Quantities Analysed:
<0.063 mm and <1.7 mm heavy mineral fraction by INAA for 35 elements and ICP-ES after aqua regia digestion for 32 elements.
Geochem Maps Available:
None.
Other Analyses:
Heavy mineral concentrate for gold grain counts; pebble lithologies; carbonate (<0.063 mm (Chittick)); grain size.
