Lawrence, MA – September 13, 2013 – SPECTRAL EVOLUTION introduces the next generation of spectrometers for mining exploration and production: the oreXpress™ field, portable spectrometer.

Like all SPECTRAL EVOLUTION field spectrometers, the oreXpress spectrometer is purpose-built for efficient single user operation in the field – lightweight, compact, easy-to-use, and ultra-reliable. As a full range UV/VIS/NIR/SWIR spectrometer, it delivers the high performance required to identify minerals for gold, silver, iron, copper, diamonds, aluminum, uranium and more. The affordable oreXpress offers a range of benefits, including:

  • Rapid data/spectra collection in the field
  • High signal to noise ratio for improved reflectance values
  • Fast start-up and use with no optimization step required between scans
  • Sturdy construction to handle field conditions, including high ambient temperatures
  • Reliability with no moving optics and a robust MIL-spec fiber optic cable connector with easy-disconnect fiber
  • A rugged and reliable mineral contact probe for single click field measurements, use in core logging shacks, and with chip trays

The oreXpress spectrometer is available with SPECTRAL EVOLUTION’s EZ-ID software that provides:

  • An easy way to create a custom mineral library
  • The ability to quickly add spectra to an existing library
  • Pattern matching algorithms in interactive mode that can be used with the SpecMIN, USGS, and other libraries
  • Display of your match report on-screen

Equipped with the oreXpress spectrometer, geologists, field technicians, and exploration managers can:

  • Collect a soil grid and establish a baseline
  • Map alteration zones
  • Vector to mineralization
  • Open pit mapping
  • Analyze outcrops, hand samples, RC chips, and blast holes
  • Analyze drill core quickly and efficiently
  • Perform ground truthing for remote sensing images and data

In addition to in-the-field tasks, data collected with the oreXpress spectrometer is saved as ASCII files for use with third party analysis software, without requiring time-consuming pre-processing.

The oreXpress spectrometer with companion Getac PS336 handheld microcomputer features:

  • 350-2500nm spectral range
  • Auto dark shutter and autoexposure for easy, one-touch scanning
  • No optimization required to start scanning – get to work as soon as you hit the field
  • Thanks to the Getac PS336, easily tag spectra with images from the auto-focus digital camera, e-compass, altimeter, GPS data, and voice notes.
  • Getac sunlight readable VGA display
  • Mineral contact probe with metal-clad fiber optic cable
  • Lightweight LI-ion batteries for power in the field
  • Accessories include core shack fold-up field cart and benchtop reflectance probe
