GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSES

Geochemical analyses are carried out only on samples obtained in mineral exploration for geochemical purposes. The solubility of the elements in the methods used may vary depending on the matrix. Geochemical analyses cannot be performed for the samples that are to be used for analytical purposes that require total digestion.

(a) The samples which have analysis results above 3 ppm, should be analysed by using cupellation method. The cost for the cupellation method must be paid additionally.

(b) Aqua Regia Digestion, Digestion in 3:1 concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) + concentrated nitric acid (HNO3).

(c) Elements can be partially dissolved depending on the matrix.
