OREAS 614 is a certified reference material produced from a rhyodacite host blended with Bowdens Ag–Pb–Zn ore, a silver concentrate, and Cu–Au concentrates from DeGrussa and Mt Carlton.
The matrix replicates a felsic volcanic host carrying epithermal Ag–Au mineralisation with added Cu-sulfide tenor, making OREAS 614 well-suited for calibration and routine QA/QC of multi-element geochemical methods (fire assay for Au/Ag; multi-acid digestion ICP-OES/MS for base metals; S/As/Pb/Zn pathfinders) in exploration and metallurgical workflows.
OREAS 614 has been characterized using the following methods:
Certified values for applicable analytes are operationally defined for each method, with results under OREAS ISO 17034 scope of accreditation.
