INNOV X AFRICA SIGNED AS GEOTEK’S EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR OF SUB-SAHARAN-AFRICA

Innov X Africa • October 13, 2020

Innov X Africa will be exclusively distributing Geotek’s state of the art BoxScan & multi-sensor core logger platform range and our innovative X-ray CT equipment in this thriving region. Innov X Africa will be working closely with Geotek’s experienced mining consultants, and Phoenix Mining Technologies, providing the South African resource industries with the latest in cutting edge core scanning equipment.


Multi-sensor core scanning is now considered a crucial part in every stage of a mining evaluation chain, therefore the value in having this type of high-resolution technology present in Africa’s growing industrial economies, is a key step to ensuring accurate mineral assaying techniques and subsequent determination of potential resources.


Innov X Africa have a well established presence in the geoscience markets, particularly in the Gold and Copper Belt regions, as they are also the exclusive distributor of Olympus XRF and XRD technology in Sub-Saharan Africa, and have provided equipment to many major mining companies. The integration of the Olympus Vanta XRF onto Geotek’s platforms has proved to be a valuable parameter in the deduction of core composition and lithology type, extremely useful for mineral exploration.

Phoenix Mining Technologies have played an instrumental part in this collaboration, providing valuable experience in elemental analysis in the African mining market. Through this new partnership Geotek are looking to expand the presence of our equipment in this region.


If you have an enquiry about our systems and services required in the in Sub-Saharan Africa region, please get in touch with Stuart Bateman stuart@innovxafrica.co.za or  info@phoenixmining.tech
