Note: Standards with an RSD of near or less than 5% are certified; RSD’s of between 5% and 15% are
Provisional; RSD’s over 15% are Indicated. Provisional and Indicated values cannot be used to
monitor accuracy with a high degree of certainty.
The certified value and between lab 2SD calculated for each element are done so for a specific analytical
procedure. It is inappropriate to apply them to other techniques (eg. geochemical analyses).
METHOD OF PREPARATION:
Reject ore material was dried, crushed, pulverized and then passed through a 270 mesh screen. The +270 material was discarded. The
-270 material was mixed for 5 days in a double-cone mixer. Splits were taken and sent to 15 laboratories for round robin assaying.
Percent Percent
SiO2 63.3 MgO 1.4
Al2O3 15.3 K2O 3.1
Fe2O3 7.5 TiO2 0.5
CaO 2.1 LOI 4.7
Na2O 1.2 S 2.2
Statistical Procedures:
The final limits were calculated after first determining if all data was compatible within a spread normally expected for similar
analytical methods done by reputable laboratories. Data from any one laboratory was removed from further calculations when the mean
of all analyses from that laboratory failed a t test of the global means of the other laboratories. The means and standard deviations were
calculated using all remaining data. Any analysis that fell outside of the mean ±2 standard deviations was removed from the ensuing
data base. The mean and standard deviations were again calculated using the remaining data. This method is different from that used
by Government agencies in that the actual “between-laboratory” standard deviation is used in the calculations. This produces upper and
lower limits that reflect actual individual analyses rather than a grouped set of analyses. The limits can therefore be used to monitor
accuracy from individual analyses, unlike the Confidence Limits published on other standards.
