The MMI Process®

In order to successfully measure these ions, an integrated package has been developed called the MMI Process®. Using specially designed chemical extraction techniques the mobile ions attached to soil particles are released into solutions. These solutions are then analyzed by extremely sensitive detection instruments (ICP-MS) for their mobile metal ion content.

The MMI Process® analyzes for commodity elements, which are found in ore-bodies. These are

Digest A (Base Metals):

Digest B (Precious Metals):

Digest H (Hydrocarbons): MMI™ Technology (MMI™-H) for hydrocarbons is licensed to Digger Resources, and unauthorised use of it for any purpose is not permitted.

Digest L (Precious Metals in Super Absorbent or Hyper Saline Environments):

Digest M (Multi Element Leach): >40 Elements, Including All of the Above Elements + Rare Earth Elements

MMI analyses are exclusively available from SGS. Small sample requirements have enabled companies to successfully use MMI™ worldwide and in remote locations.
