Talk About The Problem

The problem with mining laboratories is NOT that of results produced to support the business. It’s a lack of systems that deliver results consistently.

Many labs can deliver a test or an analysis once. The problem lies in the lack of robust systems that ensure every result, every report, every time meets the same standard of accuracy, reliability, and timeliness.

Without consistency, results lose their power. Unreliable data leads to poor decisions, wasted resources, and missed opportunities. Businesses can’t build strategies on uncertainty, they need systems that transform data into dependable insights.

ISO 17025 Certification with Sirius Analytical Consultancy Services

While working at a mine in East Africa I had the opportunity to work with Makumba Musambachime with Sirius Analytical.  At the time we were Nationalizing a site laboratory and obtaining an ISO 17025 certification at the same time. Makumba was instrumental in building the team’s skills and training the team in proper QA/QC, repeatability and precision.  With Makumba guidance, the site was able to reduce costs with their own staff and remove an overhead expense with contract labour, as well as maintain quality and compliance with strict standards for assays.  This was imperative with exploration and commercial requirements of the site.  Makumba provided excellent leadership, mentoring and professionalism to the laboratory.  He has a great understanding of continuous improvement, method development and the experience to get a lab to any international certifications necessary. If it were not for logistics, Sirius Analytical would rival any North American laboratory consulting service.
