OREAS 99b
OREAS 99b is a copper-silver concentrate certified reference material
(CRM) prepared and certified by Ore Research & Exploration for copper,
silver, iron, sulphur, bismuth, cobalt, lead, antimony, selenium, tin and zinc.
The material used to prepare OREAS 99b was sourced from the CSA mine in Cobar,
New South Wales. Ten commercial laboratories participated in the analytical
program to characterise copper, silver, iron, sulphur, bismuth, cobalt, lead,
antimony, selenium, tin and zinc in OREAS 99b. Ten umpire laboratories also
determined copper and silver by ‘classical’ methods.
