We are proud to announce our official presence in Namibia, Africa, as we prepare to launch our cutting-edge geochemistry laboratory and minerals testing services, unlocking new possibilities for Namibia’s resource rich future and helping to shape the future of its mining sector.
In full alignment with Namibia’s strategic mining vision, we are supporting the country’s ambitions by delivering world-class testing services. Our newly established commercial laboratory in Walvis Bay, Namibia offers mineral testing services to help exploration and mining enterprises accelerate decision making and ensure quality control. More than just a lab, this facility is a catalyst for progress, offering fast, reliable access to advanced analytical solutions.
The laboratory’s services will include:
- Sample preparation, including drying, crushing, pulverizing, and sieving

By localizing high-performance laboratory services, we are facilitating Namibia’s acceleration of mineral development, minimizing its export dependency and reducing turnaround times for testing procedures. This means faster decisions, lower risks and greater control for stakeholders across the industry.
