OREAS 262b

OREAS 262b was prepared from a blend of gold-bearing oxide ores (from Australia and Laos) and barren mudstone sourced from a quarry east of Melbourne, Australia. The main ore proportion was sourced from intrusion-related, low-grade gold-copper oxide ore from the southern Archaean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The lesser ore proportion consists of gold-copper oxide ore from the Sepon Mineral District. Gold mineralisation is often localised in structural and stratigraphic fluid traps similar in style to the sediment-hosted gold deposits of the Carlin Trend, Nevada, USA. Thirty-three commercial analytical laboratories participated in the program to certify:

  • Gold by fire assay;
  • Gold by 15-50g aqua regia digestion;
  • Gold by 5-200g cyanide leach;
  • Gold by PhotonAssay;
  • Full ICP-OES and ICP-MS elemental suites by 4-acid digestion;
  • Full ICP-OES and ICP-MS elemental suites by aqua regia digestion.
