On demand webinar: Critical Mineral Expert Series 1 & 2

The Critical Mineral Expert Series is your go-to technical webinar series designed for mining professionals, exploration geologists, and process engineers working at the forefront of the energy transition. Across several bite-sized episodes, we’ll unpack the complexities of critical mineral mining. Each session features expert discussion, live demos, and actionable strategies for real-world mining challenges.

1: Episode 1 Advanced Application of XRF and XRD in Mining Quality Control.

As demand for critical minerals like lithium, rare-earth elements, and graphite surges, mining operations face a new reality: ore bodies are getting more complex, more remote, and often lower in grade. That makes high-quality, real-time data more important than ever.

In this kick-off episode, our geologist and application specialist explain how combining X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) gives you a complete picture of your ore, both its elemental makeup and mineral structure. You’ll learn how these complementary techniques can enhance your QC process, reduce costly errors, and drive better decisions from pit to plant.

Whether you're improving processing efficiency or navigating exploration uncertainty, this session delivers the technical clarity and strategic edge you need.

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.
