Applied Diamond Services

SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories Diamond Services has provided the international diamond industry with dependable kimberlite exploration services for over 25 years, including:

• Micro diamond extraction by caustic fusion
• Recovery and secure sorting of macro diamonds at our kimberlite mini-bulk sample plant
• Kimberlite indicator mineral (KIMs) processing and observation

Building on our core expertise, the lab is continually improving services and expanding its capacity. We offer an extensive range of services that are unique to the Canadian market, which provides convenient processing for diamond companies. Our lab is the only place in Canada that characterizes diamonds for recovery attributes, such as:

• Luminescence intensity or decay time responses to X-ray irradiation
• Magnetic susceptibility (responses) when subjected to magnetic separation
• Hydrophobicity when subjected to grease recovery
• Laser Raman when assessing automated final sorting
