Our Geochemistry Services support the mining and mineral industries with accurate analysis of ores, rocks, and mineral samples. By applying advanced instrumentation and global best practices, we help clients evaluate the composition, quality, and economic potential of their resources.

Key Offering

  • Characterize ore bodies and mineral deposits.
  • Identify major, minor, and trace elements.
  • Support feasibility studies, exploration, and resource evaluation.
  • Ensure compliance with industry and environmental standards.

Methods

  • Elemental Analysis – XRF, ICP-OES, and wet chemistry for accurate determination of mineral content.
  • Ore Characterization – Petrographic and mineralogical assessments to understand structure and composition.
  • Quality Control – Analysis of concentrates, tailings, and beneficiation products.
  • Specialized Testing – Sulfur, carbon, and loss on ignition (LOI) for metallurgical applications.

Capabilities

  • Sample Preparation:We recognise that sample preparation is critical to producing a representative, homogenous sub-sample from the original raw material. GTS offers a wide range of preparation methods including drying, crushing, splitting, pulverising, and screening. Our state-of-the-art crushers and pulverisers ensure consistency and reproducibility. Specialised preparation protocols can also be customized to meet project-specific requirements.
  • Multi-Elemental Analysis:For geological exploration, GTS utilises advanced ICP-MS and ICP-OES technologies to deliver high-precision analysis of base metals, critical minerals, trace elements, and rare earth elements (REE). This enables clients to obtain robust data for resource evaluation and process optimization.
  • Precious Metals Analysis:With extensive expertise in precious metals testing, GTS provides reliable and reproducible results for gold, silver, and platinum group elements (PGEs). We apply a range of techniques including fire assay, cyanide leach, and aqua regia digestion, enabling accurate determination from parts-per-billion to percent concentrations.
  • Bulk Commodity Analysis:Our laboratory specialises in bulk commodity testing, using fusion decomposition, pellet techniques, and XRF (EDXRF & WDXRF) methods for industrial minerals and ores such as iron ore, bauxite, manganese, and chromite. Common evaluations include moisture content, loss on ignition (LOI), and elemental composition.
  • Quality Control & Assurance:Quality underpins everything we do. GTS operates under an integrated Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), enabling traceability, data integrity, and real-time oversight. Our global quality program incorporates proficiency testing (PTP), inter-laboratory comparisons, and scheduled audits. We are fully aligned with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 standards, ensuring every result meets international benchmarks for accuracy and reliability.

Value to Clients

With precise geochemical data, our clients gain confidence in resource valuation, process optimization, and project decision-making. This ensures maximum return on investment while reducing exploration and operational risks.
