Laboratory services
ANARPAM laboratory specializes in chemical, physicochemical and mineralogical analyzes for prospection, mining and overall scientific research.
The laboratory comprises three operational sections with high tech equipment and qualified human resources to meet the needs of ANARPAM and mining companies. Lab services are:
1- MECHANICAL PREPARATION
ANARPAM laboratory provides you with a modern mechanical preparation workshop (several chains made up of hardened steel jaw crushers, tungsten or agate carbide disc pulverizers, sieve shakers, etc.) loads soil or rock samples to:
- Crushing less than 1.75mm.
- Spray ranging from 80 to 53 microns.
- Particle size control by sieving every ten samples.
- Sample segregation to avoid any contamination.
Services provided include:
| Service | Price (MRU) / Sample | |
| Drying | 50 | |
| Sieving | 50 | |
| Crushing, primary, secondary and pulverization | 250 | |
| Spray | 800 grams | 200 |
| 100 grams | 100 | |
2- CHEMICAL AND MINERAL ANALYSIS
This service relies on high tech equipment for the analysis of a wide range of metals for different mining and industrial use and applications. The reliability of our results is guaranteed by our accreditation and participatory testing, together with inter-laboratory aptitude (Geostats LTD), in which we participate every year. Our laboratory is classified among laboratories with satisfactory Z-Scores.
