OREAS 615 is a certified reference material prepared from a blend dominated by silver concentrate and copper-sulfide concentrates from DeGrussa and Mt Carlton, with Ag–Pb–Zn ore from Bowdens and a minor rhyodacite diluent.
Designed for calibration and routine QA/QC of multi-element geochemical methods (e.g., FA for Au/Ag; multi-acid digestion ICP-OES/MS for base metals; S/As/Pb/Zn pathfinders), OREAS 615 replicates the behaviour of concentrate-rich polymetallic sulfide materials encountered in exploration, plant QA/QC and metallurgical programs.
OREAS 615 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.
