the accuracy of laboratory assaying. Rubidium 57.80
Samarium 3.32
Preparation and Packaging Scandium 17.90
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 % 0.77
material is then homogenised and stored in a sealed, stable container ready for final packaging. Tantalum -1.00
Tellurium -5.00
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 3.63
has been chosen to ensure minimal contamination from outside sources during shipment, use Tin nr
and storage. Tungsten 11.10
Uranium -2.00
Ytterbium 1.29
Assay Testwork Zinc 112.00
All standards are tested thoroughly in the Geostats bi-annual laboratory survey. This involves Zirconium -500.00
assaying by a minimum of 50 reputable laboratories selected from across the world. Results Calcium% 1.74
are compiled into a comprehensive report detailing statistics for each standard. Assay Potassium % 0.85
distributions are checked and processed statistically, producing monitoring statistics for these Silver -5.00
standards. Materials are tested regularly to ensure stability and homogeneity. Mercury nr
