REFINING DEPARTMENT
|
|
Our in-house laboratory has capacities to assay all precious metals... gold, silver, platinum and palladium. All are analyzed with accuracy and precision in our new laboratory. A clean, modern facility with all the built-in environmental safeties that concern all of us today. |

|
|
SAMPLING
Sampling is done in our clean, modern temperature controlled environment adjacent to the smelting and sweeps rooms. A sample is selected, sealed and made ready for the laboratory.
|
|
|
CHEMICAL BREAKDOWN
All incoming samples are treated three times to prevent errors. Most assay houses only duplicate the process and then average their conclusions. Our extra effort assures you the most accurate results in the industry.
|

|
CUPELLATION
The "Wet Assay" as it is sometimes referred, is actually cupellation with chemical breakdown. It is still the most reliable and proven method known. Here the sample is wrapped in a lead foil and is being absorbed into the cupel. |
