1987-1993

Activation Laboratories Ltd. (ACTLABS) was established in 1987 by Dr. Eric Hoffman, an economic geochemist. The laboratory began by providing

Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) to the academic, government and mineral exploration sectors. The INAA technique which involves

bombarding samples with neutrons from a nuclear reactor and measuring the induced gamma-ray "fingerprint" from the sample, non-destructively, was

enthusiastically embraced by all as a highly accurate and cost-effective, analytical technique for analysis of geological samples. Dr. Hoffman had

effected the transfer of INAA technology from university to industry in 1978, where it became widely accepted. Although excellent, the INAA technique

could not analyze all elements in the periodic table to the detection limits required by our clientele. Unfortunately, no one analytical technique can

achieve this distinction. As a result, ACTLABS added Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AA), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission

Spectroscopy (ICP/OES), X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF), Fire Assay, Infrared technology for carbon and sulphur, Ion Chromatography,

Capillary Electrophoresis (CE), Autoanalyzers, Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS), High Resolution ICP/MS, Gas

Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC, LC/MS/MS) and Coulometry.

Some of the analytical innovations of using modern instrumentation to solve geochemical problems included the development of methods for analysis

of rocks, soils, stream sediments, humus and vegetation samples for "Au+34" elements, the analysis of fire assay doré beads for Au, the analysis of

the whole platinum group of elements by NiS fire assay combined with INAA and heavy mineral concentrate analysis by INAA. Our

hydrogeochemistry and lithogeochemistry packages marry the needs of research and exploration geologists and environmental chemists with modern

ICP/MS technology. These packages are still unrivaled in elements offered, detection limits achieved, highest quality of data, and cost, anywhere in

the world. High-level Rare Earth Element Analysis using our robotic sample preparation is unrivalled anywhere in the world for accuracy and reliability.

ACTLABS introduced Enzyme LeachSM in 1993. This selective extraction on surface soil had the ability to "see through" cover and find blind ore

deposits buried below several hundred metres of overburden and cover rock. This was clearly an order of magnitude better than conventional

geochemistry. ACTLABS acquired its first ICP/MS in 1993 and pioneered large-scale ICP/MS analyses. We have maintained our commitment to

advanced technology with the newest quadruple ICP/MS technology and we are the only commercial laboratory serving the mineral industry with high-

resolution magnetic sector ICP/MS technology. This technology allows us to have better detection limits than a quadruple ICP/MS by 1 - 2 orders of

magnitude and resolves most interferences.

1996-2006

In 1996, ACTLABS took over the WMC Exploration division laboratory in Kalgoorlie, Australia and built a new lab in Perth. Also in 1996, ACTLABS

Organics Division began research, led by Dale Sutherland, into the use of soil gas hydrocarbons for mineral exploration. A CAMIRO sponsored research

program ensued to test the technology. In 2001, the new SGH technology became widely available to the mineral exploration industry. As a result of

the first CAMIRO project proving to be so successful, a second CAMIRO project was funded and completed to better understand why SGH was so

successful. The results of this project are now available as the confidentiality period has ended. The SGH technique promises to become one of the

most important technologies for finding blind, deeply buried mineral deposits.

A new state-of-the-art LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) was completed in 2005 which now provides a tool to improve service to our

clients. The same LIMS system now links all of our labs worldwide. Our customers can now track their orders through WEBLIMS.

In 2003-2006, the lab in Ancaster was expanded to 50,000 sq. ft. Sample preparation facilities were greatly increased and were further expanded in

2007. We have added more fire assay capability and have added several new Thermo 6500 state-of-the-art ICPs. New automated titration

equipment will allow more rapid and accurate titrations. The INAA capability was increased 30%. Automated fusion capacity for XRF was doubled in

2006 and increased again in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Also in 2006, ACTLABS established a full laboratory, including fire assay and ICP using state-of-the-art ICP technology, in Nuuk, Greenland. A state-

of-the-art laboratory was also commissioned in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia and was headed by Douglas Read. This lab provides fire assay, leachwell

cyanide technology, state-of-the-art fast sequential atomic absorption analysis and x-ray fluorescence methods on site as well as the full range of

ACTLABS methodologies.

2007-Present

In 2007, two more Varian 735 ICPs and three more Perkin Elmer Sciex ELAN 9000s were added in Ancaster. A new Panalytical Expert Pro XRD

system was installed and a new Panalytical Axios Advanced XRF was commissioned. A third Panalytical Axios Advanced XRF was added in 2009.

Sample preparation facilities in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador and Fredericton, New Brunswick for rock and soils became fully operational in

June 2007. In August 2007 the new high-volume sample preparation-fire assay laboratory became fully operational in Tumeremo, Venezuela. This

facility is headed by Kevin Gomez.

