Description
This contract was awarded to:
Australian National University

The Department of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has a requirement to conduct a study of critical minerals within rocks. The work will involve geochemistry, including the determination of platinum group element concentrations that occur within chemically resistive and heterogeneously distributed mineral phases. Performance standards must include the ability to digest large sample sizes (up to 30 g), ultra-low detection limits for all platinum group elements of interest (Ir = 1 ppt; Ru = 2 ppt; Rh = 2 ppt; Pt = 20 ppt; Pd = 10 ppt; Re = 10 ppt), and the preferred isotope dilution (ID) nickel-sulphide fire assay (NiS-FA) method. Results will be delivered as electronic tables.
