Gekko collaborated with Evident to enable the Carbon Scout to conduct multi-element analysis of carbon with the initial focus on real-time gold circuit inventory. The Carbon Scout can now incorporate the Vanta™ M series handheld XRF analyzer. Known for its reliability and repeatability even in harsh conditions, the Vanta portable XRF analyzer provides accurate chemistry for more than 30 elements in solids and liquids samples—from trace level to percent level—across the entire mineral cycle.
The graph shows the data from the Carbon Scout integrated with the Vanta XRF analyzer vs. assay lab results.
The Evident Vanta M series analyzer enables the Carbon Scout to provide real-time monitoring of gold loading on carbon in every tank within the mine site. Site managers can use the live data to confirm that the maximum gold load required in each tank is not exceeded and that carbon is moved and stripped as needed. Further, the data gives a clear view of production achievements and whether targets can be met before undertaking the end-of-month gold-in-circuit inventory.
