3.0 TEST METHODOLOGY

3.1 Testwork Flowchart

Sample received from Client were prepared and analyzed as per flowchart below:

Figure 3 – Testwork Flowchart

3.2 Testwork Method Summary

3.2.1 Sample Preparation for XRD testing

MLG_PREP_XRD – The dried sample is ground in a tungsten carbide bowl/mortar bar to achieve fineness of
P100<53 microns.

3.2.3 XRD Equipment Settings

XRD - The XRD technique is non-destructive and involves placing a powdered sample in a holder, then
illuminate with x-rays of a fixed wave-length. X-ray diffraction relies on the dual wave/particle nature of X-
rays to obtain information about the structure of crystalline materials.

Phase ID/Qualitative Analysis is performed using Diffrac EVA software with the ICDD PDF-4 database.

Quantitative Phase Analysis (QPA) is performed using Diffrac TOPAS software based on Rietveld
refinement, a technique devised by Hugo Rietveld for use in the characterization of crystalline materials.
The x-ray diffraction of powder samples results in a pattern characterized by reflections (peaks in intensity)
at certain positions. The height, width and position of these reflections can be used to determine many
aspects of the material's structure. The Rietveld method uses a least squares approach to refine a theoretical
line profile until it matches the measured profile. The introduction of this technique was a significant step
forward in the diffraction analysis of powder samples as it is able to deal reliably with strongly overlapping
reflections. The Rietveld Refinement does not take into account any amorphous or poorly crystalline phases
that may be present and do not contribute to diffraction peaks

The XRD equipment is operated under for following conditions for standard bulk scans.

3.2.4 XRF Fusion Analysis for Silica Sand

XRFFSI - A calcined or ignited sample is added to Lithium Borate Flux, mixed well and fused between 1050 -
1100°C. A flat molten glass disc is prepared from the resulting melt. The fused-glass disk specimen is
irradiated by a high-energy X-ray beam. Concentrations of the elements are determined by relating the
measured radiation of unknown specimens to analytical curves prepared from reference materials of known
composition.
