How will this CRM add value to my results?
It gives you faith in all of the other numbers. This CRM is quite simply a ruler you can use to measure the performance of your laboratory and to check the results the lab is reporting in an auditable way. It’s far easier to fix a problem in the lab than to fix a mineral resource or a mining problem or a metallurgical process.
