Precious Mineral Chemical Tests

There are many qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis methods performed for businesses. Specific methods are selected according to the goals of the enterprises and the characteristics of the samples examined.

Essentially, the four most important things to consider before starting any chemical analysis are:

• What are the specific elements that are expected to be analyzed?
• What are the properties of these elements, namely atomic weight and atomic number?
• What are the concentrations (weight percent, ppt, ppm or ppb values) of the elements under consideration?
• Which minerals or mineral phases are associated with certain elements?

Metallurgy is a science that tries to determine the behavior and properties of metals. It serves an important purpose in many sectors especially in terms of quality control and value determination. Metallurgy science and technology in the mining industry plays a critical role in extracting metals from ore and refining for end use.

In fact, mine testing is a crucial component of the project's successful turning into a profitable mine during a exploration and evaluation phase. During mine testing, mining engineers evaluate the state and composition of the mine to be mined and decide whether it is economically feasible to extract and process at a commercial level.

Mine tests are also of great importance in valuable mineral exploration and processing projects. Valuable mineral chemical tests help protect projects from risk and ensure reliable investment. The higher the recoveries, the higher the percentage of precious metal extracted from the ore during processing, the higher the profit margin of the business and the faster the return on investments.

The positive test results show whether the exploration and extraction activities will be possible on the one hand and the efficiency of these activities on the other hand. These test results are also important to reveal the environmental footprint of the project.
