Critical Minerals Expert Series 2: Why Mineral Phases Matter
August 28, 2025 | 11:00 - 11:30 CEST | Virtual
About The Event
The Critical Mineral Expert Series continues with a deeper dive into the tools and techniques that help mining professionals navigate increasingly complex ore bodies. Designed for geologists, process engineers, and quality control teams, this series delivers expert-led conversations, real-world demos, and practical guidance for improving analytical workflows in critical mineral extraction.
Episode 2: Why Mineral Phases Matter – Practical Insights from XRD
In mining, knowing what elements are present is just the beginning. To make smart processing decisions, you also need to know how those elements are structured. That’s where mineral phase identification becomes critical.
In this second episode, we shift the focus from elemental data to mineralogy. Our experts will show how X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals the mineral phases behind the chemistry, enabling better control of processes like leaching, flotation, and refining. You’ll see how relying on elemental data alone can lead to costly errors and how easy it can be to integrate XRD into your existing quality control workflow.
Register now to get access to our exclusive Mineral Measurement Matrix (available to download during the webinar) and learn how to bring structure-level clarity into your mining decisions.
