Assaying

Precision. Integrity. Trust.

At Prime Path Transportation & Logistics, we understand that trust in the value and purity of gold is essential in every transaction — whether you’re a miner, trader, refiner, or investor. That’s why we offer professional Gold Assaying Services rooted in accuracy, transparency, and industry best practices.

What is Gold Assaying?

Gold assaying is the process of determining the purity and composition of gold, ensuring that the metal meets declared or expected standards. This procedure is critical in the gold trade, as it verifies the actual gold content and identifies other alloyed metals.

Our assaying service is a key pillar in the gold supply chain — protecting both buyers and sellers by providing reliable data to support confident decisions.

Our Assaying Capabilities

We utilize industry-approved methods to deliver precise and verifiable results:

  • Fire Assay (Cupellation)
    The most accurate method for determining gold content, fire assay is our gold standard. This time-tested process measures gold concentration with minimal margin of error and is suitable for high-value validation.

  • X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometry
    For rapid and non-destructive analysis, our XRF technology delivers immediate insights into gold purity and alloy composition. Ideal for quick checks, spot verification, and surface-level testing.

Each sample is handled with care and discretion, ensuring that results are both confidential and professionally documented.

Our Assaying Process

  1. Sample Collection & Registration
    All samples are logged with a unique ID and tracked throughout the process.

  2. Preliminary Inspection
    Visual and XRF analysis may be performed for initial insights.

  3. Laboratory Analysis
    Chosen assay method(s) are applied based on the nature and quantity of the gold sample.

  4. Reporting
    A detailed assay certificate is issued, including gold purity, composition percentages, and analysis methodology.

  5. Secure Handling
    Samples and results are handled under strict confidentiality and security protocols.
