OREAS 680b
Ni–Cu–PGE Ore
OREAS 680b was prepared from a blend of PGE ores, high-grade nickel and copper ores, and barren gabbronorite. The principal PGE ore component was sourced from the Dishaba Mine within the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, while the primary nickel sulphide ore was sourced from the Cosmos Mine in Western Australia. The barren gabbronorite diluent was sourced from Black Hill Quarry, South Australia. Minor additions of UG2 Reef material and copper concentrate were incorporated to achieve the targeted PGE and Cu concentrations, respectively. OREAS 680b has been characterized using the following methods:
- Full ICP-OES and ICP-MS elemental suites by 4-acid (HNO3-HF-HClO4-HCl) digestion
- Sodium peroxide fusion or lithium borate fusion with full ICP-OES and ICP-MS suites
- Au, Pt and Pd by lead collection fire assay with ICP-OES and ICP-MS
- Au, Pt, Pd, Ir, Rh and Ru by nickel sulphide (NiS) collection fire assay with ICP-OES and ICP-MS
Certified values for applicable analytes are operationally defined for each method, with results under OREAS ISO 17034 scope of accreditation.
