OREAS 166
SKU: 166
OREAS 166 is a high grade copper ore certified reference material (CRM)
prepared and certified by Ore Research & Exploration Pth Ltd. The material
was sourced from Xstrata’s Mt Isa copper ore deposits located near the township
of Mt Isa in north-west Queensland. The ore deposits are hosted by brecciated
siliceous and dolomitic rock masses within the Urquhart Shale comprising complex
and dissociated veins with chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite with grades of
3-4% copper. OREAS 166 is one of a suite of seven CRMs characterised for Cu, Fe,
S, CaO, MgO, Al2O3, SiO2, Ag, Pb, Zn and Co by both sodium peroxide fusion ICP
and 4-acid ICP methods.
