Quality and Assay

    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.

    Frequently 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.
