Quality AssuranceRegular participation in international, national and internal proficiency testing programs and client specific proficiency programs complements NATA ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation ensuring international standards are maintained in the laboratories’ procedures, methodology, validation, QA/QC and data handling.

Certified Reference Materials and/or in house controls, blanks and replicates are analysed with each batch of samples. These quality control results are reported along with the sample values in the final report. Selected samples are also re-analysed to confirm anomalous results. Prices include the reporting of all QC data except where more than 10% repeats are considered necessary in cases such as poor reproducibility due to particulate precious metals, in which case additional repeats may be charged for.

Where the concentration of an element exceeds the capacity of the original method selected, re-analysis will be carried out using a more appropriate technique at the client’s expense, unless otherwise requested.

LabTrakResponding to Minerals industry needs, Intertek Genalysis have further developed their “LabTrak” system to enable customers to view the status of submitted samples and download analytical results online.

LabTrak provides tools for tracking sample status through the laboratory, viewing and downloading analytical data, generating customised quality control reports and managing access rights, all designed to provide information that is timely, accurate, accessible and secure.

ContentsSelection of Methods

The intended end use of analytical data is the primary consideration when selecting the most appropriate analytical methods. Duetoawiderangeofapplications,fromgreenfieldsexplorationthroughtoresourcedefinitionandproduction,keycriteriatobe consideredinclude;accuracyandprecision,detectionlimits,expectedconcentrationofthetargetelement(s),samplematrixandbudget.

Sample preparation is a vital stage in the analytical process. Correct preparation procedures allow representative sub-sampling which is the foundation of quality analysis. For ease of selection, packages have been created to cover the most commonly used procedures.

The choice of sample dissolution procedure, to get a sample into a form amenable to instrumental analysis, is important, and each has its own advantages and limitations. Consideration should be given to whether a partial or complete decomposition is required for each application when choosing between the various digestion techniques.

Throughout this Schedule we have used three shades of colour to provide an indication of the degree of recovery using a particular method for each element. For less aggressive digests, such as aqua regia, many elements are shown as likely to be only partially recovered, whereas for more rigorous four acid digests where hydrofluoric acid is included to dissolve silicates, many more elements are likely to approach total recovery. Most minerals will be completely decomposed using the various fusion techniques and therefore, results for most elements will be total. Overall, the recovery of a particular element depends on the degree to which the host mineral is digested, the solubility of that element and any losses due to volatilisation.

The lower and upper limits for each element are shown in most tables and are a guide to the ranges that can be routinely measured, however these may vary in some cases as a result of the sample matrix.

A selection of analytical packages are offered including a range of multi-element scans and commodity specific suites. The comprehensive multi-element packages incorporate the lowest detection limits that can be analysed and utilise both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instrumentation. Variationsinelementsuites,instrumentationanddetectionlimitsoffermorecosteffectivepackageoptions.

For greenfields exploration, various multi-element options are listed under Exploration Geochemistry. Where gold is a target element for soil and stream sediment surveys, an aqua regia digestion and a multi-element analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-OES is useful as both gold and a range of other elements can be determined cost effectively using the same digest. Aqua regia will digest gold and chalcophile elements in particular, however elements associated with silicates and more refractory minerals may only be partially digested. Four acid digestions will dissolve all but the most refractory minerals, with total analyses for most elements. If gold is not required, the four acid digestion and multi-element analysis is recommended for exploration work.

For detecting buried mineralisation, partial leaches on soils are an effective tool. Similarly, plant tissue or groundwater, which can be sampledeasilyandcheaply,canbeanalysedinconjunctionwith,orasanalternativeto,conventionalmedia.Analysesavailableusingthese methods are listed in the Partial Digests and Biogeochemistry sections. Orientation surveys are particularly important when using these techniques and it is advisable to discuss your needs with us in advance.

Fused bead XRF is particularly useful for the analysis of bulk commodities such as iron ore and bauxite, and is listed in the Commodities section. Moisture correction is routinely carried out and samples are reported on a dry basis. This technique is not suitable for samples containing high sulphides. Other commodity specific methods are available in this section.

Precious metals are best analysed by fire assay, with lead collection used to analyse Au, Pt and Pd, whereas nickel sulphide collection is usedforthefullsuiteofplatinumgroupelements(PGE).

