EXPLORATION | GPR INVESTIGATION
Exploration. In the mining resource sector, we offer exploration and geophysical prospecting services applied to metallic and non-metallic deposits, performing a detailed mapping of the deposit for its quantification. We can: • Identify vein directions and estimate the dimensions without limitations by the type of host rock.
Chromite Sand Testing
Typical foundry grade chromite sands will show a weight gain of 0.5 to 1.0 in a standard LOI test. • To avoid oxidation reactions, chromite sands can be heated under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen. Under these conditions a high quality foundry chromite sand will experience a minimal weight loss of 0 to 0.2%

Formation of podiform chromitite deposits: implications from …
As the modal chromite content of these rocks is about 85%, this means that the matrix must have been highly enriched in PGE relative to the chromite. For example, if the whole rock chondrite-normalized Pd content before alteration was 0.1, and after alteration was 0.01, and we assume that all of the remaining Pd is in the chromite, then …
