Kalgoorlie Assay Laboratoryis our largest laboratory, as well as being
our technical and administrative base.
Located just off Great Eastern Highway in West Kalgoorlie,
K.A.L. boasts the widest range of analytical services available
anywhere in the Goldfields.
Major investment in cutting-edge technologies has
equipped this laboratory to cater for mining and exploration companies
pursuing Gold, Nickel, Silver, Tantalum and Rare Earths. Analysis
at the ppb and even ppt levels can now be done efficiently and
promptly by using K.A.L's ICP-OES, ICP-MS and XRF instruments.
Most of our group's research and development work
is conducted at K.A.L. in conjunction with nearby mining and mineral
processing sites.
This laboratory also features three
totally separate sample preparation areas; one each for PPB Geochemical
Exploration, Normal Exploration and Grade Control.
We also have the ability to segregate one of our sample preparation
areas for the processing of hazardous samples. .....
