OREAS 990

OREAS 990 is a matrix-matched certified reference material (MMCRM) prepared from copper-gold-silver concentrate samples supplied by the Rosebery mine metallurgical plant owned and operated by MMG Ltd. The Rosebery mine and plant are located in the north-west region of Tasmania, Australia approximately 125 kilometres south of Burnie. The key minerals of economic importance include sphalerite, galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite and electrum.
