About us

Based in the UK, Geochemic is a specialised laboratory providing expert environmental geochemistry testing, focusing on Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) and metals leaching potential for the mining industry together with application of these specialist techniques, and knowledge to the wider geoenvironmental community.

We offer bespoke commercial and R&D services, including sample preparation, static and kinetic testing, and advanced environmental simulation testing.

Working from our laboratory based in the historic UNESCO industrial landscape of Blaenavon, within the South Wales coal field, we work with geo-environmental consultancies, mining operators and developers, laboratories, universities and research institutes, to deliver tailored analytical services to meet the needs to today’s environmental regulatory environment.

Our strategy is:

  1. To work with our clients needs to deliver data that answers their specific questions, allowing method modifications and new and innovative techniques where these are appropriate.
  2. We work with the best sub-contractor laboratories to deliver the best possible analysis from accredited services.
  3. We bridge the gap between research focussed academic laboratories and strictly controlled commercial expert analytical laboratories.
  4. To allow flexibility, whilst delivering analytical data to accredited standard through the use of world leading analytical sub-contractors.
  5. To facilitate the operation of bespoke long term leaching tests, and both standard and non-standard geochemical techniques with flexibility that can only be achieved in a modern R&D facility.
  6. Continuous improvement and innovation.
  7. Client focus, we work with your needs and assist you where we can.
  8. Confidentiality, we understand the industry and the strict confidentiality that is required, so we work within these frameworks.
