ELEMENT DETERMINATION

Synopsis: MULTI-ELEMENT ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) is performed as single element or multi-element (30 Element Sweep). It helps determine the composition of metals and minerals in ore. Elemental analysis aids in characterizing the geological structure of ore samples in order to configure processes that maximize gold extraction.

SOLUTION ANALYSIS

Synopsis: There is no universal formula for effective leaching solutions. Just like the geological composition of ore varies, so does the balance of solutions used to extract metals. Our lab will help you determine the most effective chemical balances that maximize extractions while simultaneously minimizing the volume of solution needed (waste from ineffectiveness). Proper solution ratios reduce the time needed to maximize recoveries resulting in considerable cost reductions throughout the life of mine.
