Analysis for Mineral Exploration and Mining beneficiation  

The mining industry relies on elemental analysis to effectively locate mineral deposits, manage beneficiation processes, and transform minerals into supplier materials. This essential analysis demands high-quality laboratory consumables to ensure the accuracy of the data outputs.

In exploration QA/QC programs, Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) play a crucial role during early-stage sampling and drilling campaigns by validating the quality of geochemical data. As mining operations progress, elemental analysis is used to monitor ore quality and guide efficient extraction strategies. In geochemical analysis, testing using CRMs supports the precise characterization of ore deposits, supplying traceable data that is essential for accurate assessments.  

Industry Leading Geochemical Reference Materials 

The OREAS® portfolio of certified reference materials is ideal for supporting mining exploration programs and mine processing elemental analysis applications.

Well-known for their homogeneity, these well-characterized elemental reference materials cover a wide range of matrixes, including Gold, Copper, Zinc, Nickel, Rare Earth Elements, precious metal ores, and concentrates.

Because geological deposits can vary widely, we also offer custom matrix-matched CRMs for customers with specific requirements. Pair our OREAS CRMs with AnalytiChem sample preparation equipment and consumables for a complete solution.
