Joint funding from the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan is enabling the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) to purchase new equipment for its Advanced Microanalysis Centre TM thereby offering Saskatchewan mining companies and other industry sectors access to a full range of analytical services and data interpretation.
The new equipment will help small-and medium-sized businesses accelerate exploration and mine development by providing equipment to test and analyze a wider range of mineral samples, providing resource companies one-stop access to new technologies, analytical services and expert data interpretation.
The analytical capacity of the Centre will be enhanced by the additional equipment including a high-resolution mass spectrometer, two x-ray fluorescence spectrometers and one x-ray diffractometer.
The federal and provincial governments are providing $705,000 each through the Canada-Saskatchewan Western Economic Partnership Agreement (WEPA); the Saskatchewan Research Council is providing the remaining $500,000 towards the $1.9 million project.
