Global Mineralogy Research Group (GMRG) studies minerals, including organic and inorganic materials, and their chemistry. The organization provides scientists and enthusiasts with information to support mineral research and cataloging, helping them identify the elements present and assess their quantitative properties. Rather than relying only on visual examination of hand samples, GMRG uses a range of analytical methods and field resources to investigate what is present in the ground.

Its capabilities include XRF scanning, satellite scans, in-ground geosensors, and in-field researchers. The group also offers mineral analysis covering elemental composition, density, cohesion, and other properties, using industry expertise and specialized equipment. One instrument highlighted by GMRG is the Thermo Fisher Scientific Niton XL3t XRF Analyzer, which it describes as extremely accurate. By combining technology and research methods, GMRG aims to make extensive mineral data more accessible at a fraction of typical costs. The organization provides information about its equipment and invites prospective clients to request a quote for its services.
