CCRMP collects minerals samples in batches of 500-1000 kg and through a series of crushing, grinding and sieving steps, produces a fine powder, which is then bottled, certified and sold to chemical laboratories worldwide. Types of materials processed are ores, rocks, concentrates, tailings, soils, alloys and radioactive materials.
