PA1408X
The PA1408X is Chrysos’ flagship product. Designed for high-throughput analysis of gold and a wide range of other elements, it is ideally suited for replacing fire assay in large-scale analysis laboratory applications.
Fully automated and non-destructive assay of large 0.5 kg samples takes only a few minutes. With sensitivity down to 0.03 parts-per-million for gold, the PA1408X is suitable for most resource definition, mine planning, grade-control and process monitoring scenarios.
The first system will be installed in Perth in early 2018 and can be visited by appointment. Additional units will be available for delivery from late 2018 onward.
