Dud, the veins at White Signal where Charles is digging around are also Au-Bi-Cu, in fact originally mined for gold. Locally Ag and Pb, too.

Charles,

It is a Si-Pin. You¡¯ll note the 4 pt cal is very linear with deviations of 0, -0.15, 0.03 and 0.16 and the same when ?using a quadratic fit. Geo reran the cal and only shifted the 5.6 from 202 to 198 which didn¡¯t change anything. The problem is the mineral is supposedly a very simple Fe, U phosphate. The Fe 6.4 line is located on the left shoulder of the strong peak located at 6.63. The U, although noisy, falls pretty much where it belongs. So what is the broad peak complex at 6.63 due to? Lots of rare earths fall in this region but I wouldn¡¯t expect that much of a response and I don¡¯t see anything lining up.

I guess the best approach would be to re run this sample at a 4096 conversion gain and increase the beam flux and count time.

Yeah, this confuses me as well.? Is this Si-PIN?? The cal is 4 points that are not linear and very different from the 2 point cal that I have been using with Si-PIN.

Geo,

Something is wrong here. Is your E cal correct? The ¡°Fe¡± is not
centered and these peaks are too broad. I assume you¡¯re using the new sample
chamber. Where is ?this background coming from? Re-run a better rock and look
at the difference.? I think you have a bad geometry setup between the sample, detector
and the X-ray beam. Re run an old sample and compare the differences.? I¡¯m
confused on this.

Sorry interruption, this is the Basserite scan for Charles,
plus a no-sample scan for background info- and there's a lot of background with
a full lead shield!

To my eyes-? lots of iron, very little uranium XRF when compared to iron.
