REPORT 03/437B
 INTRODUCTION
OREAS certified reference materials (CRMs) are intended to provide a low cost method of
evaluating and improving the quality of precious and base metal analysis of geological
samples. To the analyst they provide an effective means of calibrating analytical
equipment, assessing new techniques and routinely monitoring in-house procedures. To
the geologist they provide a means of implementing quality control in analytical data sets
generated in exploration, from the grass roots level through to prospect evaluation, and in
grade control at mining operations.

As a rule only source materials exhibiting a high level of homogeneity of the element(s) of
interest are used in the preparation of these materials. This has enabled Ore Research &
Exploration to produce a range of CRMs exhibiting homogeneity that matches or exceeds
that of currently available international reference materials. In certain instances CRMs
produced from a single source are sufficiently homogeneous to produce a relatively
coarse-grained form designed to simulate drill chip samples. These have a grain size of
minus 3mm and are designated with a "C" suffix to the CRM identification number. These
standards are packaged in 1kg units following homogenisation and are intended for
submission to analytical laboratories in subsample sizes of as little as 250g. They offer the
added advantages of providing a check on both sample preparation and analytical
procedures while acting as a blind standard to the assay laboratory. The more
conventional pulped standards have a grain size of minus 20 to minus 75 microns and a
higher degree of homogeneity. These standards are distinguished by a "P" suffix to the
standard identification number. In line with ISO recommendations successive batch
numbers are now designated by the lower case suffixes "a", "b", "c", "d", etc.

SOURCE MATERIAL

Reference material OREAS 14P is one of two Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd-Au CRMs prepared from RC
drill samples from the West Musgrave region of Western Australia. The samples from
which both CRMs were derived were obtained from a mafic magma conduit within
granulite country rock south of the Giles Complex in the Musgrave Block. OREAS 14P is a
magmatic massive sulphide with ore grade concentrations of nickel and copper while its
counterpart, OREAS 13P, is a mineralised leuco gabbronorite containing disseminated Fe-
Ni-Cu sulphides.

COMMINUTION AND HOMOGENISATION PROCEDURES

The material constituting OREAS 14P was prepared in the following manner:

a) drying to constant mass at 650 C;

b) crushing;
c) milling to minus 25 microns;
d) homogenisation;
e) packaging into 100g lots sealed under N2 in laminated foil pouches.

 ANALYSIS OF OREAS 14P

Fifteen analytical laboratories participated in the analytical program. Their results together
with uncorrected means, medians, one sigma standard deviations, relative standard
deviations and percent deviation of lab means from the corrected mean of means (PDM3)
are presented in an appendix (Tables A2 to A30). The analytical methods employed by
each laboratory are indicated as codes at the head of each laboratory data set and
explained in Table A1 (Appendix).

The intent of the certification program was to obtain total concentration values for the
elements of interest hence four acid (including HF) digest, borate or alkali fusion methods
were employed for the lithophile elements and base metals in combination with an ICP-
OES, ICP-MS or AAS reading method. Chromium and zirconium were both under-
reported by 4 acid digest compared to fusion methods, presumably due to the presence of
refractory host phases and/or volatilisation during digestion, and method dependent values
are therefore provided for these elements. Sulphur was determined by 4 acid digest / ICP-
OES (22.6% S) and Leco furnace (23.8% S) and although agreement between the two
methods is reasonable the Leco value is considered more reliable at these concentrations
as corroborated by the narrower confidence interval (Table 1).
For gold and the platinum group elements (PGEs) lead fire assay was used for gold,
platinum and palladium and nickel sulphide fire assay for the six PGEs and gold with ICP-
MS as the reading method. No statistical bias was observed between either method for
platinum and palladium and results were therefore combined for treatment, while for gold
under-reporting was evident to varying degrees for nickel sulphide collection and these
results have been discarded. Gold, together with Ca, Cr, Co, Fe, Sc and Na, have been
determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) on a reduced analytical
subsample of 0.5g to confirm homogeneity.

Samples used for the round robin evaluation were taken at regular intervals throughout
the packaging of the standard and then laboratory sample sets were taken from these
in a sequence designed to maximise their representation. The twenty INAA
subsamples, on which much of the homogeneity evaluation is based, were also taken
at regular intervals during packaging and are considered representative of the entire
batch.

where t1-x/2(p-1) is the 1-x/2 fractile of the t-distribution with (p-1) degrees of freedom.

The distribution of the values are assumed to be symmetrical about the mean in the
calculation of the confidence limits.

The test for rejection of individual outliers from each laboratory data set was based on z
scores (rejected if zi > 2.5) computed from the robust estimators of location and scale, T
and S, respectively, according to the formulae

S = 1.483 median / xj – median (xi) /

j=1…..n i=1…..n

xi - T
zi =
S

where

T is the median value in a data set;

S is the median of all absolute deviations from the sample median multiplied by 1.483, a
correction factor to make the estimator consistent with the usual parameter of a normal
distribution.

