SGS MINERALS SERVICES T3 SGS 218 09-2013 ANALYTICAL SERVICESFire assaying is the industry standard process for obtaining analytical gold and platinum group element (PGE) data from high grade ores. It is a modernized process but in its simplest form, has been in use for centuries. Fire assaying is used in the determination of gold in all sample types, including drill core, soil and chip samples. THE PROCESSFUSIONThe pulverized sample is weighed and mixed with a fluxing agent. The flux assists in melting, helps fuse the sample at a reasonable temperature and promotes separation of the gangue material from the precious metals.