In 2008, a new carbon sulphur analyzer, additional fume hoods and AA capacity was added to the laboratory in Mongolia. A new coal laboratory was

also commissioned.

In 2008, our new full-service lab became fully operational in Thunder Bay, Ontario. This facility provides large volume sample preparation, fire assay

with both gravimetric and atomic absorption, as well as multielement ICP analysis and assays. Additional sample preparation and ICP capabilities were

also added in 2008. 2010 and 2011 saw a major expansion with the acquisition of an additional 36,000 sq. ft. of space which allowed us to centralize

the Thunder Bay lab facilities into the new modern lab with greatly expanded wet chemistry and instrumental capabilities. Two new PE-Sciex Elan 9000

ICP/MS were added as well as two new Panalytical Axios Advanced XRFs, two more Agilent 735 ICPs (now 4) and a third Varian 240 AAS.

In late 2008, our new Guyana sample preparation facility became operational.

2008 also saw the completion of our Ancaster expansion with 36,000 sq. ft. of laboratory space added. The Materials Testing, Forensic and

Pharmaceutical labs were moved to this facility allowing our ICP and Preparation departments to expand.

2009 also saw ACTLABS opening a new sample preparation facility in Geraldton, Ontario. This was expanded in 2010 to include fire assay, atomic

absorption and gravimetric.

A new high-technology lab was also commissioned in Coquimbo, Chile in 2009 with the sample preparation, fire assay, atomic absorption and ICP and

ICP/MS laboratory. Other additional technologies are currently in the planning stage for this lab. Macarena Mery provides the technical leadership at

this facility. A new sample preparation lab was added in 2010 in Antofagasta.

In 2009 a new Field Emission Gun Scanning Electron microscope with 2 Energy Dispersive Xray Analyzers and Mineral Liberation Analyzer software

was added (FEG SEM-MLA). This instrument is unique in North America (FEI-FEG QUANTA 650 MLA). This new facility marks the beginning of

ACTLABS entry into the Geometallurgy market and is headed by Chris Hamilton.

Internationally in 2010, ACTLABS opened new full-service labs in Zacatecas, Mexico (fire assay, atomic absorption, gravimetric and ICP) as well a

sample preparation in Chihuahua, Mexico. A preparation facility was added in Choibalsan, Mongolia. A new full-service lab became operational in

Windhoek, Namibia and includes ICP and XRF facilities (Dr. Claus Wibbelmann - Manager). A new, very high-volume fire assay/atomic absorption,

gravimetric and cyanide lab is due to open in Ougadougu, Burkina Faso in early 2011 in a new building under construction.

In 2010 in Canada, Techni-labs in Quebec was purchased and modernized with ICP being added in Ste. Germaine and high-volume fire assay/atomic

absorption and gravimetric added in Val-d’Or along with enlarged sample preparation facilities. New high-volume fire assay/atomic absorption-

gravimetric labs were built in Timmins (Sarah Albert - Manager) and Red Lake, Ontario (Dr. Evgueni Terentiev - Manager). Our Thunder Bay lab was

considerably expanded to 80,000 sq. ft. and now includes a new, much enlarged wet chemistry, ICP/MS, XRF, expanded ICP and atomic absorption

facilities in a fourth building. A new fire assay, atomic absorption and ICP lab will be ready in the spring of 2011 with sample preparation operational now

in Stewart, BC.

Our Ancaster lab expanded further with the addition of a new robotic fusion process established for our lithogeochemistry department. In addition, new

ICP/MS (three) and ICP/OES (three) were added to increase capacity substantially. In 2011 we added 2 more PE Elan 9000 DRC ICP/MS and still

more ICPs. Due to increased demand and additional services, five more GC/MS were added as well as two additional HPLCs, DNA instrumentation.

Construction will start in 2011 on a fourth building to add additional lab space and new services. This new facility will add approximately 300,000 sq. ft.

to the Ancaster facility.

ACTLABS is committed to bringing the most modern technologies and a higher level of competencies to the analytical laboratory for the mineral industry.

In little over a decade, the ACTLABS Group has become the world’s leading laboratory group providing Neutron Activation and ICP/MS services. We

continue to invest heavily in Research and Development of new products so that our clients can be at the forefront of exploration technology.

