Mining and Exploration
Testmark is a leading supplier of testing services to the mining industry.
Our labs are located within the hub of Canada’s main mining regions, making access to testing that much easier and minimizing unnecessary delays or inconvenient shipping logistics.
Our dispersed model also ensures we contribute infrastructure and jobs to these communities. Working with our First Nation partners, we have helped provide new opportunities in the form of financial agreements, training, employment, and sponsorship for cultural events.
Our scope of testing fits the needs of this industry, including testing geared towards baseline monitoring, effluent monitoring, toxicity testing, metals-uptake studies, mercury and methylmercury contamination investigations, specialized cyanide testing, vegetation, fish and mammal contaminant testing, air quality testing including MECP dustfall and HiVol applications, bench-scale process testing and much more. Access to Testmark’s secure online data portal can also assist with filtering, trending and exporting your data your way.
