Independent commercial laboratory serving the mineral exploration and mining industry across Atlantic Canada — fire assay, multi-element ICP-OES, and sample preparation since 1987.
Gold by classical lead-collection fire assay on 30 g charges — fused, cupelled, and finished by AA, ICP, or gravimetrically. The workhorse method for exploration and grade control, with the AA finish inside the lab's ISO/IEC 17025 accredited scope.
34 elements in one scan by four-acid digestion and ICP-OES — the cost-effective first look at lithogeochemistry and pathfinder elements, commonly paired with fire assay gold.
Drying, crushing, splitting, and pulverizing for rock, core, soils, tills, and sediments — with documented cleaning between clients to control carry-over.
Pre-register sample lists, monitor batches through prep and analysis, and pull certified results the moment they're signed off. A dedicated client portal is on the way.
