Exploration Geochemistry

BUREAU VERITAS LABORATORIES ARE RENOWNED FOR THE USE OF CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES TO OBTAIN THE LOW LEVELS OF DETECTION NEEDED TO MEET EXPLORATION GEOCHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS.

Bureau Veritas’s geochemistry methods are designed for nonmineralized to weakly mineralized material. They have been optimized to provide trace to ultra-trace detection limits and maximum anomaly to background contrast. BV’s modified aqua regia (1:1:1 HNO3:HCl:H2O) packages target labile elements in soil, to more aggressive multi-acid digestions that are near total for almost all matrices. For projects with a gold focus, larger sample sizes are available to provide the most representative sample possible and mitigate nugget effects. 

Methods Include

• Aqua Regia Digestions
• Mult Acid Digestion
• Biogeochemistry
