The consulting practice has done due diligence work, contributed to NI 43-101 reports, and performed technical audits, forensic investigations, and optimization studies. The laboratory work covers the physical processes, such as crushing, grinding, gravity separation, flotation and classification, and the hydrometallurgical processes, such as leaching, precipitation, solvent extraction and electrowinning. We have integrated our analytical services into our team approach towards laboratory projects. We are ISO 9001 and 14001 certified.
