We’re excited to connect with professionals operating in the Iberian Pyrite Belt!
Recently, Simon Griffiths of Third Planet Exploration Services (3PXS) delivered a technical presentation in Spanish to the Aminer group (an influential platform supporting the advancement of mining and mineral exploration in Spain).
Simon showcased how integrated geochemical and geo-metallurgical modelling can significantly enhance exploration targeting and project evaluation. His talk included:
- A case study on using redox-sensitive trace elements to interpret marine sediment facies, improving logging and revealing lithological controls on mineralisation.
- Insights into pyrite chemistry and sulphide species; distinguishing hydrothermal from diagenetic pyrite and understanding sulphur deportment into minerals such as sulfosalts — critical factors in mine processing and production.
If you’re working in the IPB, Simon will be available for in-person consultations in the coming months. We’d be delighted to demonstrate how 3PXS can help unlock the full potential of your project.
Get in touch to arrange a meeting or learn more about our services.
Third Planet can also assist with planning sampling strategies and prep/analytical/ QC workflows upon request. If you’d like any more information on any of our services, or assistance with enhancing the impact of your geochemical data, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
