SGS Acquires Wamtech Pty. Ltd., Developers of MMI Technology

摘要

SGS is pleased to announce that with the acquisition of Wamtech Pty. Ltd., SGS is now the sole global provider of the Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geochemistry technology. One of the most exciting technologies in the exploration sector, MMI geochemistry is an advanced exploration technique for detecting deeply buried mineral deposits. It enables companies to significantly reduce exploration costs by precisely delineating anomalies and defining better targets for drill programs. MMI anomalies have better spatial and amplitude resolution than those observed using conventional geochemistry and therefore provide a more precise location of primary mineralization. MMI responses are not displaced, and do not form 'negative anomalies'. MMI geochemistry is being successfully used to locate gold, base metal and nickel mineralization and kimberlites around the world.
