Jeff Williams, Exum Instruments' CEO & CTO, shares his outlook on what a mining lab could look like in five to 10 years in a new interview with AZoMining.
On-site analysis is already the foundation, with Massbox deployable in trailers, shipping containers and vans. The bigger shift Jeff expects is integration: automated "lights-out" laboratories combining SEM, Massbox, and hyperspectral imaging, with machine learning and AI increasingly able to interpret the combined datasets and automate decisions.
What’s driving this is a change in what the industry is trying to know. Mining is moving toward understanding the full value of a deposit rather than targeting a single element. Jeff believes that richer, more integrated analytical workflows will be central to that shift.
