Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you process for precious metal recovery?
We primarily process gold-bearing carbon and other feedstocks containing precious metals (e.g., silver). Share a brief description (type, source, approximate grades), and we’ll advise on suitability and the best processing route.
How much carbon can you handle per batch?
We accommodate a wide range, from small test batches to 500 kg in each coloumn. For larger or recurring volumes, we can schedule staggered batches or ongoing processing to keep turnaround predictable.
What recovery rates and turnaround times can I expect?
Recovery depends on grade and condition. Our methods target consistently high recovery, we’ll provide expected ranges after assessing a sample or recent assay. Typical turnaround is communicated upfront, priority slots are available.
How do you ensure transparency and security of my material?
We maintain strict chain-of-custody: batch tagging, secure storage, and documented process steps. Clients receive clear reporting on weights, assays (where applicable), and yields for full reconciliation.
Do you offer sampling, assaying, or test runs?
Yes. We can run screening tests or assist with assaying to establish expected recoveries and economics before full-scale processing.
What environmental and safety practices do you follow?
Our processes and handling procedures are designed for environmental responsibility and site safety, with controlled waste management and best-practice chemical handling to protect staff, clients, and the community.
If you’d like, I can tailor these to match your exact services (e.g., specific turnaround in days, accepted carbon specs, fee structure, or certifications).
