A team of professionals with over 100 years of combined analytical-chemistry experience.
The staff at FAS is a team of professionals with varied technical abilities, especially adapted to projects requiring a complete range of laboratory services. Their backgrounds consist of over 100 years of analytical-chemistry experience in the mining and chemical-processing industries.
Daniel W. Kappes is a mining and metallurgical engineer and has been associated with the company since 1972. Dan is a recognized authority on precious-metals heap leaching and has presented several technical papers on the subject. In addition to work on numerous small projects, he has directed laboratory and field testing on several projects that have subsequently become major precious-metal mines.
Terence E. Albert has over 35 years of experience in all facets of metallurgical and chemical testing laboratories. He manages all aspects of the metallurgical and analytical facility, schedules and executes research and contract-testing projects, and oversees the issuance of completed reports and data. He has directed the design and setup of more than five commercial assay facilities in the United States and South America — including training personnel in sample preparation, metallurgical testing, and wet-chemical and fire-assay procedures.
