Select a service area below or send us your sample details. Final methods, turnaround times and reporting requirements are confirmed after technical review.

LABORATORY TESTING

Characterise mineral and material samples through structured physical, instrumental and chemical investigation.

Mineral identification

Diagnostic screening using hardness, streak, lustre, cleavage, magnetism and reaction observations.

XRF elemental screening

Non-destructive elemental screening for suitable prepared mineral and material samples.

Petrographic examination

Macroscopic and microscopy-supported review of rock composition, texture and mineral relationships.

Targeted wet chemistry

Controlled reagent-based checks selected to support a defined analytical question.

MINERAL & COMMODITY ANALYSIS

Generate decision-ready evidence for ores, concentrates, industrial minerals and traded material samples.

Precious and platinum group review

Scoped analytical pathways for gold, palladium and related precious-metal bearing material.

Critical mineral screening

Elemental and mineral observations for lithium, cobalt, coltan and other critical-mineral samples.

Non-ferrous material screening

Initial characterisation of copper, nickel, zinc, lead and associated mineral material.

Industrial mineral assessment

Physical and compositional screening for industrial mineral specifications and intended use.

SAMPLE & TRADE SUPPORT

Improve sample traceability, preparation quality and confidence in material or shipment information.

Sample preparation and physical testing

Drying, splitting, sizing and physical-property work selected for the required test method.

Sampling plan review

Independent review of sampling approach, representativity and chain-of-custody requirements.

Quality and quantity verification

Project-scoped comparison of supplied commodity information against observed or tested evidence.

Custom analytical investigation

A tailored technical review for unusual specimens, disputes or inconclusive screening outcomes.

INSIDE THE LABORATORY

Testing in progress.

Controlled preparation, calibrated instrumentation and reviewed observations turn each submitted specimen into a traceable laboratory result.
