Niton® analyzers also lead the way in performing analysis of soils and sediments, environmental monitoring, geochemical mapping, art, archaeometry and forensic analysis, and lead in paint assessment. Providing an analytical range from magnesium (12) through the transuranic elements, the NITON XL3 Series XRF analyzer features better detection limits, shorter measurement times, increased productivity, higher profit and lower long-term cost of ownership for our many thousands of customers around the world. Over the past two decades, Thermo Scientific, Niton® analyzers has spearheaded the incorporation of advanced miniature analog and digital technology, taking the analytical capabilities of yesterday's laboratory instruments and putting those capabilities in our users' hands.  Today’s NITON® analyzers offer better performance, greater versatility and lower operating costs than our instruments only a few years old. Today's advanced Niton® analyzers can identify and determine the elemental composition of many samples in seconds. Handheld Niton® instruments provide our users with real-time, on-site results, eliminating sample analysis turn-around time, with instruments that provide performance and features comparable or even superior to those of larger, more expensive bench-top systems. It’s no coincidence that many of our users tell us that their Niton® XRF analyzers have been a key component of their business success. Thermo Scientific, NITON®  analyzers represent the state-of-the-art in elemental analysis for geochemical applications, allowing the user to perform rapid, on-the-spot screening for qualitative elemental identification with the simple pull of a trigger. Niton® XL3 analyzers provide users with real-time elemental sample analysis directly at the mine face, from bagged samples during survey or drilling operations, or from prepared samples. With the ability to easily set up multiple programs based on sample composition, Niton® XL3 analyzers measure ores, soils, sediments and cores, concentrates, heads and tailings, coatings, and filter media, allowing for quick and easy delineation of ore boundaries, process adjustments and much more. In-situ samples are analyzed by placing the analyzer directly on the soil surface, drill cutting or rock face to provide screening results in seconds, while simple sample preparation will yield analytical results in agreement with traditional laboratory methods. Niton® XL3 analyzers offer integrated Bluetooth™ GPS readings for rapid mine mapping or for identifying areas of interest during exploration activities. The NITON XL3 shielded, folding test stand instantly converts the instrument into a bench-top analyzer for measuring drill cores and bagged or cupped samples, while the telescoping Extend-a-PoleTM improves ergonomics to minimize fatigue during in-situ screening, when operators often measure many hundreds of samples per day.

Mantle Diamonds Limited is a private global diamond resource company (registered in England & Wales) with projects at varying levels of exploration and development in the Canada, Finland, DRC, Liberia and Mali. Established by Lester Kemp and Rupert Baring in September 2005, the company is currently held by a variety of institutions and private investors. Originally founded on grass roots exploration projects, the company is now focused on developing a strong cash flow business model and has as such acquired near term production assets that will enhance shareholder value.  The company has strong links with Global Diamond Tenders (GDT) in Dubai where all the company's future rough diamond production will be sold.Why Mantle Diamonds Limited? Our planet has a fairly complex layered structure with a relatively thin crust overlying what is known as the mantle. It is here in the mantle that diamonds are formed, under intense pressure and temperature. As diamonds originate in the mantle, it was fitting that the company was named Mantle Diamonds Limited.The current global credit crisis has created exceptional buying opportunities with publicly listed diamond companies trading at a substantial discount to their asset values. The company plans to use its access to capital to fund one or more acquisitions in the near future.The company is also looking for strategic investment partners (family funds / sovereign wealth funds) to help fund the company's growth by industry consolidation.
