BUILT AROUND YOUR REQUIREMENT
Mineral Testing with a clear purpose
Each engagement starts with the required outcome, operating context and evidence of success. The result is a focused Mineral Testing scope with clear responsibilities and handover points.
Sampling
Sampling plans and chain-of-custody from site to laboratory.
Standards-based methods
Testing to ISO, ASTM, EN, GSO and SASO methods.
Reports you can use
Certified reports with interpretation and next steps.
6 SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES
What the service can cover
Select the capabilities that match your Mineral Testing requirement, operating context and agreed delivery stage.
Elemental Composition Analysis
Measure selected elements using appropriate analytical methods, including X-ray fluorescence where suitable. Results support comparison with composition specifications and reference materials.
Mineral Identification
Coordinate mineral identification using X-ray diffraction or other suitable methods. Findings clarify the mineral composition relevant to feedstock evaluation or production investigations.
Trace-Impurity Testing
Assess specified trace impurities within the required concentration range. Reports identify measured values and findings requiring supplier clarification or further investigation.
Ore & Concentrate Assay Programmes
Develop targeted analytical panels for submitted ores and concentrates. Test selection reflects the elements of interest, expected concentrations and agreed quality specification.
Industrial Mineral Feedstock Assessment
Compare mineral powders and feedstocks with purchasing or production requirements. Findings support material selection and investigation of inconsistent supplied quality.
Batch Comparison & Reporting-Basis Review
Compare analytical results using consistent preparation and reporting arrangements. Dry-basis and as-received results are distinguished where relevant to interpreting material differences.
HOW WE WORK
From test question to usable findings
A defined workflow keeps the work aligned with the approved scope and makes progress, decisions and handover easier to manage.
Scope your requirement- 01
Define the requirement
Confirm the sample or product, applicable specification and decision the testing must support.
- 02
Build the test programme
Agree specimens, operating conditions, measurements, methods and acceptance criteria before work begins.
- 03
Coordinate testing
Manage the assignment with an appropriate specialist partner laboratory and keep the agreed scope visible.
- 04
Report and decide
Present measured results, observed changes, deviations, limitations and priorities for any further investigation.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Evidence designed for the next decision
Agreed test programme
Defined samples, methods, reporting expectations and assessment criteria before testing starts.
Coordinated specialist testing
Testing coordinated with partner laboratories selected for the required analytical methods.
Clear technical findings
Documented results, observations, deviations and limitations for the scope actually completed.
Practical next steps
Priorities for review, corrective action, further analysis or specialist investigation where needed.
