For precious minerals testing, traditional chemical assay analysis, such as fire assay, can be time-consuming, labor-intensive and only measures a small volume of material. PhotonAssay analysis is a non-destructive, environmentally friendly replacement for fire assay that delivers accurate analysis for gold, silver, copper and complementary elements that is faster and safer. It can be delivered from our world-class commercial laboratory. By using high-energy X-rays this method can deliver results in as little as two minutes per sample.

SGS is the world’s leading testing and certification company. We provide unparalleled analytical support and analysis on a wide range of geological materials containing precious, base, rare earths and battery metals, as well as bulk commodities, such as bauxite and iron ore.
Our global network of commercial, on-site, mobile laboratories and in-field services provide high-quality analytical data to help you make informed decisions and add value to your project. Our unrivaled expertise and experience support you both as a strategic partner and technical advisor.
