OREAS 999b

OREAS 999b is a spodumene concentrate product derived from the processing of lithium pegmatite ores sourced from the Eastern Goldfields Region of Western Australia. The Spodumene concentrate is primarily composed of spodumene (LiAlSi₂O₆), a lithium-bearing pyroxene. Minor gangue minerals include quartz, albite, muscovite, and mica group minerals.

Twenty-five commercial analytical laboratories participated in the program to certify the elements reported below:

  • Sodium peroxide/borate fusion with full suite ICP-OES or ICP-MS elemental packages
  • 4-acid (HNO3-HF-HClO4-HCl) digestion with full suite ICP-OES or ICP-MS elemental packages
  • Lithium borate fusion whole rock analysis package by X-ray fluorescence
  • Thermogravimetry: Loss on Ignition (LOI) at 1000 °C

Homogeneity was assessed using peroxide fusion with ICP-OES finish on 12 pulp samples (20 g each) from twelve sampling units. An ANOVA test was performed to compare within- and between-unit variances, providing a statistical measure of uniformity and confirming that all units belong to the same population.
