SGS, a leading certification, inspection and testing service provider for the global metals and mining industry, says it will announce the launch of a new real-time field data acquisition solution at the upcoming PDAC 2019 convention in Toronto, Canada.

The solution pairs portable instrumentation and machine learning to significantly speed up turnaround time for field data, enabling clients with enhanced decision-making capabilities and quicker speed-to-market, SGS said.

The solution, being launched in North America and Australia, will be on show at a demonstration at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on March 5 in a demonstration involving Peta Hughes, Project Manager, Global Geochemistry, SGS Canada, and Matthew Rees, Chief Geologist, IAMGold.
