Key Points

  • Investigate the application of XCT scanning to analyze minerals in LCT-type granitic pegmatites.
  • Utilized 3D XCT scanning for pegmatite core analysis
  • Applied attenuation segmentation for quantifying spodumene and petalite
  • Compared XCT-derived lithium estimates to bulk ICP-MS assay results
  • XCT scanning effectively quantifies spodumene and petalite volumes in drill cores
  • Li2 O estimates from XCT show a strong correlation with bulk ICP-MS assays (R2 = 0.75)

Abstract

• Integrated 3D XCT scanning enables rapid LCT pegmatite analysis. • Attenuation segmentation quantifies spodumene and petalite volumes in cores. • XCT-derived Li2 O estimates correlate with bulk ICP-MS assays (R2 = 0.75).
