Accurassay's industry-leading 10 Days Guaranteed program adds real value to your project by giving you fast, reliable mineral analysis at a competitive price. We have "put our money where our mouth is" when it comes to service and raised the bar! First offered in 2006, this program promises to get you your results within 10 Days or we will give you a 10% discount on the price of your analysis (see program details below). Reliably fast analysis or we give you a 10% credit! That's a win-win situation for our customer.

Our 10 Days Guaranteed Program

For customers on our 10 Days Guaranteed Program, Accurassay Laboratories Ltd. (Accurassay) will provide analytical results by the end of the 10th business day subsequent to the logging in of samples at any of our locations in Canada subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. This guarantee applies only to selected accredited methodologies as listed in the customer’s signed, numbered Service Agreement with Accurassay Laboratories.
2. The 10 day period of this guarantee will not commence until samples have been logged into our system. This requires meeting all of our required protocols for sample submission as outlined in our service agreement.
3. While Accurassay makes every effort to manage sample volumes and maintain the 10-day turnaround, we reserve the right to suspend this guarantee at any time. We assure our customers that this is a measure of last resort and would only be taken due to extreme circumstances.
4. Maximum daily volumes under this guarantee are limited to 500 samples.
5. Maximum weekly volumes are limited to 2,000 samples.
6. Samples received beyond the daily and weekly maximums are excluded from this guarantee.

Should Accurassay accept samples under the 10 Days Guaranteed program as specified here and then subsequently fail to provide results within the 10-day time frame, customers will receive a 10% discount on their contract price for the analyses subject to the 10 Days Guaranteed Program. All other analyses will continue to be invoiced at the contract price, or as otherwise agreed. This discount will be credited to the invoice when issued.


NOTE: This program is not applicable to all customers and will only be honoured if a signed Customer Agreement explicitly including these terms is in place . All other work received by Accurassay will, by default, not be performed under the terms of our 10 Days Guaranteed Program.


Precious Metals Analysis

Accurassay Laboratories is pleased to offer a high calibre analytical capability, with high sample capacity, reliable quality and fast turnaround service for these key precious metals: Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, Rh. All of our precious metals analyses are performed using our Fire Assay procedure combined with multiple finishes( AAS, ICP, and Gravimetric). These combinations allow for a wide spectrum of detection limits (from 1ppb to 1%) and raw sample concentrations.

Gold


http://www.accurassay.com/analysis/content.php?id=9

Historically, the analysis of gold has been performed using a 30g sub-sample during the fire assay procedure. A 50g sub-sample can also be used to help increase the sensitivity of gold detection while decreasing the sampling error. However, high levels of base metals, chromium, selenides and tellurides can reduce the effectiveness of the gold collection. Accurassay Laboratories may decrease the subsample size during fusion to overcome these effects.

For a more comprehensive analysis of gold in rock/core, we would recommend the Pulp Metallic procedure. This procedure is able to overcome the “Nugget Effect” of gold by increasing the sub-sample size to 1,000g and physically collecting the free gold within the system using a 150 mesh (106µ) sieve. This procedure is most effective when the whole sample is used for the analysis. The sub-sample is pulverized to ~90% -150 mesh (106µ) and subsequently sieved through a 150-mesh (106µ) screen. The entire +150 metallics portion is assayed along with two duplicate sub-samples of the -150 pulp portion. Results are reported as a weighted average of gold in the entire sample.

For the analysis of gold in soils, sediments, and tills we recommend using a 50g sub-sample for the fire assay procedure with an ICP finish with the lower detection limit of 2ppb.

For a more comprehensive analysis of both the gold content of the sample and the particulate size of the gold within the material, we recommend a Screen Metallic analysis. Screen Metallics analysis includes the crushing of the entire sample to 90%-10 mesh and using a Jones Riffler (unbiased splitter) to split the sample to a 1kg sub-sample. The entire sub-sample is pulverized and subsequently sieved through a series of meshes (80, 150, 200, 230, 400 mesh). Each fraction is then assayed for Gold (maximum 50g.). Results are reported as a calculated weighted average of Gold in the entire sample.
