Compared to traditional laboratory techniques, the Vanta analyzer can provide geochemical data that aids in making informed decisions more quickly, enabling users to quickly achieve a return on investment (ROI). Making the right decisions in the exploration phase can more effectively utilize fieldwork hours, allocate exploration budget funds more reasonably, and advance the project timeline.

The Vanta analyzer for mining and geochemistry is equipped with software developed in collaboration with industrial experts, featuring the following characteristics:

• Integrated GPS provides georeferenced location information for exploration and environmental sample collection.
  

• Connectivity through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allows for real-time transmission of results to the base and seamless integration of data into third-party software applications. Cloud technology can be utilized.

• Aboard spectral viewing function, capable of quickly distinguishing spectral overlaps.

Durable and reliable, suitable for mining applications in various environments.

In various mining and geochemical applications, the Vanta handheld XRF analyzer provides immediate elemental measurements on-site, enabling analysis of various types of ore deposits.

For electronic equipment, the mining and outdoor environments can be harsh, and any malfunction can result in a loss of time and money for users. The Vanta analyzer is a robust and durable device that operates reliably for longer periods and has a low cost of ownership.

Each Vanta handheld XRF analyzer meets IP55 rating standards, offering resistance to rain, dirt, and dust. They have all passed the drop test according to the U.S. Department of Defense standard (MIL-STD-810G), which helps prevent damage to the analyzer and avoid costly repair fees for users.

The Vanta analyzer can withstand temperatures ranging from -10 °C to 50 °C. Therefore, even in hot environments, you won't need to wait long for the analyzer to cool down. **Analyzer models equipped with a silicon drift detector feature a shutter gate to protect the detector, preventing piercing damage. This allows for safe analysis of rough surfaces.**

The M series analyzers meet IP54 rating standards.

** Optional fan included. Can operate continuously at 33°C without the fan.

Highly productive

On-site laboratories typically require several hours to several days to provide results. In some mining areas, sending fewer samples to the lab means significant cost savings.

The Vanta analyzer features a user-friendly interface and allows for customization of useful settings based on specific locations, users, projects, and applications. Geologists can store multiple specific sample and matrix calibration models within the analyzer for the mineral of interest at a given location, optimizing the analyzer's operational performance.

Utilizing integrated GPS, results can be paired with precise GPS coordinates to map and record element locations. By combining XRF data, GPS coordinates, and optional 5-megapixel panoramic camera images, comprehensive archiving and concise reporting can be achieved.

Enhanced Improvement

From the first test to the one hundredth, the Vanta analyzer consistently provides you with equally accurate results.

The proprietary Axon technology in Vanta series analyzers employs ultra-low noise electronic components, enabling higher X-ray counts per second for quick acquisition of accurate and reproducible results.

Axon technology, combined with a new quad-core processor, gives the Vanta analyzer extraordinary responsiveness, shattering performance limits, and delivering more reliable results in a shorter time. Axon technology ensures each test of different Vanta instruments exhibits exceptional high repeatability, so whether you're using any of the instruments, your first and last tests on the same sample will be identical.

Portable XRF analyzers facilitate rapid test results acquisition throughout the mining process.

The Vanta analyzer boasts a robust and reliable body design, ensuring that geologists working in remote areas can have complete confidence in this equipment: the analyzer operates normally under harsh conditions.

The Vanta analyzer can effectively measure element concentrations for the following applications:

• Comprehensive due diligence during property acquisition.
  

• During the initial regional exploration and survey stages, analyze the qualitative chemical composition of rock, debris, soil, and sediment samples.

• During the initial screening phase of regional soil, sediment, and glacial till samples, as well as during trenching, collect quantitative data.

• Identify mineralization trends and anomalies, determine borehole targets, and expand the boundaries of soil sampling.

• Real-time adjust sampling and survey plans for more efficient use of exploration budget funds.

• Pre-screen samples to enhance efficiency in testing, conducted in laboratories outside of the field.

• Increase sampling density in areas with promising development prospects.

• During the drilling phase, samples collected from underground can be analyzed from air cores, RAB (blasting samples), RC (reverse circulation drilling samples), and diamond cores.

Ore grade and process control

The Vanta analyzer helps maintain continuous profitability for open-pit mines, underground mines, and processing plants. With its real-time analysis capabilities, it reduces the need for samples to be sent to the lab, saving costs and enhancing efficiency.

In ore grade and process control, the Vanta handheld XRF analyzer delivers exceptional performance in the following aspects, making it achievable to measure the return on investment.

• Instantly screen open pit blast hole samples, reducing reliance on the mine laboratory.
  

• Combining appropriate sampling methods can enhance control over underground ore grades.

• Analyzing materials from storage heaps aids in the batching and feeding operations of mineral processing plants.

• Conduct real-time analysis of feedstock, sediment, concentrate, and tailings.

• Analyze penalizing elements in refined ores and gold bars.

• Analyze sulfur and other elements to determine flux adjustments in the sample.

• Analyze silicon as a substitute for quartz.

• During SX/EW operations, analyses are conducted on raffinate and various lean and rich mixture streams.

• At copper and precious metal factories, inspect the liquid waste stream as part of the liquid specific gravity measurement process.

Environmental Management and Education

Environmental Monitoring and Remediation

As a typical step in environmental monitoring and remediation processes, the Vanta analyzer can rapidly identify elements of interest in soil, sediments, dust, and tailings from industrial properties in use or closed, as well as nearby sites. The Vanta analyzer, as a fast and reliable sorting tool, offers quantifiable records of environmental monitoring that are easy to archive.
