SGS Technology - MMI® Soil Geochemistry
SGS has a soil geochemistry technology to help you reduce your exploration costs.
MMI has a proven track record in a number of regolith and geological settings throughout Africa.
MMI soil geochemistry is based on a weak extraction of the soils to target the unbound ions only.
By extracting the unbound ions only we access the very recently arrived ions at surface and not those that may have been transported away from the source.
17
Metal ions are mobile and migrate to surface Mineralization
As the ore body oxidizes metals are mobilized eg CuS reduces to Cu++ in the presence of oxygen

Lefa Gold Project, Guinea 3 discoveries in 2001
(Folokadi, Banko, Pharmacie)
Lateritic Regolith overlying 70M saprolite and clays
Au in meta sedimentary rocks
Using MMI eliminated RAB stage of exploration followed by drill testing the MMI anomalies
