The Leachwell™ tab is a proprietary product and Leachwell™ is a patented process. Accelerated cyanide leach techniques are used to determine bulk leachable gold in exploration samples using modified cyanide leach (Leachwell™). The large sample is mixed with water and Leachwell™ tabs and tumbled. The gold is extracted into DIBK and analyzed. Other elements (Cu, Ag, Pb and Zn) are also partially extracted by the cyanide leach and can be measured on request.

Photon Assay Photon Assay is a non-destructive technology uses high-energy x-rays to hit samples of up to 500g, enabling rapid and enhanced analysis of gold, silver, copper and other elements. The technology is measurably safer, faster and more environmentally friendly than previous assay processes.

Note: *Additional elements are available on request Cyanide leach procedures are used to enhance small gold anomalies during exploration and to monitor gold extraction efficiencies in metallurgical applications. Bulk Leach Extractable Gold (BLEG) is a cyanide-based partial leach procedure that uses a large sample size (0.5 kg to 5 kg). It is used to enhance small gold anomalies during exploration. The cyanide leachate solution is extracted into an organic solvent and analyzed. Our active cyanide leach packages are available with a variety of sample sizes, detection limits and finishing methods. The mini

cyanide leach package is available for smaller sample sizes, allowing for faster TAT than active cyanide leach. Other elements are also partially extracted with the cyanide leach and can be measured on request.
