OREAS 163b

OREAS 163b was prepared from material from the CSA mine located near the town of Cobar in central western New South Wales, Australia. The copper ore body is hosted by the Early Devonian CSA Siltstone, a thinly bedded turbiditic sequence of carbonaceous siltstones and mudstones with minor coarser units. The CSA Siltstone is part of the Cobar Supergroup, consisting of lower syn-rift sediments and upper post-rift sag phase sediments. The mineralisation is structurally controlled and confined to a number of steeply dipping bodies within a major shear zone on the eastern margin of the Early Devonian Cobar Basin. It is characterised by low-grade greenschist alteration and epigenetic low-grade mineralisation enveloping higher-grade shoots of vein complexes or sub-massive to massive sulphides. The sulphides include chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, bornite and cubanite. Iron-rich chlorite and silica are prominent alterations in the siltstone host. The certification program includes:

  • 4-acid digestion with full suite elemental packages by ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish
  • Aqua regia digestion for full elemental suite by ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish
  • Lithium borate fusion whole rock analysis package by X-ray fluorescence finish
  • Thermogravimetry: Loss on Ignition (LOI) at 1000 °C
  • Lithium borate or sodium peroxide fusion with full suite elemental packages by ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish
  • C and S by infrared combustion furnace/CS analyser
