bulletPHYSIOLOGICAL AND PLANT SAFETY OPERATIONS

FIELD SAMPLING

        MSRDI personnel are fully trained to perform field-sampling services in order to obtain the most representative samples for analyses. This is accomplished with the coordination of project geologists, hydrologists and environmental engineers.

LABORATORY TESTING

        Laboratory testing includes bench testing, pyrometallurgy, assaying, leaching and electrowinning. Standardized detection and determination tests include Atomic Absorption Spectrographic Analysis, Induction Coupled Plasma Analysis and the conventional Wet Chemistry methods.

RESOURCE AUDIT

        The laboratory test results list the metals, minerals and chemicals found in the samples. Each trace amount is identified and quantified. Contaminants are isolated for extended analysis.

PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PLANT SAFETY OPERATIONS

        MSRDI prepares reports on physiological and plant safety operations directed towards specific project activity. Guidelines set forth are established by OSHA, EPA and other regulatory agencies.
