Hello to all.
Here is a current listing of the services I can provide, and my fees for each.
Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome, and appreciated.
Sincerely; Rick. "The Rock Man".
Geo.-Tech. Analytical services and fees
Fire Assays:
Oxide and Sulfide Ores, Bullion, Precipitates, Recovery Resins, Pregnant Solutions & Scrap of all types ___$75.00
Aqua-Regia Pre-Treatment _$25.00
(This method will recover more Gold in the Assay,
but AR may be the only way such values can be obtained in a production setting).
The sample is leached with Aqua Regia until all action has ceased,
then 2 grams of Zinc is added to the solution, let react, then stirred to bring every bit of the material in contact with Zinc bearing solution so that all metals are cemented out as recoverable micron values.
The Solution is then evaporated away to leave a dry material with cemented values that is then Fluxed and Fired as an Oxide Ore.
Ore/Leach Amenability Tests for T6 and CLS. _ $125.00 per sample, per leach formula.
A preliminary fire assay of each sample to be leached is required to establish recoverable values. _ $75.00
29.16 grams of ore is leached with 50 ml of T6 or CLS for 18 hours at 40 to 60 degrees F, the leach solution filtered, and then 2 grams of zinc is added to the filtered solution to cement values. The cemented metals are recovered and assayed to determine values recovered against an assay of the Ore to be leached, as well as efficiency of the leach if compared to the other formulas.
Refining:
Ores, Bullion, & Precipitates_____1/3 of Recovery.
Fire Assay required to determine the amount of recoverable Bullion in the material to be refined.
Qualitative Analysis: 28 Element ___$1.10 An Element / Or $30.00 For all.
Gold Platinum palladium Rhodium Iridium Ruthenium Silver Cobalt Molybdenum Bismuth Tin Lead Zinc Copper Nickel Vanadium Titanium Tungsten Niobium Tantalum Chromium Beryllium Antimony Tellurium Phosphorus Manganese Calcium Iron.
The above tests are reaction positive for each element.
Fused Flux Bead Testing:___$0.50 An Element / Or $5.00 For All.
Chromium Copper Nickel Manganese Uranium Vanadium Molybdenum Titanium Cobalt Tungsten Iron
When a small amount of ore is fused with flux, it imparts specific colors to the bead, hot and cold, providing a positive identification for the elements listed above.
Flame Testing:___$0.25 An Element / Or $4.00 For All.
Sodium Calcium Copper Barium Strontium Lithium Potassium Phosphorus Boron Molybdenum Zinc Antimony Bismuth Lead Tellurium Arsenic Selenium
When finely ground ore is burned in an alcohol lamp flame on a platinum wire moistened with water or hydrochloric acid, it imparts specific colors to the flame positively identifying the above elements.
Other Services:
Scrap Gold Refining:_____10Kt. & UP.__1/3 of Recovery.
Recovery of Gold From Plated Items:___1/2 of Recovery.
Mineral Market Consulting:____10% of the Gross Sale of each Ton of Ore Sold.
All services cash or Money Order only.
