Indicator mineral analysis has long been a key tool in supporting exploration decision-making, but these changing pressures highlight the need for not just faster analysis, but a different way of working with mineralogical data. Within the broader exploration toolkit, indicator mineral analysis complements methods such as geological mapping, geophysical surveys, drilling and core logging, and bulk geochemical analysis.

Radioactivity in mining is commonly associated with uranium but there are numerous other sources of it that can be found in the mining industry. While radioactivity is a natural phenomenon that needs to be managed, there are also cases where it can be used as a tool in driving exploration forward. It’s important then to understand what radioactivity is, how it’s encountered and the risks and benefits associated with it.
