Gold & precious metal

INTRODUCTION

Depending on geological context and type of exploration, several methods and options are available. Using large capacity furnaces, more than 1200 samples per day can be analyzed by Fire Assay. Instrumental techniques used are able to measure grade levels at several percent (ultra-microbalance) and ultra-traces at less than 1 ppb as well (ICP-MS)
