X&M Announces a new Partnership with OREAS
X&M Group is proud to announce a new strategic partnership that will involve stocking and distribution of the finest and most homogeneous QA/QC rock samples available on the market for exploration and mining from OREAS® in West Africa.
The new project Standards CRM Africa will be entirely facilitated by the X&M Group of companies including X&M Suppliers Ltd and Procurpro in direct collaboration with OREAS® Australia.
Through this project, Standards CRM Africa officially becomes the first official distributor of OREAS® Certified Reference Materials in West Africa.

Certified Reference Materials are crucial in the Quality Assurance and Quality Control processes of all mining and exploration companies. Apart from being a regulatory requirement, they enable companies to improve their confidence in ore reserves, drill target selection, equipment calibration, and overall performance.
Although no analytical method is entirely error-free, there is an acceptable margin of error, and this is where the use of high-quality CRMs is necessary. The OREAS® range of certified reference materials is sourced from natural ores and subjected to rigorous laboratory testing, ensuring the highest level of accuracy possible.
