Combined quantitative determination of gold and copper in geological and mineral-processing samples, supporting exploration, grade evaluation and process-monitoring applications.
Gold, Copper & Silver Analysis
Combined quantitative determination of gold, copper and silver in geological and process samples, providing analytical data for exploration and ore characterization.
Gold, Copper & Sulphur Analysis
Combined determination of gold, copper and sulphur content to support ore characterization, metallurgical assessment and mineral-processing evaluation.
Gold, Copper, Silver & Sulphur Analysis
Combined quantitative determination of gold, copper, silver and sulphur in geological and process samples, supporting ore characterization and metallurgical assessment.
Multi-Element Analysis
Determination of multiple elements in a single sample for a broader analytical profile, supporting exploration and process-monitoring decisions.
Metallurgical Testing
Specialized testing for cyanide leaching performance and heterogeneous gold-bearing samples.
Conventional Cyanide Leaching Test
Controlled laboratory-scale cyanide leaching tests for evaluating the gold extraction characteristics and potential metallurgical response of gold-bearing materials.
Cyanide Leaching Parameter Optimization
Systematic evaluation of key process parameters influencing cyanide leaching performance, assisting in evaluating operating conditions for improved gold extraction and process efficiency.
Carbon Activity Test
Evaluation of activated carbon performance to support carbon-in-pulp and carbon-in-leach process monitoring and recovery assessment.
Metallic Screening & Gold Evaluation
Specialized evaluation of heterogeneous or coarse-gold-bearing samples where conventional sample preparation may be affected by uneven gold distribution or the nugget effect.
