This is the Newest Printing by Edward E. Bugbee, 2015, This is a reprint of the 3rd edition, 1940. 315 pages (Paperback)

The book is accepted as the premier reference text on fire assaying. There is a complete discussion on the fire assay process, including PGM (platinum group metals) assays, complex ores, mill and smelter products, plus bullion and lead assays. The coverage of the theory of fire assaying has made the book popular as a school text. Also the section on practical assaying as well as suggestions for commercial assaying have generated a great interest in this publication.
