Conclusion
1 For coarse fractions (+106) with 10% magnetite, Silica (silicon) reading 2/8 of 3 gram sub
2 For middle fractions (-106 +75) with 10% magnetite, Silica (silicon) reading 8/8 of 3 gram
3 1/8 gives the closest results for Iron reading for middle size fraction (-106 +75) with 10% m
4 the silicon reading results do not make sense with 1/8 sub samples (Silica > 100%)
