OREAS 21f has been prepared from quartz sand to which 0.5% iron oxide has
been added to produce a pinkish-tan coloured pulp. This colouring gives the
material an appearance of oxide origin (i.e., light orange-brown clay or light
iron ore colour). It is characterised by extremely low background gold of less
than 1 part per billion.
Ten commercial analytical laboratories participated
in the program to characterise the elements reported below. The following
methods were employed:
