Frequently Asked Questions

What are samplers?
Samplers are devices used to collect samples of ore, minerals, or other materials for analysis. Mineral sampling is a vital process in mining because it allows the sampler to assess the composition, quality, and quantity of the material being mined. The data collected from mineral sampling helps determine decisions about exploration, production, and processing. Sampling results also serves to assure stakeholders of diligent reporting on reserve, resource and planned revenue as well as efficiency of mineral processing by the invested mine. Defending contractual product specification requirements are not possible without metal accounting standard samplers that complies to the Theory of Sampling (ToS).
What is sampling in mines?
In mining applications, sampling is the processing of collecting a small portion of material (ore and minerals) from a larger body to analyse its composition, quality, or quantity. This process is essential in mining applications as it assists mining plants in determining the value, feasibility and efficiency of mining a particular ore deposit.
Can mineral sampling solutions be customised?
Yes, sampling solutions can be customised to suit specific applications and commodities. At Multotec, we understand that different types of ores and mining environments have unique characteristics that require tailored approaches for accurate sampling. We offer an extensive range of customisable mineral sampling solutions, helping your plant achieve precise and unbiased mineral samples for all minerals and commodities that you can count on.
Multotec has installed over 700 sampling systems in the last 20 years in international mining markets.
