This product is for use in the mining industry as reference materials for monitoring and testing Nickel nr
the accuracy of laboratory assaying. Rubidium 686.50
Samarium 1.33
Preparation and Packaging Scandium 7.26
All standards are dried in an oven for a minimum of 12 hours at 110C. The dry material is then Selenium -5.00
pulverised to better than 75 micron (nominal mean of 45 micron) using an Air Classifier. The Sodium % 1.47
material is then homogenised and stored in a sealed, stable container ready for final packaging. Tantalum -2.00
Tellurium -10.00
Materials are statistically sampled from stores, then packaged into either heat sealed, air tight, Terbium nr
plastic pulp packets or screw top sealed plastic containers ready for distribution. All packaging Thorium 1.25
has been chosen to ensure minimal contamination from outside sources during shipment, use Tin nr
and storage. Tungsten 4.21
Uranium -2.00
Ytterbium 1.40
Assay Testwork Zinc 4725.00
All standards are tested thoroughly in the Geostats bi-annual laboratory survey. This involves Zirconium 743.00
assaying by a minimum of 50 reputable laboratories selected from across the world. Results Calcium% 1.54
are compiled into a comprehensive report detailing statistics for each standard. Assay Potassium % 2.91
distributions are checked and processed statistically, producing monitoring statistics for these Silver 45.00
standards. Materials are tested regularly to ensure stability and homogeneity. Mercury nr
