Minerals West Africa expands its services to include portable XRF technology

The Intertek West Africa Laboratory located Côte d'Ivoire has expanded its capabilities to include an Olympus M series Vanta™ handheld portable XRF. Obtaining maximum geochemical information about an exploration project is a primary focus for geologists. Intertek is able to provide a cost-effective solution using Portable XRF technology under laboratory conditions or at our client’s site.
