OREAS 615

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:

  • Gold via 25-50g fire assay with AAS or ICP-OES finish
  • Silver via 25-50g fire assay with Gravimetric finish
  • Gold via 10-40g aqua regia digestion with ICP-MS finish or AAS finish
  • Sulphur by infra-red combustion analysis
  • 4-Acid digestion for full elemental suite ICP-OES/MS finish
  • Aqua regia digestion for full elemental suite ICP-OES finish or AAS finish

Certified values for applicable analytes are operationally defined for each method, with results under OREAS ISO 17034 scope of accreditation.

Note: Analyte values are indicative only and may change when certified.
