Ni in Garnet Geothermometry

Diamond exploration relies heavily on the reliable geochemical data that provides immediate insight into your target’s diamond potential. Evaluation of trace elements in indicator minerals by Laser Ablation ICP-MS will expand your exploration potential.
SGS Minerals Services provides expert data interpretation to enhance your geochemical program.

FROM PROSPECT TO PROJECT…
Early identification of potential targets is key to kimberlite exploration. LA-ICP-MS provides detailed quantitative analyses with high spatial resolution.
Application of data using Ni-in-garnet geothermometry on indicator minerals pinpoints the “diamond window” - before drilling begins.
Ongoing analyses provide detailed information on the diamond potential of your target and the surrounding region, allowing creation of region-specific exploration programs.

RESULTS YOU CAN USE
Evaluation of trace and rare-earth elements in kimberlite indicator minerals enhances target evaluation by providing insight into mantle conditions that could foster diamond potential.
Quality analytical techniques and expert data interpretation at SGS Minerals Services are important tools you need to make your diamond prospect a project.
