AFGHAN CHROMITE PORTFOLIO
Afghan Chromite Ore
Laboratory-documented chromite ore supported by two SGS Pakistan chemical assays and an independent EDX mineral-characterisation report from the University of Peshawar. The portfolio records Cr₂O₃ grades of 48.27% and 45.87%, with supporting EDX evidence showing 53.08% elemental chromium at the analysed measurement area.

Chromium-bearing ore
Chromite for the ferrochrome value chain
Commercial chromite evaluation begins with Cr₂O₃ grade. The two SGS reports provide direct chromium oxide results for the submitted chrome ore samples.
The CRL report uses Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy to characterise the elemental composition of a submitted powder sample. It supports the chromium-rich mineral profile but does not replace representative bulk Cr₂O₃ analysis.
Two SGS results reporting substantial chromium oxide content.
A maximum documented grade of 48.27% Cr₂O₃.
Supporting EDX evidence with 53.08% elemental chromium.
Scope for buyer-specific sampling, qualification and processing review.