Complete Lithogeochemistry packages are available using a combination of methods to analyse the widest range of elements. Fusion ICP-MS is best for the analysis of REE and HFSE as the host minerals are often refractory. Lithium borate fusion and either XRF or ICP-OES are the best methods for whole rock analyses.

Sample Preparation

Sample Preparation

The production of a homogeneous sub-sample, representative of the material submitted to the laboratory is the primary purpose of sample preparation. Correct preparation is critical to obtaining meaningful analytical results. The selection of the specific sample preparation procedures will depend on the type and size of the sample, the mineralogy as well as the client’s analytical and budgetary requirements.

Segregation into high and low grade sample preparation areas and utilisation of techniques such as vacuuming pulveriser vessels and/or quartz washes between samples reduces the potential for contamination. Robotic preparation employing quartz washes is also available at some facilities.

Close and ongoing consultation with the laboratory will ensure that optimal sample preparation techniques are employed thus maximising the value added in the analytical process.

Sample Preparation PackagesTo facilitate easy selection of sample preparation procedures, commonly used techniques have been packaged together.

Rotaryorarcualsplitting RS01 $0.50/kg

PulverisingPulverising is carried out on crushed or relatively fine products to achieve a fine homogeneous powder to enable small sub-samples to be taken for analysis that will be representative of the larger coarse sample. For most sample types at least 85% of material will be pulverised to 75µm or better.

All devices used in the crushing and pulverising of samples can impart trace levels of contaminants. Low chrome steel is often the preferred material for pulverising vessels as the chrome and iron contamination is usually negligible compared with the levels commonlyencountered inmostgeologicalmaterials.Otheroptions suchas tungstencarbide (WC)andzirconia (Zr) vesselsareavailable if required.

The advent of sensitive, rapid throughput instrumentation such as ICP-OES and ICP-MS used to complement one another has revolutionised exploration geochemistry in the last two decades. Large multi-element packages with detection limits commensurate with the crustal abundances of the analytes are available for exploration purposes at affordable prices. Limited AAS and ICP-OES suites are also available to suit the requirements of particular exploration programs. A variety of digests are offered which include multi-purpose aqua regia and four acid “total” digests along with specialised biogeochemical and partial leach digests specifically for greenfields exploration.

Analytical options include:• Au+Multi-ElementsbyAquaRegiaDigestion• Multi-ElementsbyFourAcidDigestion• TerraLeach™PartialDigestGeochemistry• Biogeochemistry

Aqua Regia Digestion for Gold + Multi-ElementsAqua regia is a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids which acts as powerful oxidizing agent with the ability to dissolve gold. Most oxide, sulphide and carbonate minerals are digested by aqua regia, however certain refractory minerals and most silicates are only partially decomposed. An aqua regia leach is a very useful exploration tool and an industry standard for many grassroots exploration programs, however it should not be used for resource quality data. Recovery levels vary between elements and sample matrices, with indicative recoveries highlighted on the package tables.

Packages range from basic ICP-OES only suites through to a comprehensive element list utilising both ICP-OES and ICP-MS for ultra trace levels. The 1g options are primarily a multi-element scanning tool; precious metal results are indicative only and should be interpreted with extreme caution due to the particulate nature of precious metals in some sample types. The 10g and 25g methods offer cost effective options for gold and multi-element suites. Mercury may report low due to losses of volatile forms primarily during samplingandpreparationstages.Detectionlimitsmaybecompromisedduetothesamplematrix.

An additional charge is applicable for samples containing graphitic or other organic material that require roasting prior to digestion.

Four Acid Digestion Multi-Elements Packages

Four acid digests, with the inclusion of hydrofluoric acid targeting silicates, will decompose almost all mineral species and are referred to as “near-total digestions”. Highly resistant minerals such as zircon, cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, rutile and wolframite will require a fusion digest to ensure complete dissolution. Relative indicative recoveries for each element are highlighted on the package tables. Fouraciddigestsmayvolatilisesomeelements.Detectionlimitsmaybecompromisedduetothesamplematrix.

Packages range from basic ICP-OES only suites through to a comprehensive element list utilising both ICP-OES and ICP-MS for ultra trace levels.

