Tadoro Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Curious as to the meaning of some Atomic Absorption Analysis assay results I am looking at, any help would be appreciated. Specifically the last line "AuSw" appears for these samples only, none of the other samples have an AuSw line. Some of the other sample results came back with higher ppms for AU but no AuSw line? These are from quartz vein grab samples containing copper and iron oxide. Sample from AA Assay.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I have never seen this before. I would call the assayer and have them explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Sample Weight? Just a guess, like the weight of the ore sample they are atomizing for the flame? I don't know much about AAS though. Doesn't it use some kind of sample of whatever element you want to analyze for too? Like if you want to look for gold lines don't you need a sample of gold to start with? Could be that too? I have an analytic chemist friend who I can ask next time I see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadoro Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hi Jason, thanks for the reply. Old assays and sayer is long closed. Am going to check with a local one next time I am in town. Thanks for the thoughts all the same. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
