We provide high quality customized metallurgical test work designed specifically to the client's needs to assist them in bringing their project through to production.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently operate out of one location in Sparks, Nevada. We had a laboratory presence in Mexico and Honduras in the past however, found that we can maintain the desired level of quality control and attention to detail best if we keep all test work in one location.
