What is a ton (assay) (UK)?

It is a traditional, industry-specific unit used in assaying to report the mass of ore or metal, distinct from long tons, short tons, or metric tonnes.

Which ounce is used for precious metals?

The troy ounce variant, weighing approximately 31.1034768 grams, is used specifically for precious metals.

Why is this conversion important in assaying?

It helps interpret assay results and facilitates calculating payable metal quantities and pricing in a standardized mass unit.
