PENTATEX GROUP: Mining Services
PENTATEX GROUP has managed to develop a scientific methodology to streamline mining exploration processes. We have participated in several projects in South America where our clients have achieved satisfactory results with significant savings in time and financial resources.
Geophysical Data Analysis for Mining is based on mathematical and physical principles that define the main characteristics of minerals in the subsoil.
Our technology includes Conventional Mining and Lithium.
We have more than 30 years of experience.

From the processing and inversion of gravimetric data, a three-dimensional density model was generated, where areas in blue are shown identifying densities between 0.5 and 0.6 g/cm3, correlated with the presence of metallic or lithium minerals.
Magnetic Methods

Magnetotelluric Methods
From the processing and inversion of magnetic data we can generate a three-dimensional model of magnetic susceptibility (SI), where we are able to show with magnetic susceptibilities (SI) that determine the presence of minerals.

Passive Seismic
Transient Time Domain Electromagnetic Methods (TDEM)
Transient Time Domain Electromagnetic Methods (TDEM)
From natural seismic activity to delimit active faults, permeable zones or locate transition zones, indicating the contrast of velocities associated with lithium deposits.
This can be combined with the model obtained with gravimetry to generate a profile in which both the shear wave velocity and density can be characterized.
In addition to being able to combine the results with those obtained with the HVSR Method (Nakamura) to perform an integrated seismic analysis.

TEXAS
We specialize in building custom homes and renovations that fit your unique style and needs. From design to construction
TEXAS is an online X-ray fluorescence device for the elemental analysis of bulk materials without sampling.
It can be mounted above main conveyor belts or at other feeding devices and analyzes continuously the elemental composition (Z>12) of the material.
The device is used as a tool for process control. It offers immediate information (24/7) about the process without time consuming sampling and analysis in the laboratory. However, it does not replace the laboratory but serves as a process tool for feed forward or feed back control.
The device is equipped with a rugged X-ray tube and a energy dispersive detector in a stainless steel box. The information acquired with the sensor is processed with the software suite MONACO by an industrial PC which can be linked to the control system by standard interfaces.

Free falling coarse material or powder can be monitored in chutes. TEXAS will be mounted at a side wall where a window is inserted into the chute. The measurement is done continuously as long as material is inside of the chute. If the chute is empty, then the measurement will be suspended. TEXAS at airslide
Fine material is often conveyed using an airslide. The system is completely closed; material cannot be accessed easily. However, using a small window at the bottom of the airslide allows TEXAS to monitor the material which moves along.
This setup is ideally suited for base metal matte.
FLORIDA
Fluids Online Recognition Identification and Determination Analyzer
The FLORIDA device adapts the well-known X-ray fluorescence for online process control and pollution monitoring. The ability of the device to continuously analyze the elemental composition of a fluid stream allows the use in various applications in the mining industry and the preparation plants, as well as for environmental monitoring.
FLORIDA 400 is designed for the use in industrial and preparation plants, for example for the monitoring of flotation circuits, while FLORIDA WT is designed to monitor the effluent water of industrial plants as well as the general water quality monitoring for heavy metals and toxic elements.
FLORIDA 400 is an online X-ray fluorescence device for the elemental analysis of slurries or suspensions without sampling. It can be mounted directly on pipes and analyzes continuously the elemental composition (Z>20) of the material. In many cases the measurement can be performed through PE or PP pipes. However, different window solutions are available if the measurement has tobe performed on steel pipes.
The device is used as a tool for process control. It offers immediate information (24/7) about the process without time consuming sampling and analysis in the laboratory. However, it does not replace the laboratory but serves as a process tool for feed forward or feedback control.
IBERIA
Inline Borehole Element Recognition

Inline Borehole Element Recognition
The reconnaissance of deposits is done by extensive exploration drilling. The borehole debris is collected for later analysis in the laboratory. This is a time-consuming and expensive procedure. Furthermore, the derived samples represent an average of a remarkable drilling distance so that information about small shifts will be lost.
The borehole probes developed by JCB are based on X-ray fluorescence and offer the logging of the borehole immediately after drilling. The results are therefore available in time and can be transferred automatically into a deposit map. This enables an active control of the deposit reconnaissance, using the BOSTON software.

There are many different applications with a variety of requirements for IBERIA. Therefore, several different versions of IBERIA were developed to meet these demands. All diameters of IBERIA are also available as REE version which uses a special X-ray tube to excite rare earth elements.
All IBERIA downhole probes can be operated from standard 4-wire winches. Together with our custom operator unit it can be quickly deployed and integrated into different winches and on-site setups.
