Brief description An X-ray fluorescence analysis system to replace an existing 16 year old instrument. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is a basic analytical tool for the accurate and precise determination of the chemical composition of rock samples. Access to this technology is essential for the successful operation of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Ore Deposits. The Centre undertakes cutting-edge research on the geology, genesis, discovery and recovery of new mineral resources and equipping the Australian minerals industry with world-class graduates. These activities are within National Research Priorities ((An Environmentally Sustainable Australia - Discovering Deep Earth Resources) and at the core of Australian national interests.

Funding Amount $245,000
