The Chrysos Commitment And Mission
Here at Chrysos we combine science and software to create technology solutions that are changing the global mining industry; both from a productivity and environmental impact perspective.
Just like atoms and machines, we believe that everyone is different and how individuals come together is what makes us successful. Headquartered in Adelaide and with team members based in Australia, Europe, Africa and North America, Chrysos Corporation's diverse team of scientists, engineers and industry specialists are coming together to build technologies to provide rapid, accurate and safe ore analysis for the global mining industry.
The company's flagship technology, PhotonAssay, steps around centuries-old chemistry-based assay methods to deliver true 'atom-counting' analysis for the measurement of gold and other high-value metals. With successful global installations, Chrysos is taking PhotonAssay to customers around the world – Chrysos could take you to places that you might not have even imagined yet. There's opportunity around every corner and the support to help you achieve your goals.
