Geoscience Australia (GA), as part of the Birrindudu Deep Dive (BDD) project, requires multi-elemental geochemical data on 460 to 700 whole-rock samples per service, provided as prepared rock powders. The required services include : · Service A - Whole Rock Inorganic Geochemistry Analysis · Service B - Whole Rock Quantitative XRD Analysis Suppliers can provide a response for only Service A or only Service B or both services (Services A and B). Service A - Whole Rock Inorganic Geochemistry Analysis Up to 700 whole rock samples will be provided as prepared rock powders. Samples will be submitted in batches over the contract period. The Supplier will carry out inorganic geochemical analyses and reporting on up to 700 whole rock samples. Analysis must be completed by mid June 2026. · Essential analytical services will include : o Elemental analysis of 52 elements (11 major elements as oxides and 52 trace elements, including rare earth elements) by XRF and total digestion ICP-MS or ICP-AES. - The major elements, reported as oxide percent by weight percent, include : SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, Fe2O3, K2O, MgO, MnO, Na2O, P2O5, SO3, TiO2. Depending on whole rock material, these elements may be below detection limit for major element methods and will need to be characterised using trace element specific methods, as outlined below; - The desired trace elements, including rare earth elements, reported as parts per million are : - Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, ...
