About ELEMISSION
ELEMISSION is a Montreal-based mining technology company. We design and manufacture LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) core and sample analyzers under our ECORE product line, giving exploration and mining teams rapid, lab-grade elemental analysis directly at the core shed and on site, rather than waiting weeks for offsite assays.
We are moving from a traditional equipment-sales model to a service and lease model, so operators can access the technology with minimal upfront capital. We already work with leading producers, and we partner with CSIRO on technology validation and development. Australia is one of our most strategically important markets, and we are putting our first person on the ground to grow it.
