Specialists from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan exchanged experience in mineral resource research

As part of international cooperation, specialists from the Eastern Research Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Non-Ferrous Metals (VNIITsvetmet) learned about the scientific and technical approaches of the Central Laboratory of JSC Uzbekgeologorazvedka and the Analytical Laboratory Complex in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

Particular attention was paid to testing of ores and their enrichment products, the participation of laboratories in proficiency testing programs, the application of modern methodological and technical solutions, and other topics.

Kazakhstani specialists shared their experience with their Uzbek colleagues in laboratory testing of mineral raw materials, the development and application of testing methods, the use of standard samples, and ensuring the reliability of results at the VNIITsvetmet Test Center. This exchange of experience is aimed at improving the quality of laboratory work, ensuring the accuracy of analytical control, and the productivity of research in various industries.

"For a modern laboratory, it is important not only to have equipment and experience but also to constantly benchmark its approaches against best international practices. It is precisely this kind of professional exchange that enables us to identify new technological solutions, improve internal processes, and strengthen our quality management system," noted Larisa Kushakova, Deputy Director for Applied Research and Testing at the VNIITsvetmet branch of RSE "NC CPMRM RK".

The VNIITsvetmet Testing Center is an accredited laboratory facility whose team of specialists works to improve and implement testing methods in the fields of geology, mining, and metallurgy. Here, standard samples are created and certified. These samples are used to ensure the quality control of raw materials and industrial products, verify the accuracy of analytical results, calibrate equipment, and perform metrological certification of methods used at enterprises in Kazakhstan and neighboring countries.
