Activation with epithermal neutrons is known as Epithermal NAA (ENAA).
The Newmont program was specifically designed to test for Carlin-style deposits within the Caracol Formation which underlies the Ahuichila Formation conglomerate and did not target the outcropping epithermal breccias.
Our metallurgical testing earlier this year indicated that the late epithermal overprint offers gravity recoveries of +50% and leach recoveries of +85% making these targets extremely attractive.”
Part of the rhyolite is mineralized and appears to be related to epithermal gold mineralization throughout the property.
Cross sections for both capture and fission reactions often have multiple resonance peaks at specific energies in the epithermal energy range.
However, in a partially moderated reactor with more interactions of epithermal neutrons with heavy metal nuclei, there are greater possibilities for transient changes in reactivity that might make reactor control more difficult.
