OREAS 607c

OREAS 607c was prepared from a blend of gold-copper-silver ores from Evolution Mining’s Mount Carlton Operation in Queensland, Australia and barren argillic rhyodacite sourced from a quarry east of Melbourne, Australia. A minor quantity of Cu-Au-Ag concentrate was also added to help achieve target grades. The mineralisation assemblage at Mount Carlton consists of pyrite, enargite/tennantite, tetrahedrite, digenite, covellite, sphalerite, galena, alunite, dickite, kaolinite and vuggy silica, hosted in advanced argillic altered rhyodacite containing sulphur-salts. Twenty-eight commercial analytical laboratories participated in the program to certify the following:

  • Gold by fire assay using a 25-50 g charge weight with AAS (12 laboratories), ICP-OES (10 laboratories) or ICP-MS (1 laboratory) finish;
  • Gold by aqua regia digestion using a 10-50 g sample mass with ICP-OES/MS (15 laboratories) or AAS (5 laboratories) finish;
  • Full ICP-OES and MS elemental suites by 4-acid digestion (up to 26 laboratories depending on the element);
  • Full ICP-OES and MS elemental suites by aqua regia digestion (up to 26 laboratories depending on the element).

To evaluate homogeneity, instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) of Au on 20 x 1 g subsamples was undertaken at Actlabs Ancaster in Canada.
