Deportment of gold in discharge samples from AC-POX/CIL circuits – Surface Science Western at the University of Western Ontario

Deliverables:

Evaluation of refractory gold in residual (unoxidized) sulphides using quantitative D-SIMS analysis:
- Quantification of sub-microscopic gold content in sulphides of different morphological types
- Quantification of the arsenic content
- Mapping of the gold and arsenic distribution (optional)
Evaluation of gold trapped in primary FeO_x and oxidation products by D-SIMS:
- Quantification of sub-microscopic gold content in the iron oxides
- Quantification of the arsenic content
- Mapping of the gold and arsenic distribution (optional)
ToF-SIMS analysis of exposed gold with impermeable coatings: Hg, Ag, Cu, phosphates, arsenides, carbonates, et cetera.