When submitting samples, please indicate on the Request for Analysis form if you require sample storage, disposal or if you require samples to be returned

after analysis. For returns, please include all necessary shipping information e.g., courier, account number, etc. Return of samples is done at cost. The

reject portion of samples prepared by Actlabs will be retained for a period of not more than 90 days from the date of final report. Pulps (prepared material)

will also be kept for a period of 90 days. Crusher reject or oversized sieve rejects will be saved on request only. Pulps and rejects stored at the customers

request will be subject to a storage charge (see sample submittal sheet for charges) billed quarterly. Irradiated material will be discarded after 30 days

unless prior arrangements are made. Return of radioactive material requires a Nuclear Safety Commission licence. Cost per shipment of radioactive

materials is €100.00 plus shipping costs. Disposal of soil, sediment or vegetation samples, which have entered Canada under a CFIA permit, will incur a

disposal cost for larger sample volumes.

Return of Data

Analytical reports can be returned via hard copy, CD-ROM, electronic mail (internet) or fax copy at the customers’ discretion for no additional charge. Data

is normally available in Excel format. Other formats are available on request. We have implemented a Laboratory Information Management System

(LIMS). Clients can track samples from sample reception and logging through to preparation, analysis and reporting.

Turnaround Time

Please enquire regarding turnaround time. Normal turnaround depends on the analytical package, sample volume as well as time of year. Excessively wet

samples may slow turnaround time, as will undocumented and unorganized shipments. RUSH Analysis: If you require analyses by a certain date, please

ensure that this is clearly noted on the Request for Analysis form. We will make every effort to meet your requirements, however, rush conditions will

require payment of a surcharge (i.e., 3 days – 200%, 1 week – 100%, 2 weeks – 50%). We can establish a WEBLIMS account for following the progress of

your sample analysis requests.PAGE 6

Sample PreparationTo obtain meaningful analytical results, it is imperative that sample collection and preparation be done properly. ACTLABS can

advise on sampling protocol for your field program if requested. Once the samples arrive in the laboratory, ACTLABS will

ensure that they are prepared properly. As a routine practice with rock and core, the entire sample is crushed to a nominal

minus 10 mesh (1.7 mm), mechanically split (riffle) to obtain a representative sample and then pulverized to at least 95% minus

150 mesh (105 microns). All of our steel mills are now mild steel and do not induce Cr or Ni contamination.

As a routine practice, we will automatically use cleaner sand between each sample at no cost to the customer. Quality of

crushing and pulverization is routinely checked as part of our quality assurance program. Randomization of samples in larger

orders (>100) provides an excellent means to monitor data for systematic errors. The data is resorted after analysis according

to sample number. Please request Code Random (additional €1.50/sample) if you prefer randomization.

Samples submitted in an unorganized fashion will be subject to a sorting surcharge and may substantially slow turnaround time.

Providing an accurate detailed sample list by e-mail will also aid in improving turnaround time and for Quality Control purposes.

Additional charges may apply for poorly organized batches. Code CP2 - Sample list not provided for orders over 25 samples

(€0.30/sample); Code CP3 - Sorting chaotic shipments (€0.55/sample).

All soil, sediment and vegetation coming from outside Canada require incineration prior to disposal under CFIA regulations. All pulps

and rejects will be returned to the client at cost. Disposal costs are additional. Pulps and rejects will incur a storage fee after the free

period listed below.

Notes:

• ** Code 1A4 or 1A4-1000 - A representative 500 gram or 1000 gram sample split is sieved at 100 mesh (150 micron),

with assays performed on the entire +100 mesh fraction and two splits of the -100 mesh fraction. It is important not to

overpulverize the sample too finely, as tests have shown gold will plate out on the mill and be lost. When assays have

been completed on the coarse and fine portions of the bulk sample, a final assay is calculated based on the weight of

each fraction. Price includes sample screening but not crushing and pulverizing.

• * Code 1B - Detection limits for Pt are increased with high Au/Pt ratios and limits for other elements will be affected by

abnormally high Au, Sb and Cu content. Samples with high Au can be reanalyzed by Code 1C exploration or research.

Zn concentrates are not amenable to the nickel sulphide fire assay.

Au results by Code 1B1 or 1B2 can be low by nickel sulphide fire assay. For accurate Au values, please request Code

1C-exploration.

Assay ProductsCode 8 - Assay Products

Assays provide quantitative determinations of elements in non-processed geological materials. Assays are usually required only

when the client knows or suspects higher levels of metals in samples. Geochemical methods generally provide lower detection

limits than assays. For lower levels, geochemical methods should be used. All assays are traceable to international reference

standards. Prices listed in our fee schedule are for normal geologic materials and are not for metallurgical products. Metallurgical

products such as heads and concentrates are handled separately to prevent contamination in the laboratory. These materials are

charged at five times the prices listed in our fee schedule.