TerraLeach™ Partial Digest GeochemistryPartialdigestsarecarriedoutonsoilmediatodetectburiedorebodiesinareaswhereconventionalgeochemistrymaynotwork.Buriedorebodies may release trace levels of metals into groundwater which are inferred to travel vertically and accumulate within the top portion of the soil profile where they add to the background metal concentrations. Their contribution to the overall metal concentration may be very small and metal recoveries are typically low, therefore most elements are read on an ICP-MS to achieve the most sensitive detection limits.

The medium is normally fine grained and typically samples are not pulverised. Samples sourced from outside Western Australia are heat treated for quarantine purposes. This may slightly alter the recovery of certain elements, anomalous features however are still retained.

Targeted metal ions generally reside on the surfaces of soil particles requiring only weak leaches to remove them thus producing superior anomaly contrasts. This differentiates partial digests from stronger leaches which extract occluded metal ions that contribute to background levels of metal, resulting in inferior anomaly contrast.

Partial digests tend to be efficient for certain element suites and specific element species. Soil type and digestion method must therefore bematchedtorecovertargetedelements.Detectionlimitsmayvaryasaconsequenceofthesamplemedia.Beforecommencinganynewpartial digest program we recommend consultation with our geochemist. An orientation study to help select the optimum sample media and digest technique is recommended.

Biogeochemistry Plants can be sophisticated geochemical samplers and the analysis of plant tissue can be used as a guide to the underlying geology, which may be particularly useful in areas of transported cover. Samples are easy and cheap to collect and have a low environmental impact. The levels of metals in plant tissues are low, compared with soil, so care must be taken not to contaminate the samples. Sites away from human activity or itseffectsarepreferred.Allplanttissue(foliage,twigs,bark,flowers,seeds,litter)canbeanalysed,however,foliageandbarkoftengivethestrongest geochemical signature. An orientation study to determine the most useful species and tissue type to sample is recommended.

Specific sampling techniques should be followed, please contact the laboratory for detailed instructions. Foliage is separated from the twigs and extraneous material removed from litter, as required, before being milled in specialised preparation equipment. The pulp is digested using a modified aqua regia digest and analysed by ICP-OES, MS and AAS. Multi-element analyses are the most useful for biogeochemicalinterpretation,sothefullsuiteofelementsisrecommended.Detectionlimitsforsaltbushandothersamplesthatareparticularly enriched may be elevated due to sample matrix.

The methods offered under Ores and Commodities are typically used in advanced exploration and for the evaluation of specific targets. The diverse suite of methods offered include those used for base metal and industrial mineral resource estimation as well as fusion methods useful for characterisation of geological samples in late stage exploration programs where total dissolution of the samples is required.

Many techniques listed under this section are suitable for trade related “shipment” analyses and may beoffered separately or in conjunctionwithour surveying and sampling services. Please contact thelaboratory for details and pricing.

Fusions done in platinum have the advantage that the crucible metal is not imparted to the fusion product in significant amounts.Sincethefluxdoesnotcontainsodium,allthemajorelementscanbequantifiedusingICP-OES.Theprincipaldisadvantageofa borate fusion is that it is not suitable for certain samples types. The flux is non-oxidising and the presence of any reduced species and certain metals in large amounts can damage the expensive platinum crucibles. Samples containing large amounts of copper, reduced sulphur such as sulphides, arsenides, metallics and organic matter are thus not suitable for fusion in platinum crucibles. Fusions done using a sodium peroxide flux cannot be used for the determination of sodium or the metal from which the crucible is manufactured and other metals which may be present in the crucible in significant amounts as well as elements that undergo spectral interference by these elements. In the case of a zirconium crucible, for example, zirconium, hafnium and phosphorus cannot be determined. In the case of a nickel crucible, nickel, chromium, cobalt and molybdenum cannot be determined. For the full range of elements available for the various fusion types, please refer to the tables from page 22. Fusion using sodium peroxide is, nonetheless, very robust and can be used on a wide range of materials which include highly refractory minerals such as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite as well as high grade sulphide ores and mattes.

Lithium borate fusion offers a relatively low temperature, aggressive digest suitable for almost all geological samples with the exception of those containing high sulphides. These should be analysed using the sodium peroxide options.

