When data integrity is an issue, Laboratory Quality Management Services Pty Ltd is skilled in the independent review of:

Analytical data [statistically] for.

• Precision.
• Accuracy.
• Bias.
• Representativeness.

Methodologies and equipment from sample preparation to result reporting for.

• Appropriateness.
• Adherence to agreed protocols.
• Validation.

A lack of attention to the analytical aspects of an exploration, ore evaluation or environmental assessment program can quickly result in major additional unnecessary costs. The degree to which analytical data is valid can be the difference between making the right decision or assessment, or wasting valuable time and money:

• Explorationists chasing phantom geochemical anomalies.
• Explorationists leaving orebodies undetected.
• Mine closures resulting from overestimation of grades at the feasibility stage.
• Unnecessary environmental clean-up effort – analytical results of environmental samples form the basis of remediation decisions and dictate corporate environmental liability.

We can work with laboratories to suitably resolve identified issues. Effective management of the validity of analytical data clearly adds value, can change outcomes and contribute to considerable savings of time and money for our clients. Laboratory Quality Management Services Pty Ltd provides an independent review of analytical data integrity.
