"Drill core from LYRD001 &002 are currently undergoing HyLogger spectral scanning by DMIRSto provide information on mineralisation. Results are pending."

The HyLogger spectral scanner is a rapid spectroscopic logging and imaging system that uses continuous visible and infrared spectroscopy and digital imaging to examine cores, samples, and cuttings without destroying them in the process.GSWA’s HyLogger-3 system is an integrated suite of spectroscopic, imaging, lighting, and materials handling toolsHyLogging is a highly automated technology designed by CSIRO to determine drillcore mineralogy using rapid reflectance spectroscopy at 400–2500 and 6000 – 14 500 nm wavelength regions. The HyLogger-3 system is capable of detecting common rock-forming minerals (feldspar, quartz, pyroxene, garnet, olivine, carbonate, and phosphate), as well as iron oxides and a number of hydroxyl-bearing minerals (micas, chlorites, amphiboles, clays, and sulfates). The Geological Survey of Western Australia’s (GSWA) HyLogger was installed in July 2009 at the Perth Core Library in Carlisle. It is one of seven machines in Australia that together make up the AuScope National Virtual Core Library (NVCL) consortium. The consortium is a Federal and State collaborative project that aims to provide drillcore mineralogical and image data in a standard format. The data collected from core scanning, coupled with the simultaneous acquisition of high-resolution digital photographs of scanned core, can provide new insights into host rock and alteration mineralogy, vectors to mineralization, objective determination of lithostratigraphic units and their boundaries, and refined inputs to resource block modeling and metallurgical characteristics
