The Middle East and North Africa are still unknown entities to many mining companies & investors.
However much of the region has a long history of mining, good infrastructure, favorable geography, many active producers and huge potential.

· An estimated $3 trillion of untapped mineral deposits exist in Afghanistan
· 100 companies are licensed to search & produce gold in Saudi Arabia
· Morocco is the world’s 3rd largest phosphate producer
· Algeria has 32 operating mines
· Egypt’s coal resources are estimated at 50 Mt
· 20 exploration & mining companies operate in Eritrea

This digestible infographic will guide you through the opportunity presented by countries across the Middle East and North Africa:  The best minerals and metals, metrics, key players operating in the region, and more

Eurocontrol Launches State of the Art Mobile Geological Data Analysis Solution for the Mining Industry
 

Toronto, CANADA, May 08, 2013 - Eurocontrol Technics Group Inc. (TSX Venture: EUO) ("Eurocontrol" or the "Company"), a Canadian public company specializing in the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative authentication, verification, certification and energy security technologies, is pleased to announce the introduction of Geological Mapping Solution (GMS), a technology that has been developed by Xenemetrix Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eurocontrol, to work with Xenemetrix's Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) mobile spectrometer technology.  The ED-XRF system provides an onsite laboratory level solution to rapidly analyze almost all sample types and shapes (solids, liquids, powders and thin films) and the GMS technology utilizing ED-XRF enables location based geological data to be transferred immediately to the user's server for reporting and monitoring significantly improving the user's ability to analyze data in real time from exploration locations.

Geological Mapping Solution (GMS): Xenemetrix Geological Mapping Solution (GMS) includes compact size 50W tube power mobile analyzers that can easily be transported between sites or robust lab systems that are ideal to install in a mobile laboratory. The advanced software package is equipped with GPRS/WiFi/Satellite Data Transfer and GPS and is easily operated by non-skilled personnel. This "client-server" configuration delivers analytical flexibility and availability for research and monitoring tasks of multiple systems anywhere in the world, enables fast monitoring of field results provided with unique location tag, time stamp and quantification results per element of interest of each sample been measured. Through the GMS server system, setup and calibrations can be fine-tuned and the data collected can be sent to an advanced report repository to provide a state-of-the-art data analysis and monitoring on a daily basis. Xenemetrix's powerful laboratory spectrometers (EX-6600 SDD/X-7600 SDD-LE), equipped with Advanced Standard-less Fundamental Parameters (SLFP) Software (a complete XRF analysis tool, enabling quantitative analysis of various samples without need of certified reference materials- standards) enables a comprehensive analysis of the laboratory data transferred, providing the ultimate full solution of analyzing data in real time from multiple exploration locations.


The target market for Xenemetrix's Geological Mapping Solution, are geological survey companies, geological and mineral exploration companies amongst others. Materials recovered by geological survey and exploration from the earth includes: base metals, precious metals, iron, uranium, limestone, rock salt and potash. Xenemetrix's advanced spectrometers allow an on-site direct analysis of exploration minerals or other geological materials thereby reducing turnaround times for results from days, weeks and sometimes months to seconds compared to laboratory based analysis.
