November tech talk: Innovations in commercial gold and other precious metals analysis - A lead-free approach to fire assay

Join the Perth Branch for their November tech talk: Innovations in commercial gold and other precious metals analysis - A lead-free approach to fire assay.

About this event

 Fire Assay is still today the most cost-effective and accepted method for assaying “total” gold and other precious metals. However, CSR and ESG responsibilities have become a high priority, with a focus on the entire value chain.

In this talk, we will discuss a lead free approach that maintains the same trusted principles of traditional Fire Assay with added HSE and analytical benefits.  

Join us to find out more!

Please note this event is in-person only and will not be livestreamed.
