Hi,

I am currently producing gold concentrates.

I'd like to be able to classify them so I can sell them in the close future.

A few weeks ago I was able to buy an "iCE 3300 AA Spectrometer" (Thermo Scientific), which is now installed and ready to operate.

Could you please provide me with a fool-proof instruction manual so I can prepare the samples and analyze the data from the AA machine?

Kindest Regards,

Jeffrey B.

Hi Jamie,

What is the grade of concentrated, and what other base metals are present?

Do you have fore assay capabilities?

Regards

Ben.

Hi Jeffrey,

the preferred method would be fire assay, but as you set up your lab with AA spectrometer you could try acid digestion, I attach a file with one of the procedures
