On-site laboratories are niche technical areas that require specific expertise. These labs provide critical operational, environmental and metallurgical data that guide site activities and so should be designed and operated by those with extensive experience in this area.
WHY OUTSOURCE?
Outsourcing of mine-site laboratories allows you to allocate capital and staff more efficiently, concentrate on your core competencies and ensure that the data you base important decisions upon is accurate and consistent. The impartiality of a third party outsourcing partner ensures your results are transparent and meet regulatory reporting requirements.
Many companies choose to outsource their analytical requirements for exploration or production laboratory services to SGS. SGS expertise is unparalleled in the industry, with approximately 100 geochemical laboratories currently in operation. We apply the same principles, procedures and quality standards to our outsourced laboratories that we do to our commercial labs. Allowing SGS to design, staff and operate your lab will ensure that you have at your disposal a full scope of capabilities for the fast turn-around of accurate, reliable data needed to run and optimize your plant operations.
OUTSOURCING OPTIONS
SGS provides mine-site laboratories that offer high quality and rapid turnaround for a range of analyses which can be tailored to your specific needs. These analyses include precious metals, base metals and industrial minerals. SGS can also provide sample preparation services when you are undertaking remote or high volume exploration programs.
The SGS Build, Own, Operate, and Maintain (BOOM) initiative is available globally to the minerals industry. This program provides clients the opportunity to outsource capital requirements, engineering, construction, commissioning, maintenance and operation of non-core facilities.
