Mineral Quality Control and Assay Coordination
Quality determines price, and buyers need confidence in the numbers. Beldium coordinates sampling and testing with accredited third party laboratories and keeps the results attached to each lot. Beldium is not itself a laboratory.
How Quality Control Works on Beldium
Quality records are built step by step and linked to the lot's custody history.
Sampling
Samples are taken following documented procedures and recorded.
Chain-of-custody
Samples are tracked from collection to the laboratory.
Accredited lab coordination
Testing is carried out by accredited third party laboratories.
Assay result visibility
Results are shared with authorised parties on the record.
Timestamps
Every sampling and testing step is timestamped.
QC records
A complete quality history that supports buyer confidence.
Visual Inspection Versus Laboratory Testing
Field photographs and visual inspection help document a site and a lot, but they cannot confirm grade or composition. Only laboratory analysis of properly handled samples can do that, which is why Beldium separates field documentation from assay results in every record.

PartnershipsFrequently Asked Questions
Is Beldium an accredited laboratory?
No. Beldium coordinates sampling and testing with accredited third party laboratories and makes their results visible on the platform.
Why does sample chain-of-custody matter?
If a sample cannot be traced from collection to the lab, its results cannot be reliably linked to the lot. Custody records protect the integrity of assay results.
Can photos confirm mineral grade?
No. Photos and visual inspection provide context only. Grade and composition must be confirmed through laboratory analysis.
Who sees assay results?
Results are visible to authorised parties such as the miner and prospective or contracted buyers.
Which minerals can be tested?
Testing depends on the laboratory partner's accreditation scope. Beldium's current focus is lithium and related critical minerals.
