OREAS 247

SKU: 247

OREAS 247 was prepared from a blend of high grade gold-bearing ore and barren
metasediments. The gold ore was sourced from the central Victorian goldfields
and is hosted within a metamorphosed turbidite sequence of interbedded
sandstones, siltstones and shales. Gold mineralisation mainly occurs within
disseminated arsenopyrite and pyrite ± stibnite-quartz zones.
Thirty-five commercial analytical laboratories participated in the program to
certify:

Gold by fire assay;
Gold by x-ray PhotonAssay with recommended gross mass 380-410 g (12
Chrysos PhotonAssay units at 7 laboratories with two rounds of data reported
from each unit);
Full ICP-OES and ICP-MS elemental suites by 4-acid
digestion.
