Best grade correlator, and some silver and some gold companies use it is "long" range X-Ray fluroescence. It is a sensitive detector and you can get used to it by the stope/ore type and it is not dangerous. Units used underground were about $50K. This is cheap for a quick and dirty "channeler" That might save a stope or two from closing or can scan core quickly for kicks. Could be used on ground samples too for quick recon. Cominco used it from helicopters for reconnaissance and it worked well. I have a suspicion it had something to do with Windy Craggy years ago. Numbers that really correlate have to be produced from some kind of assay of the material finally. If you have a handle on the geology then you can use quicky indicators to do the prelims. But grade mixing has to have hard numbers. -----------------------------