Individual outliers and, more rarely, laboratory means deemed to be outlying are shown in
bold in the tabulated results (Appendix) and have been omitted in the determination of
recommended values.

The magnitude of the confidence interval is inversely proportional to the number of
participating laboratories and interlaboratory agreement. It is a measure of the reliability of
the recommended value, i.e. the narrower the confidence interval the greater the certainty
in the recommended value.

Statement of Homogeneity
The standard deviation of each laboratory data set includes error due to both the
imprecision of the analytical method employed and to possible inhomogeneity of the
material analysed. The standard deviation of the pooled individual analyses of all
participating laboratories includes error due to the imprecision of each analytical method,
to possible inhomogeneity of the material analysed and, in particular, to deficiencies in
accuracy of each analytical method. In determining tolerance intervals for elements other
than gold that component of error attributable to measurement inaccuracy was eliminated
by transformation of the individual results of each data set to a common mean (the
uncorrected grand mean) according to the formula

The homogeneity of each constituent was determined from tables of factors for two-sided
tolerance limits for normal distributions (ISO 3207) in which

Ore Research & Exploration Pty Ltd 5

 Lower limit is &x& - k 2′ (n, p,1 - α )s ′g′
Upper limit is &x& + k 2′ (n, p,1 - α )s ′g′

where
n is the number of results;
1 − α is the confidence level;
p is the proportion of results exp ected within the tolerance lim its;
k 2′ is the factor for two − sided tolerance lim its (m, α unknown);
s ′g′ is the corrected grand s tan dard deviation.

The meaning of these tolerance limits may be illustrated for copper, where 99% of the time
at least 95% of subsamples will have concentrations lying between 0.99 and 1.01%. Put
more precisely, this means that if the same number of subsamples were taken and
analysed in the same manner repeatedly, 99% of the tolerance intervals so constructed
would cover at least 95% of the total population, and 1% of the tolerance intervals would
cover less than 95% of the total population (IS0 Guide 35).

The corrected grand standard deviation, sg", used to compute the tolerance intervals is the
weighted means of standard deviations of all data sets for a particular constituent
according to the formula

∑ ( s (1 - s′
i=1
i ))
s ′g′ =

∑ (1 - s′

where

s ′g is the grand standard deviation computed from the transformed (i.e. means -
adjusted) results

according to the formula

s ′g =  
i= j j=i

 p

 ∑ ni - 1 
 i=1 

where xi′ is the transformed mean for laboratory i

The weighting factors were applied to compensate for the considerable variation in
analytical precision amongst participating laboratories. Hence, weighting factors for each
data set have been constructed so as to be inversely proportional to the standard deviation

Ore Research & Exploration Pty Ltd 6

of that data set. A weighting factor of zero was applied to those data sets where sI / 2sg’ >1
(i.e. where the weighting factor 1- sI / 2sg’ < 0). It should be noted that estimates of
tolerance by this method are considered conservative as a significant proportion of the
observed variance, even in those laboratories exhibiting the best analytical precision, can
presumably be attributed to measurement error.
For gold a more simplified procedure was used in the determination of homogeneity. This
entailed using the high precision INAA data alone, obtained on an analytical subsample
weight of 0.5g (compared to 40-50g for the fire assay method). By employing a sufficiently
reduced subsample weight in a series of determinations by the same method, analytical
error becomes negligible in comparison to subsampling error. The corresponding standard
deviation at a 50g subsample weight can then be determined from the observed standard
deviation of the 0.5g data using the known relationship between the two parameters
(Kleeman, 1967). The homogeneity of gold was then determined from tables of factors for
two-sided tolerance limits for normal distributions. The high level of repeatability indicated
by the low standard deviations in the laboratory data sets in Table A9 (particularly the 0.5 g
INAA data) is consistent with the narrow calculated tolerance interval and is confirmation of
the excellent homogeneity of gold in OREAS 14P.
For elements other than gold, outliers were removed prior to the calculation of tolerance
intervals and a weighting factor of zero was applied to those data sets where sI / 2sg’ >1
(i.e. where the weighting factor 1- sI / 2sg’ < 0).

Performance Gates
Performance gates provide an indication of a level of performance that might reasonably
be expected from a routine laboratory being monitored by this standard in a QA/QC
program. They incorporate errors attributable to bias, precision and inhomogeneity and are
simply calculated from the standard deviation of the pooled individual analyses (fire assay
data only) generated from the certification program. All individual and lab dataset (batch)
outliers are removed prior to determination of the standard deviation. These outliers can
only be removed after the absolute homogeneity of the CRM has been independently
established, i.e. the outliers must be confidently deemed to be analytical rather than arising
from inhomogeneity of the CRM.
Performance gates have been calculated for one, two and three standard deviations of
the accepted pool of certification data and are presented in Table 3. As a guide these
intervals may be regarded as informational (1σ), warning or rejection for multiple outliers
(2σ), or rejection for individual outliers (3σ) in QC monitoring although their precise
application should be at the discretion of the QC manager concerned.
