Nutrien names insider Mark Thompson as CFO amid mixed results
Thompson, who has been with Nutrien for 13 years and currently serves as chief commercial officer, will assume his new role on August 26.
PANalytical Boulder (formerly ASD Inc.) introduce the TerraSpec Halo Handheld Mineral Identifier, exclusively available in Australia from PAS. This instrument is the lightest and fastest NIR instrument available for the Exploration Geology market – an all-in-one Handheld full range NIR device.
The handheld TerraSpec Halo is the latest introduction to the well-known and trusted TerraSpec line of mining instrumentation from PANalytical. With one pull of a trigger, this revolutionary instrument not only delivers mineralogy results in seconds, but generates rapid results which significantly speed exploration efforts, increase efficiencies, improve analysis and decision making, and ultimately save mine operators valuable time and money.
In announcing the new product release, PAS Managing Director, Paul Martin commented “We are confident that this new addition will complement our current TerraSpec range nicely, as it will offer all the benefits of earlier TerraSpec models but in a more compact, lighter and ergonomic instrument which will be an advantage for specific applications.”
The rugged mineral identifier produces on-instrument results for the field or mine geologist using a non-destructive contact measurement, and together with easy-to-use settings for non-geologists, the TerraSpec Halo provides mineralogy information direct to field or drilling programs for quick confirmation sampling at the mine.
As a full-range NIR spectrometer, the TerraSpec Halo measures the visible and short wave infrared regions (350-2500nm) and includes in-built GPS, audio recorder and internal references to allow for easy operation and data management. It also features proprietary, state-of-the-art mineral identification software for fast data capture in the field and easy data management back in the lab or core shed, as well as an extensive reference library which can be customised for your deposit or deposit type to further improve measurement accuracy and speed.
