Minerals & Ore


Our laboratories perform a wide range of analysis to support the controls in the field of mining for the chemical composition of minerals and ores.

The analytical services deal with chemical analyses of mineral composition including micro and Macro minerals such as pH, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, sodium, potassium, Silicon, and organic matter.

Metals are extracted from minerals. Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic, solid chemical compounds, which often forms crystals.

A rock is composed of one or several minerals. While all rocks contain metals, not all rocks are considered valuable enough to mine. It is possible for rocks to contain so called mineralization, which is a deposition of valuable minerals in a large quantity. These depositions occur due to various geological processes. If a mineralization can be mined with profit, considering all costs of mining and the value of the minerals on the market, it is called an ore.
