For a producer, everything downstream rests on the accuracy of the assay. Precise metal-content determination, reliable grade control and defensible moisture and transportable-moisture-limit figures all demand analytical discipline at every step. Independent, ISO/IEC 17025-accredited results give you numbers that hold up to any scrutiny.

Why producers choose Bachelet
  • Independent assay for offtake settlement — a figure both buyer and seller trust.
  • Moisture & TML determination for safe, compliant concentrate shipment.
  • Grade control and check-assay programmes with full QA/QC traceability.
  • Umpire referral when a result is contested downstream.
