Company History

In late 2008 we moved our office to the United States and have furthered our work with clients in the USA, Brazil, Peru and the Caribbean. Since 2010 we have operated as an associate of Blue Coast Research Ltd. of British Columbia, Canada.

In September, 2013, Melanie Bond became licensed as a Professional Engineer in the State of South Dakota, and Cromes Metallurgical Consulting, PLLC became a certified professional firm in the State of South Dakota.  In early 2017, we changed our company name to Bond Minerals Services and Engineering, PLLC.

In 2021 we started construction of a sample preparation facility addition to our offices, which opened in late 2021.  This facility has the use of two jaw crushers, a cone crusher, various Jones riffles and a pulverizer.
