ALS Minerals
Iron Ore Technical Centre
The ALS Iron Ore Technical Centre provides a unique integration of analytical, metallurgical, mineralogical and ancilliary testing services, specifically focused on the iron ore sector.
Through the establishment of a large purpose-built facility in Perth, Western Australia, ALS has achieved a quantum expansion of analytical and metallurgical testing capacity enabling delivery of best practice standards for turnaround time and technical service.
Perth is a major global mining hub. The ALS Iron Ore Technical Centre is located in the Perth suburb of Wangara, 28km north of the CBD. The site is 10km north of the ALS Metallurgy laboratory at Balcatta and 12km north-west of the ALS Geochemistry laboratory at Malaga. The ALS Iron Ore Technical Centre spans some 14,000m2 of real estate; the laboratory service facilities alone are in excess of 7,000m2 and readily expandable.
Complementing the ALS Iron Ore Technical Centre investment is a newly expanded 3,600m2 sample preparation facility located in the Perth suburb of Wangara. This high volume sample preparation facility supports the ALS Iron Ore Technical Centre analytical capacity, current and future, to remove bottle-necks associated with sample preparation.
With state-of-the-art equipment including the Automated Fusion and TGA system (HAG8) and scalable analytical processing capacity in excess of 10,000 samples per day, the establishment of the iron ore Technical Centre demonstrates that ALS is prepared to invest for long term industry demands.
The ALS Iron Ore Technical Centre is not just about capacity - it allows a seamless transition from exploration to metallurgical process development testwork. The same company, the same team, working with industry to ensure that knowledge sharing and optimisation is achieved.
With industry leading expertise in elemental analysis, metallurgy and mineralogy, ALS can provide a wide range of iron ore testing, certification and inspection services to cover project life cycles from exploration, resource definition to process optimisation, pre-feasibility, feasibility and production support services:
