I'm from Hong Kong and now working in a small lab (alone) in China learning how to assay and process ores. I graduated with a degree in Information Engineering (basically means database) about 4 years ago, after then I had been working in the Interior Design field. Thus, the last time I learned Chemistry (until I came China) was high-school. I've been this field for not more than 4 months so I lack experience. I have learnt how to make use of the XRF-unit in September and October. Recently I'm spending more time on ore-processing (mainly cyanidation).
Right now I have two ore-sources from two mining-sites, both in Myanmar. Below is one of the two Myanmar mine ores I'm working on, I call this Gold-Platinum ore. I've been studying this ore for about a week or two. I'd like to share some of my thoughts, and gather more thoughts from fellow experts on this forum.
Matrix Concentrations:
(Grinded powder sample, XRF analysis)
Precious metal Concentrations:
(ICP analysis and Fire-assay analysis)
Appearance:

(through 100x-scope)
