Two assaying companies, Barringer Laboratories and Accurassay Laboratories, have merged their services to create one continent-wide organization. Barringer has several labs in mining centres across North America, while Accurassay maintains services in northern Ontario. “The amalgamation was inevitable,” says George Duncan, who founded Accurassay in 1982. “We’ve always had an excellent working relationship with Barringer ever since they purchased a 40% equity interest in Accurassay in 1986.”
According to Duncan, the merger will mean better services at lower prices. The new company is offering yearly assay contracts that will allow clients to pay on an annual- volume rather than per-project basis. As a result of the amalgamation, companies will be able to include all their projects, no matter where they are located, in one annual estimate.
Under the terms of the agreement, Accurassay will retain its name and Duncan will continue as Accurassay’s operator.
