AIRIE is Your Ticket to In-Depth Re-Os-Hg Analyses from Start to Finish, all from our Colorado facility
Global Sampling

With direct, involved collaborations from over 50 countries and Re-Os analysis of samples from over 100 countries spanning every continent, let AIRIE create and implement a sampling strategy to get the most geologically meaningful and cost-effective Re-Os-Hg dataset possible.

Re-Os-Hg Geochemical Analyses

AIRIE can analyze sulfide, oxide, black shale, hydrocarbons, and silicates for Re-Os geochronology.  AIRIE's in-house direct mercury analyzer (DMA) supplements Re-Os data and extends to other sample types including soil, water, vegetation, food, industrial waste, and human tissue.

Data Analysis

Geochemical data are mere numbers unless integrated with macro- to micro-scale geological observations.  Tap into our expertise and let AIRIE interpret and integrate produced Re-Os-Hg data with supplementary geochemical data and geological relationships.

“Thanks very much for this, and as always you have nailed it perfectly. We can now correlate two mineralized skarns surrounding the intrusion.”

“Dr. Holly Stein and Dr. Judy Hannah hired me to work in the AIRIE geochronology lab on campus and became my advisors for my thesis. They are extremely kind-hearted and amazing advisors and spent time with me to answer all my questions and help me with my undergraduate thesis.”

This is why we decided as a team of explorationists to send this sample to you to get a second opinion on it, and we believe that your age is more accurate than what we had previously. Thank you for the technical quality of your work and your geologic observations and understanding. As an exploration team we hope to continue working with AIRIE since your results and reports have considerably improved our understanding of the hydrothermal systems where we are currently working, hoping that this will guide us towards a new discovery.

The result is amazingly coincident with the U-Pb date I obtained from the intrusive that is supposed to be associated with the alteration/mineralization in the area, so I guess the client will be more than happy. It’s the first time for me to see such a coincident age between U-Pb and Re-Os data (I’ve seen some discrepancies in other projects).
