Commodities & Testing

RDi has tested ores and materials across virtually every commodity class in the mining and minerals industry. Laboratory programs have been completed for gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, iron ore, tungsten, tin, lithium, rare earth elements, vanadium, manganese, titanium, chromite, phosphate, potash, trona, barite, feldspar, mica, kaolin, talc, silica sand, limestone, gypsum, diatomaceous earth, zeolite, bentonite, graphite, fluorspar, wollastonite, and coal.

RDi also performs testwork for recycled and secondary feed materials including battery black mass, electronic waste, slag, tailings reprocessing, and industrial byproducts. This breadth of commodity experience means every program benefits from decades of applied knowledge across diverse mineralogy’s, reagent chemistries, and process configurations — whether the project involves a well-understood ore type or a complex polymetallic or unconventional feed.
