OREAS 314

OREAS 314 is a replacement of the OREAS 137. It was prepared from a blend of barren and ore grade zinc-lead-silver materials sourced from Mount Isa (Glencore) George Fisher mine, Mt Isa, NW Queensland, Australia. The mineralisation style is sediment-hosted ‘SEDEX’ Zn-Pb-Ag within the Urquart Shale Formation of the Mount Isa Group. This Group is a 5 km thick sequence, composed predominantly of Mesoproterozoic carbonate siltstones, mudstones and shales, metamorphosed to greenschist facies. The Zn-Pb-Ag orebodies are concordant with carbonaceous dolomitic sediments and comprised of sphalerite and galena with pyrite and pyrrhotite. The following methods were undertaken:

  • 4-acid (HNO3-HF-HClO4-HCl) digestion with full suite ICP-OES and ICP-MS elemental packages
  • Aqua regia digestion for full elemental suite ICP-OES and ICP-MS
  • Lithium borate fusion whole rock analysis package by X-ray fluorescence
  • Thermogravimetry: Loss on Ignition (LOI) at 1000 °C
  • Lithium borate or sodium peroxide fusion with full suite ICP-OES and ICP-MS elemental packages
  • C and S by infrared combustion furnace/CS analyser
