FIRE & CHEMICAL LABORATORY
The four samples from the bulk sample circuit, are compared with each other to determine the accuracy of
the blending and splitting of the production lot. The average determination of the samples is recorded as the
content of the production lot. The original assay results from each sample are recorded and available for
inspection by the client to verify the accuracy within the sample portions.
The laboratory sample preparation room is fully equipped with small crushers and pulverizers that are
capable of further reducing samples down to pulps and scales to a size of -100 mesh.
The laboratory includes two hooded electric fire assay furnaces and an atomic absorption
unit. All samples are metallurgically tested, carefully analyzed, measured and weighed to identify the exact amounts of
various elements and metals contained in each sample or production lot.
