GeoAssay Mineral Laboratory located in Cikarang has been setup to provide

industry standard sample preparation and analysis for geological and mining
samples ie. rocks, soils, drill core, mineral concentrates and industrial minerals

Sample Preparation

The laboratory is provisioned with the necessary equipment to provide

analytical services as follows:
SAMPLE PREPARATION
The purpose of sample preparation is to produce a homogeneous analytical subsample that is
fully representative of the material submitted to the laboratory.
The laboratory through the use of a variety of preparation equipment is able to provide a
preparation scheme to suit any clients requirements.
Sample types : soils, rocks, drill core, mineral concentrates, industrial minerals
Special sample preparation techniques such as Loss on Ignition is standard for all XRF Fusion
testwork
40 Ton sample press is employed for XRF pressed powder sample preparation

Dissolution - Fusion / Digest

PRESCIOUS METAL DETERMINATIONS

The fire assay procedure is the industry standard for laboratories. The sample is fused with a
suitable flux containing lead oxide and silver in a fusion furnace at approximately 1100c. The
lead oxide is reduced to lead which collects the precious metals.
The slag is removed and the lead button are cupelled to remove the lead and concentrate the
precious metals. The resultant prill is digested in aqua regia, made up to volume and read for
Au, Pt and Pd by AAS / ICP

BASE METAL DIGESTS/FUSIONS

For the geochemical analysis of geological samples the Laboratory offers standard digest
methods for determination of gold and base metals.
Digests methods range from acid soluble digests using aqua regia to near total acid digests
that are suitable for ore grade determinations.
Elements from digests are determined by AAS or ICPOES

XRF FUSIONS
For XRF Fusions samples are fused in a high temperature fusion furnace in platinum crucibles
using special fusion flux.
The fused beads from the fusions are analysed by XRF

Instrumental - AAS / ICPOES / XRF

ICPOES INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROMETER

ICPOES is a fast multielement technique with a dynamic linear range and moderatelow
detection limits (~0.2100 ppb)
Applicable to a wide range of elements from trace to ore grade digests and fusion schemes

AAS Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer

Atomic absorption Spectroscopy is a common and wellestablished technique for detecting
metals and metalloids
Applicable to range of analysis of trace elements. Ore grade determinations by dilution.

XRAY FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETRY

Base metal low level pressed powder
Semiquantitative scans up to 72 elements
Mineral Concentrate Packages iron, manganese, chrome, tin, mineral sands.
Industrial Minerals Packages Nickel, bauxite, limestone, cement products

MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES
Acid Mine Drainage
Gold Bullion Superintending
Titration Methods

Classical ore grade element determinations

Galvanizing Solutions

Preparation

GeoAssay Mineral Sands Laboratory located in Cikarang has been setup to provide
industry standard sample preparation, analysis and mineral identification for mineral
sands exploration projects
The laboratory is provisioned with the necessary equipment to provide mineral sands
services as follows:

SAMPLE PREPARATION
Weighing
Drying
Volume Measurements
Screening
Slime Removal
Pulp Preparation

Heavy mineral sands are a class of ore

deposit which is an important source of
zirconium, titanium, thorium, tungsten,
rare earth elements, magnetite, the
industrial minerals diamond, sapphire,
garnet, and occasionally precious
metals or gemstones.

Separation

WILFLEY SHAKING TABLE

Water and gravity separation of mineral sands samples over a shaking table to
obtain CON, MIDS and TAILS products.
MAGNETIC SEPARATION
Dried mineral sands products are passed through a roll magnet to separate the
magnetic minerals from nonmagnetic minerals .
