CODES – Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences
Program 5
ANALYTICAL RESEARCH
OBJECTIVE
This Program underpins much of our most innovative research across the fundamental to applied spectrum. New developments in analytical research generated by CODES Analytical Laboratories provide the basis for CODES’ global leadership in microanalytical techniques specifically applied to mineral exploration, mineral processing, ore genesis and waste management. It will also provide analytical services to government, academia and industry.
