To allow a truly in-situ elemental analysis, an Australian resource company commissioned the development and building of a down-the-hole deployable ED-XRF sensor. The instrument was designed to be deployable up to a depth of 30 m for drill holes of varying diameters as well as being run in a bench-top mode. Following the development and upon commissioning, the ED-XRF system was investigated in the laboratory for its suitability for use in the Iron Ore industry by using well characterised crushed iron ore samples, ...
