Our Equipment
State-of-the-art Equipment
Corem has the necessary equipment to carry out tasks ranging from simple sieving to comprehensive pilot-scale testing of a complete mineral processing operation at a semi-industrial level.
Corem’s efficient facilities and equipment allow the processing of samples ranging from a few grams to several hundred tons, whether they are drill cores or roughly crushed rock.
