OREAS 285

OREAS 285 is one of a suite of six gold ore CRMs (OREAS 284 to OREAS 289) prepared from a blend of ores and barren granodiorite. The ores were sourced from the Loulo-Gounkoto Complex in Western Mali. The certification program includes:

  • Au by 25-40g fire assay with ICP-OES or AAS finish;
  • Gold by Chrysos’ PhotonAssay™ (protocol PAAU02) with recommended gross mass 330±15 g (15 laboratories);
  • Au by aqua regia digestion (10-50g sample weight) with AAS or ICP finish;
  • Au by cyanide leach (5-200g sample weight) with ICP or AAS finish;
  • Full elemental suites by 4-acid (HCl-HNO3-HF-HClO4) digestion with ICP-OES and MS finish, including over range analytes by ore-grade 4A digestion;
  • Full elemental suites by aqua regia digestion with ICP-OES and MS analysis, including over range analytes by ore-grade AR digestion;
  • Total S by IR combustion furnace (Leco).
