Raising standards since 1988.
The story began in 1988 when Dr Paul Hamlyn established ORE Pty Ltd (now known as OREAS) in Melbourne, Australia. From humble beginnings working from a single car garage and mixing rock samples in a domestic cement mixer, the OREAS brand is now recognised as the world leader in certified reference materials for the global mining and exploration industries. Our advanced production facility, intelligent software, world class distribution network and thirty years of refining processes have kept us at the forefront of CRM technology.
Our products have helped thousands of geologists, chemists and metallurgists increase their accuracy and efficiency with uncompromised control in geological data.
We are a team of talented hardworking individuals with many long-standing staff members ranging from geologists, chemists, IT specialists, technical and admin personnel. Collectively, we understand what it takes to produce world-class CRMs that are reliable for mining professionals to perform their best in any given context. Our customer service, meticulous preparation and ISO certification practices are the reason we proudly maintain an extensive list of over 2200 clients worldwide.
We recognise that our environment, technologies and the global mining industry will continue to evolve and how we adapt to change is crucial to the long-term resilience and viability of our business. With a long history of innovation and many industry firsts, we pledge to stay dynamic, work hard and equip our clients with the tools they need, when and where they need them.
