World Leaders in CRM Production

OREAS is the only CRM producer that guarantees the homogeneity of all our gold ore CRMs. Through high precision testing using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), we can confirm and quantify the absolute level of homogeneity, regardless of the presence of coarse gold in the source materials.

Our SuperCRMs offer a comprehensive range of elemental suite certification for at least two different analytical methodologies, including full package ICP-OES and ICP-MS. With up to 180 analytes in a single SuperCRM, they serve as valuable controls for alteration mapping, pathfinder elements, and various other ICP applications.

Our OREAS gold ore CRMs contain separate gold certification for numerous analytical methodologies including fire assay, aqua regia digestion, cyanide leach, and PhotonAssay.

To streamline assay monitoring and data handling, each OREAS® CRM is supplied with a downloadable Certificate of Analysis and DataPack. These comprehensive resources provide users with complete transparency of the preparation and characterisation process.

Our extensive distribution channels make our products easily accessible, whenever and wherever they are needed. Our global partnerships have enabled us to strategically stock product in virtually every continent, with distributors in Australia, North America, West Africa, Germany, Mongolia, Peru, Turkiye and Mexico.
