack
With our Custom Library Builder software module, EZ-ID allows you to scan known samples and quickly build a custom library for a particular project, mineral, location, and more. You can select pre-defined metadata fields or define your own.
The combination of EZ-ID software and the oreXpress field portable spectrometer for mining offer geologists a complete mineral identification system to improve mining exploration.
The oreXpress spectrometer with companion GETAC PS336 handheld microcomputer features:
• 350-2500nm spectral range
• Auto dark shutter and autoexposure for easy, one-touch scanning
• No optimization required to start scanning – get to work as soon as you hit the field
• With the GETAC PS336, easily tag spectra with images from the auto-focus digital camera, e-compass, altimeter, GPS data, and voice notes
• GETAC sunlight readable VGA display
• Mineral contact probe with metal-clad fiber optic cable
• Lightweight LI-ion batteries for power in the field
• Accessories include core shack fold-up field cart and benchtop reflectance probe
