Combined PGM, Precious Metals & Multi-Element Package & Multi-Element
Purpose of this package
This package is used to obtain comprehensive overview about Platinum Group Metals (PGM), precious metals (gold and silver), as well as other important metals in a single analysis series. The analysis results serve as the basis technical and economic feasibility assessment of processing in the initial stage.
This package is suitable for use prior to metallurgical testing or further studies.
Metals Analyzed
Platinum Group Metals (PGM)
Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, Ir, Os
Precious metal
Au, Ag
Non-PGM Metals
Sb, Cu, Al, Ni, Zn, Fe, Sn, Co, Bi, Cd, Ti, Pb, Mn, Cr, Ga*, In

Cost & sample delivery
-
The analysis fee does not include the cost of sending the sample to us.
-
All costs and risks during shipping are borne by sender's responsibility
Value added services
- This analysis doesn’t just produce lab reports.
- The results will be accompanied by practical interpretation and initial assessment by mineral processing expert, so you can understand the significance of the analysis results in terms of processing potential and next steps.
When to choose this package
-
If you suspect there is PGMs (such as platinum), gold in a single material
-
If you need comprehensive data for initial technical decisions
-
If you want practical understanding, not just analytical numbers
Summary
PGM, gold, and silver are analyzed using fire assay; other metals are analyzed using a 4-acid digestion. All results are measured using ICP-OES and accompanied by practical interpretations for processing evaluation.
