FAST Service Offering Expanded to Include detectORE^TM Technology

We are pleased to announce the expansion of our Field Analytical Services and Testing (FAST) service offering to include Portable PPB's detectORETM technology, which provides faster turnaround times for gold analysis.

Our clients seek fast turnaround times and timely insights to facilitate accurate and prompt decision making. To meet their demands, we are expanding our FAST solutions to ensure that explorers and miners can swiftly access data when undertaking drilling and sampling programs.

The latest expansion of FAST includes the integration of Portable PPB detectORE to provide more rapid low-level gold (Au) analysis. This is a non-toxic, field ready partial leach method that is both practical and safe. Its technology can be used to analyze multiple types of sample materials including soils, RC chips and drill core, when prepared properly. Our full service includes sample preparation, sample processing, pXRF and detectORE analyses for real-time targeting and next day gold analysis.

For rapid turnaround of data insights on larger field campaigns, these services can be used with our Mobile Sample Preparation Units (MSPUs). These preparation units adhere to the strict quality control requirements of our commercial laboratories but add the flexibility of deployment in any location, from a busy exploration region to a remote client project.

"SGS is excited to expand our in-field service offering yet again with the addition of Portable PPB detectORE technology. Our clients will benefit from reliable next day gold analysis to consolidate project timelines through faster decision making." Andrew Pickering, Global VP Business Development, Geochemistry.
