OREAS 602c

OREAS 602c was prepared from a blend of silver-copper-gold bearing ores from Evolution Mining’s Mount Carlton Operation in Queensland, Australia and argillic rhyodacite waste rock sourced from a quarry east of Melbourne, Australia. Small quantities of copper concentrate (Sepon, Laos) and copper-gold concentrate (Mount Carlton) were added to help achieve the desired copper and gold 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.

The following methods were employed:

  • Au by fire assay with ICP-OES finish;
  • Au by aqua regia digestion with ICP-MS finish;
  • Total S by infra-red combustion analysis;
  • Full elemental suite by 4-Acid digestion with ICP-OES/MS finish, over range Cu by ore-grade digestion;
  • Full elemental suite by aqua regia digestion with ICP-OES/MS finish, over range Cu by ore-grade digestion;
  • Au by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) on 20 x 85 mg subsamples to confirm homogeneity (ANSTO, Lucas Heights).

Indicative values for Sulphate Sulphur and Sulphide Sulphur (among others) are also available.
