Mineralisation:
OREAS 250c was prepared from a blend of gold-bearing oxide ores and barren materials (basaltic scoria, quartz and mudstone). The ores were sourced from both the Magdala ore deposit (Stawell Gold Mine) located in west-central Victoria, Australia and the Wilber Lode (Andy Well Mine) located approximately 45km north of Meekatharra in the Murchison region of Western Australia. Primary mineralisation in the Magdala ore consists of a quartz-sericite-carbonate schist assemblage containing the sulphides arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. The Wilber Lode contains a common primary mineral assemblage of quartz, calcite, chlorite, fuchsite, pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and gold. Thirty-three commercial analytical laboratories participated in the program to certify:
