05.02.2021 | Webinar: Mercury measurements of near-surface air above ore deposits and faults

February, 2020 – Vancouver, Canada. Lumex Instruments invites you to the free webinar to know how our mercury analyzer RA-915M can be used for a geochemical exploration in a real-time.

Mercury vapor surveys have been most useful in exploration, geological mapping, and earthquake prediction because Hg occurs in most types of endogenic ore deposits and is highly mobile. Although soil gas sampling is more commonly used than near-surface air sampling, it is not suitable for every type of surface and takes more time and effort.

In contrast, simple real-time air sampling can be applied to different types of sediment-covered and exposed mineralized zones and faults and does not require strict sampling conditions.

In this webinar, our guest speaker from the British Columbia Geological Survey will talk about methods and results of the study based on the Hg measurements in air 1-50 cm above ground at 15 sites on Vancouver Island using mercury analyzer RA-915M.

You will know the advantages of this simple and rapid technique and how exactly it can be used in mineral exploration and geological mapping.
