Wamtech Pty. Ltd (MMI™ Technology)

Mobile Metal Ion (MMI™) geochemistry is an advanced surface exploration technique for finding mineral deposits. Mining companies world wide are now using MMI™ to find all commodities, including gold, base metal and nickel mineralization and kimberlite intrusives. MMI™ is a powerful geochemical exploration tool that is enabling companies to explore areas that have previously been unsuccessful for surface geochemistry. MMI™ is a must for companies searching for the next generation of bigger, often concealed ore deposits. Please review our extensive collection of case studies and technical bulletins.

A brief highlight of the MMI process consists of:

  • A simple sample collection procedure in which approximately 200 to 250 grams of sample is collected at a continuous interval of 10 to 25 cm below the living organics layer regardless of which horizon this depth corresponds to.

  • Samples are not otherwise prepared or dried.

  • A weak extraction using a multi-component solution to release the mobile ions.

  • A high sensitivity ICP-MS analysis which provides part per billion range results
