— The process · from receipt to analysis

A Process Built For Visibility From The Start.

  • — Identify

One Lot, One Reference

Each shipment is assigned a unique reference number at receipt to support clear identification and documentation.

  • — Verify

Weights You Can Verify

Material is weighed on certified industrial scales with visibility for the client or an authorized representative.

  • — Verify

Sampling You Can Follow

Representative sampling follows defined procedures designed to support an accurate analysis of the lot.

  • The Process

Clear Steps. Documented From Arrival To Sample Dispatch.

01 Material Receipt And Identification

When material arrives, the team receives the shipment, assigns a unique reference number, and records the information needed to begin the process clearly.

02 Represented Weighing

Material is weighed on certified industrial scales. You or an authorized representative may be present to observe the weight verification and documentation.

03 Representative Sampling

The team takes samples using defined procedures intended to reflect the lot accurately. The method is selected according to the material and the next processing step.

04 Documentation And Sample Dispatch

Weights, handling details, and sample information are documented. Samples are prepared for the agreed analysis path, and the next steps are communicated clearly.

  • Why It Matters

Confidence Comes From Seeing The Process.

Weighing and sampling are critical moments in determining how a lot is evaluated. Representation gives you a direct view of the work and a clearer foundation for the analysis that follows.

A Clear Starting Point

A documented receipt and weight record establish the basis for the work ahead.

A Process You Can Observe

Clients and chosen representatives are welcome during represented weighing and sampling stages.

A Better Basis For Analysis

Representative sampling supports a meaningful comparison of assay information and the next commercial discussion.

  • Consistent By Design

One Clear Standard Across Our Receiving Locations.

Whether material is received at the Sparks headquarters or at an approved sampling operation in Mexico, the team follows a documented process designed to keep the work clear, professional, and traceable from receipt through sample dispatch.

  • What You Can Expect

Information That Supports A Clear Next Step.

The represented process is designed to make the work understandable at the moments that matter most. Your team can expect clear communication around receipt, observed weighing, sampling, and the agreed analysis path.
  • A unique lot reference at receipt
  • Observed or represented weighing, where applicable
  • Documented material and sample handling
  • Clear communication about the analysis path
  • A direct point of contact for next-step questions
This is intentionally a high-level explanation. It does not promise portal access, immediate reporting, fixed assay dates, settlement timelines, or documentation formats beyond what the client confirms.

Questions About Represented Weighing And Sampling.

Can I or my representative be present during weighing and sampling?
Yes. Clients and their chosen representatives are welcome during applicable represented weighing and sampling stages. The team will coordinate the timing and details based on the material and receiving location.
Each shipment is assigned a unique JRI reference number at receipt. That reference supports clear identification and documentation as the material moves through the applicable process.
Material is weighed on certified industrial scales. The final process description and any details about scale certification or calibration are confirmed by Just Refiners operations.
The sampling method depends on the material type, physical form, preparation needs, and the next processing step. Carbon, non-milled by-products, high-grade material, and specialized material can require different approaches.
Weights, handling details, and sample information are documented. The samples then move through the agreed analysis path, and the team communicates the relevant next step.
