About Us

Petrolab is an independent petrographic consultancy, established in 1991, that specialises in microscopical investigations of natural and man-made inorganic materials.

Our mission is to provide a holistic approach to mineralogical investigations, using complementary techniques, to enhance the quality and reliability of the data.

Petrolab have been operating for over 17 years and have analysed the content of vast quantities of rocks, minerals, ores, aggregates and concrete from all over the world. Petrolab was incorporated as a limited company in 2003.

The company offices and microscopy facilities were relocated to larger premises in January 2009. Petrolab now occupies a part of what was originally the Redruth Miners' Hospital building, opened in 1864, in the heart of the world famous Cornish mining district.

We have close links with the high concentration of local companies offering world class expertise in the mining and minerals processing industries.
