GOLD IN PROCESS SOLUTIONS CODE

Screen Metallic gold analysis Analytical results can be difficult to reproduce using typical sample reduction and fire assay procedures when coarse grained metallic gold is present. To address this, the sample can be analyzed using the screened metallics sample preparation and assaying procedure. This consists of: • Screening 500g/1000g or client specified weight of the sample to a defined grain size, typically 75, 106 or 212 microns • Weighing the various fractions • Assaying the entire plus fraction • Analyzing the undersize (typically in duplicate) • Calculating and reporting of size-fraction weights, coarse and fine fraction gold content and total gold content • The finish technique may involve AAS, ICP-OES or gravimetric, depending upon concentration. Limits shown are based on instrument analysis. Gravimetric limits are higher, please contact us for more information Note: This technique requires a minimum sample of 500g. This technique can also be used for coarse grained native metals such as platinum, palladium, silver and copper.