Sodium peroxide fusions offer total dissolution of the sample and can be performed in either nickel or zirconium crucibles to preclude the presence of unwanted contaminant metals allowing different element suites to be tailored for various purposes. Sodium peroxide fusions are useful for samples in which the elements of interest are hosted in minerals that may resist acid digestions.

Ores & High Grade MaterialsHigh grade sulphide ores are readily quantified using a 4 acid digest with an instrument finish that may include ICP-OES, ICP-MS or AAS. The digestion process is specially formulated to retain low-solubility elements such as Pb and Ag in solution at higher concentrations, and is a near total dissolution. Elements incorporated in highly refractory minerals may not be completely dissolved. An AAS finish is a cost effective wayofanalysingalimitedsuiteofelements,whereasICP-OESallowsfortheaccuratedeterminationofthemajororechemistryaswellaslower level characterisation of other elements.

Aqua regia is generally quantitative for elements in a sulphide association, but will only partially digest silicates and refractory oxides. A four acid digest will, however, digest most silicates, oxides, carbonates and sulphides. Elements such as Ni and Co may have both a sulphide and a silicate association requiring a four acid digest for complete recovery. To complement the base metal exploration packages, an equivalent ore grade packages is offered with AAS and ICPOES finishes. These options offer a robust, accurate technique in which the chemistry of diverse base metal ores can be determined for resource quality data.

Pulverised samples are fused with a lithium borate flux and cast into disks using semi or fully automated technology. The use of fusion disks eliminates physical effects such as particle size and reduces matrix effects which can compromise the accuracy of XRF analysis.

Aluminium Ore (Bauxite)XRF analysis of bauxite is the preferred method to return total values of the component oxides such as alumina and silica. A single point LOI is done at 1000°C. As bauxites are highly hygroscopic, all data is corrected to the dry sample.

Of more fundamental importance are the available alumina and reactive silica components of the bauxite ores.

Lithogeochemistry

Lithogeochemistry

Lithogeochemical studies require the full characterisation of rock samples. Many applications require the accurate analysis of both mobile and immobile elements that can assist in identifying precursor rock types and quantification of any geological processes that may have affected them. Lithogeochemistry is also useful for geochemical fingerprinting, quantification of crystal fractionation, identifying regolith processes and for strategic correlation. Several analytical techniques are used including both fusion and four acid digests with XRF, ICP-OES and ICP-MS finishes. These methods produce data of highest quality that is suitable for exploration, research, publication and geochemical modeling purposes.Lithium borate fusion offers a relatively low temperature, aggressive digest that dissolves almost all geological samples while limiting losses due tovolatilisation.Thistechniqueisoptimisedforawiderangeofelementconcentrations.Majorelementanalysiscanbecarriedoutbyboratefusionwith either ICP-OES or XRF finishes. XRF is the more precise option however highly mineralised samples may be more amenable to an ICP-OES finish.AdditionalelementsmaybeanalysedbyICP-OESand/orICP-MS.Upperandlowerlimitsmayvarywithinstrumenttypeandsamplematrix.

Lithium borate fusions are not a suitable technique when the sulphide sulphur and copper contents of the sample exceeds 2 and 1 per cent respectively. XRF is not a suitable finish for borate fusions where the total REE oxide content exceeds 1 per cent.

Sample DespatchTo assist with the efficient processing of your samples please email all assay instructions and any freight information prior to or at the time of despatch. Sample submissions received without written instructions can not be processed until adequate written instructions are received from the client.

Significant discrepancies between submission sheets and actual samples received will be reported prior to commencement of the processing. Any minor discrepancies will be noted on the analytical report.

We recommend that all submissions of samples are clearly labelled and packaged in a concise and systematic order and are accompanied by accurate and detailed paperwork. To facilitate safe manual handling we would appreciate that samples be packaged in units not exceeding 25kg each. Sample submissions poorly labelled or packaged may incur additional sorting charges. Please “flag” the bag containing the paperwork.

Sample submission pads and pre-addressed stick-on labels are available upon request free of charge. A sample submission form is available from our web site at www.genalysis.com.au . We offer an online submission service or the option to print a submission to be either emailed or faxed.

The minimum information required on any sample submission sheet is:

1. Client name

2. List or range of sample numbers

3. Sample preparation required

4. Elements required for analysis

5. Methods of analysis preferred

6. Resultdestination(s)
