SAMPLE SPECIFICATIONS

     The results of any assay are no better than the viability of the sample sent in. Make sure to take a true, representative sample of the material you wish to have assayed. It is best to send in, and have assayed, several samples to receive a more accurate report. It is wiser to do several assays, than to go forward with a project based on just one assay report.

     If you send in more than one sample at a time (in the same mailing), please mark a number or name of some kind on each. So, you will know what area the sample is from. On our report back to you, we will list the results separately according to your sample numbers or names. We will also provide you with the average of multiple samples sent in.

     Shipping of Sample: The best way to send a sample to us is through the U.S. mail, directly to our P.O. Box. The USPS "Flat Rate" boxes are recommended as the most economical and fastest method.

     Sample Quantity: An ore sample of a minimum 8-ounces is preferred, for best results. Concentrates: a 3-ounce sample will be sufficient. On ingot drillings and plated metals, please call. If in doubt as to sample size, please call.
