Innovative Applications of portable X-ray diffraction (pXRD) and X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) for base metals and gold exploration
The webinar will focus on interesting and innovative applications of pXRF and pXRD beyond the traditional, that new and existing users of these technologies may not be familiar with.

n this webinar Professor David Cohen (President of the Academic Board of University of New South Wales and President of Australian Geoscience Council) will present examples of pXRF and pXRD used in various gold and base metal exploration projects. Professor Cohen has been working with both XRF and XRD technologies in conjunction with exploration companies for many years. He has extensive experience in exploration geochemistry, biogeochemistry, regional geochemical mapping, metal extractions and data processing. The webinar will focus on interesting and innovative applications of pXRF and pXRD beyond the traditional, that new and existing users of these technologies may not be familiar with. The webinar will be hosted by Olympus’ Director of International Mining, Todd Houlahan, who has been working with pXRF technology across the globe for the last 20 years.
