Скачать или смотреть If It Ain’t Broke: Rethinking Sampling & Analysis with PhotonAssay™

What if your assay method is holding you back - without you knowing?

In this forward-thinking conversation, Dr Simon Dominy, Dr Naomi Potter, and Dr James Tickner explore why many mining operations stick with the status quo, even when data quality, reconciliation, and recovery could dramatically improve using PhotonAssay™.

This episode challenges the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset in gold assay practices - and explores how industry leaders are reassessing traditional sampling protocols in light of new opportunities.
