What is a ton (assay) (UK) used for?

It is a traditional unit used to report ore or metal quantities in assay certificates and for pricing metals in mining.

Why convert ton (assay) (UK) to gamma?

Conversion allows representing very small trace sample masses from larger ore quantities for accurate chemical and mineral analysis.

Is gamma a standard international unit?

No, gamma is a historical, non-SI unit equivalent to one microgram used mainly for expressing very small masses.
