English term or phrase: tes
During the period 2000–2003, police recovered approximately 633 *tes* of gold-bearing material (the equivalent of over 3 kilos of solid gold) and over 1000 *tes* of platinum group metals.
This is in a text about theft in mines. I can't find anything about tes.

agree  Yves Goethals: Je pense que c'est correct. Regardez http://www.iss.co.za/pgcontent.php?UID=15720 Le rapport entre GBM et solid gold est environ 5 g/tonne. Donc avec 3 kilos de "solid gold", on avait au départ environ 600 tonnes de GBM
