The global shift towards cleaner energy is fueling a rising demand for critical mineral resources like lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements (REEs). These essential elements power the batteries, electronics, and infrastructure driving the clean energy transition. However, discovering, extracting, and refining these resources bring unique technical and environmental challenges that can be addressed by using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. At XRF Scientific, we’re committed to equipping exploration teams with reliable, efficient, and precise analysis tools essential for success in this complex landscape.

Here’s why XRF analysis is a valuable asset for critical minerals exploration.

As the world looks to make the change between fossil fuels towards the use of cleaner energy sources, a demand has emerged, one that is increasing, for specific minerals, including copper, rare earth elements (REEs), cobalt, lithium, and nickel. The success of the critical minerals energy transition will depend upon technologies that ensure these minerals are uncovered, extracted, handled, and recycled both sustainably and efficiently. Geochemical analysis tools can be used to realize the critical minerals energy transition, possessing the capabilities to find, recognize, and evaluate the minerals. Let’s take a look at these technologies and learn about their role in the critical minerals energy transition.
