Clarification request(s) and response

Laerte da Silva (asker): 10:02pm Jan 4, 2005: It is more in a context like early days of Serra Pelada with shacks, and not a proper laboratory. It´s like the local gold buyer.
António Ribeiro: 10:49pm Jan 17, 2005: Sala de ensaios é o significado de laboratório (em três palavras em vez de uma!!!) e não me parece nada "like early days of Serra Pelada with shacks"!!!! -

sala de ensaios/testes

Explanation:
:) Mais adequado à Serra Pelada

laboratório (de análises)

Explanation:
Eu diria simplesmente laboratório.

Assay = (Substantivo) ensaio (de metais)

Assay = (Verbo) ensaiar, analisar (metais, minerais)

Nesse caso, será qualquer coisa como \"barraca (sala) de análises\". Contudo, para não ir para esse campo, poderá optar por \"laboratório rudimentar\" ou \"laboratório de campo\".
