Mining

Value in mining is determined by what is in the rock and how much of it there is. We provide the independent sampling, sample preparation and analysis that exploration results, resource estimates and sales contracts rely on, and we inspect concentrate and bulk mineral cargo at mine, rail and port so that quantity and grade are recorded at transfer.

Analytical and geochemical services

Our mineral laboratories analyse ore, concentrate, tailings and exploration samples for major, minor and trace elements, moisture and physical properties. Sample preparation follows documented protocols with quality control inserts so that results are traceable and defensible.

  • Exploration and grade-control assaying
  • Concentrate and bulk mineral analysis for commercial settlement
  • Moisture determination and physical testing
  • Environmental monitoring of water, soil and dust

Inspection and trade services

Inspectors supervise sampling, weighing and loading of bulk mineral cargoes and prepare the certificates of weight, quality and sampling on which contracts are settled. We also inspect mining plant, lifting equipment and pressure systems on site and audit contractors against safety and quality requirements.

Training in sampling theory, laboratory quality and safety is available for site and laboratory staff.
