Quantitative D-SIMS analysis of sub-microscopic gold in sulphide minerals

Deliverables:

• Recommended 30 analyses per mineral. The study includes the following:
  • Classification of microscopic gold content (solid solution and colloidal-size) per morphological type
  • Simultaneous quantification of gold and arsenic content
  • Mapping of the gold and arsenic distribution within the mineral grains (optional)
  • Establishing a relationship (if any) between the gold and arsenic content and distribution
