VICTORIA GOLD TESTING LABORATORY

ABOUT THE PROJECT

SGS is a highly regarded testing and assay third party in the mining and metallurgy industry.  Given the fact that most extraction locations are in remote locations, it becomes very cumbersome to deliver samples to established laboratories for analysis.  EC has been at the forefront of designing container mounted laboratory units which can be readily transported by conventional means to mineral extraction locations and assembled on site to form a laboratory to address the need, no matter how complex.  A recent project involved the assembly of seven (7) containers which when assembled formed a complete assay laboratory at a mine site close to the Arctic Circle.  The issues addressed included extreme operating environmental conditions.  The laboratory was designed to SGS’s specifications, fabricated on the Lower Mainland under EC’s supervision, shipped to the mine site, assembled and the final assembly was inspected and approved by the EC team of engineers for operation by SGS.
