OREAS 111 is a medium grade Cu ore certified reference material (CRM) prepared from material sourced from the Tritton Copper Project near Nyngan, New South Wales. The deposit consists of sulphide ore bodies (massive pyrite and chalcopyrite breccias) underlying oxide ores. OREAS 111 has a pigeon pair with OREAS 111b which is ~4% higher in Cu grade. OREAS 111 is one of a suite of five CRMs and was prepared from massive pyrite ore material. All five CRMs have been characterised for Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Sb and Zn by 4-acid ICP and sodium peroxide fusion ICP methods.
