Delivering trust and certainty from exploration to production.
Reliable geochemical data is the foundation of a successful mining project. Alfred H Knight provides independent geochemical analysis of mineral samples to give you the certainty you need to support mineral exploration efforts, resource evaluation, mineral-grade control, and make timely, critical decisions.
We manage the entire sample lifecycle, integrating secure logistics and specialised sample preparation. Using both advanced spectroscopy and fire assay, we deliver the verified data essential for accurate geological and geometallurgical modelling and reporting.

Data quality begins before the sample reaches the instrument. Poor preparation is the leading cause of analytical error, which is why we prioritise geochemical sample preparation and secure chain-of-custody.
We eliminate cross-contamination risks through automated LIMS tracking and precision crushing protocols. From core and rock to soil and sediment, we ensure the material we analyse truly represents the geology you drilled. Our integrated approach combines laboratory excellence with secure logistics, giving you full visibility of your samples from the mine site to the assay certificate.
Our global laboratories utilise diverse liquid and solid digestion methods to ensure accurate detection across most ore deposit types. We specialise in demanding conditions, including refractory gold, nugget-effect gold, and complex Platinum Group Metals (PGMs).
Our geochemical testing capabilities for precious metals include:
For comprehensive deposit characterisation, we deliver precise multi-element analysis for exploration and grade control using state-of-the-art ICP-AES and ICP-MS instrumentation.
Beyond standard assays, we offer a suite of specialised services to address complex ore mineralogy and chemical properties, including:
From scoping studies to full-scale operations, contact us to see how we can help you understand the geochemistry of your materials.
