- Our Process
A Process You Can See. Results You Can Verify.
Every material stream begins with the same commitment: clear communication, disciplined handling, and a process designed to give you confidence in what happens next. The exact path changes with the material. The standard of visibility does not.

Built For Clarity At Every Critical Step.
Material-Specific
Planning
The right approach begins with what the material is, how it is formed, and what it requires before sampling and processing.
Represented
Visibility
Clients and their chosen representatives are welcome during key weighing and sampling stages, subject to the applicable process and location.
Documented
Handling
Receipt, material information, and key process steps are handled through a clear, professional process designed to support traceability.
Clear
Communication
The team explains the next step, the relevant process path, and the information needed to keep work moving responsibly.
— Inside The Process
One Clear Route. The Right Process For The Material.
Start With The Material
Share the material type, available specifications, and approximate volume so the team can begin with the right questions.
Receive And Weigh
Material is received through the applicable process, identified, and weighed with clear documentation and represented visibility where appropriate.
Prepare And Sample
The preparation and sampling method is selected to suit the material's physical form, composition, and process requirements.
Analyze And Compare
The agreed analysis path provides information for a clear discussion of the material and the next commercial step.
Move Toward Settlement
Once the process and metal content are confirmed, settlement proceeds in accordance with the agreed terms and process.
Some material paths include specialized preparation, controlled melting, incineration, or internal laboratory analysis. Explore the relevant process below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which process is right for my material?
The right process begins with the material itself. The team considers its type, physical form, available information, approximate volume, and any relevant handling requirements before identifying the most practical path.
Can I or my representative be present during weighing and sampling?
Clients and their chosen representatives are welcome during applicable weighing and sampling stages. Availability depends on the material, location, and agreed process, so the team will clarify what applies to your lot.
Why do different materials require different sampling methods?
Materials can vary in physical form, moisture, composition, particle size, and the way valuable metals are distributed through the lot. The sampling method must suit those characteristics to create a useful basis for the analysis that follows.
What happens after a sample is prepared?
The sample follows the agreed analysis path. The team then communicates the relevant findings and the next step in the material and commercial process.
What if my material does not fit one of the listed process paths?
Contact the team to discuss specialized or custom processing. Material that is unusual, mixed, high in moisture, difficult to identify, or outside a standard category may need an initial review before a specific path can be recommended.