Exploration Techniques for Specific Deposit Types

Code 8 - REE Assay Package. Rare Earth Element-Niobium-Zirconium-Yttrium-Tantalum-Uranium-

Thorium-Beryllium-Phosphate-Tin Assay ICP and ICP/MS Package

Rare earths and rare elements are among the most difficult to analyze properly. It is essential that the sample be ground to 95%-200 mesh to ensure

complete fusion of resistate minerals. The analysis requires a lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion with subsequent analysis by ICP and ICP/MS.

Mass balance is requried as an additional quality control technique and elemental totals of the oxides should be between 98 to 101%. In certain

circumstances the presence of small amounts of phosphate will have very severe consequences to Nb2O5 assays by this method with results being

very low for Nb2O5. Reanalysis is required for Nb2O5 by fusion XRF. In many cases these types of deposits may contain high amounts of fluorite. This

should be noted on the Request for Analysis form or F assays should be requested. This will speed up processing as mass balance won’t be achieved

otherwise and a delay in returning results will ensue as samples get repeated. IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD AN ACID DIGESTION OF ANY

TYPE BE USED TO EVALUATE THE ABOVE ELEMENTS AS THEY WILL ONLY BE PARTIAL ANALYSIS.

Code 8 - Uranium Assay Package

Total uranium can be determined by delayed neutron counting using an automated system at a nuclear reactor. The principle advantage of this is to

provide very rapid and accurate assays for high volumes of samples at a very low cost. The upper limit of this technique is 1%U. Results can be

reported as U or U3O8. From 1 to 10% U3O8 fusion XRF will provide the best quality assay results and above 10% U3O8 titration is recommended for

accuracy.

Acid digestion using both aqua regia and “4 acid near total” digestion with ICP/MS is also possible but uranium in resistate phases (zircon, monazite,

etc) may not be included in the assays. “Near Total” digestions may not be total for uranium depending on mineralogy. Hydroflouric acid is used in the

digestion and some uranium may be volatilized due to combination with the HF.

Geometallurgy (Automated Quantitative Mineralogy - MLA)Geometallurgy is an integrated methodology and multi-disciplinary field which aims to add value to a mineral deposit or resource while looking ahead at risk-

reduction and improved decision-making and cost-effective down-stream activities (e.g. development, pre-feasibility, feasibility and production). The objective of

successful Geometallurgy is quality ore-characterization and establishing links and relationships between geology, mineralogy and processing characteristics. In

this regard, quantitative mineralogy is key to this process.

MLA – Mineral Liberation Analyser

The Quanta 600F MLA Instrument at Actlabs is a state-of-the-art MLA system with superior resolution and performance over typical Scanning Electron

Microscope systems. The Field Emission Gun electron source makes for significantly higher resolution analysis relative to regular MLA and QemSCAN

technology. The system is equipped with specialized software and Energy Dispersive Spectrometers, and is capable of providing reliable numeric data on:

• Mineralogical composition (mineral identities and proportions)

• Distribution and deportment of elements of interest among host minerals

• Mineral grain size distributions

• Mineral association information

• Particle compositions and population distributions (with colour coded particle images)

• Mineralogically Limiting Grade-Recovery Curves

Services and Fees

Mineralogical sample preparation and methods differ from assay sample preparation in that features of particles and rock-fragments are measured as a matter of

routine. As a result, sample particle size distributions are typically coarser, sampling efficiency and protocols are different and often require greater time for

appropriate sub-sampling and measurement. In addition, the complexity of ores and the fact that element and mineral grade relationships are unknown prior to

analysis, means that the detection limits for minerals are not fixed. As a result, prices are presented as unit costs based on a standard, 30 mm diameter

polished section. Similarly, thin section analysis is presented for samples without any guarantee of representivity.

Actlabs offers mineralogical analysis of assay rejects, drill core, RC drilling chips, plant samples and most other forms of man-made and natural materials.MLA

can be applied to precious metals (Au, Pt, Pd, Ag), base metals (Cu, Ni, Co, Pb, Mo, Zn), ferrous and non-ferrous raw materials (Fe, Sn, Mn, W, Ta, Nb, U and

REE) and mineral sands.

Which digestion do I use?1. AQUA REGIA DIGESTION - This leach uses a combination of concentrated hydrochloric and nitric acids to leach sulphides,

some oxides and some silicates. Mineral phases which are hardly (if at all) attacked include barite, zircon, monazite,

sphene, chromite, gahnite, garnet, ilmenite, rutile and cassiterite. The balance of silicates and oxides are only slightly to

moderately attacked, depending on the degree of alteration. Generally, but not always, most base metals and gold are

usually dissolved if the sample is ground finely enough.

2. “TOTAL” DIGESTION - This acid attack is the most vigorous used in geochemistry. It will employ hydrochloric, nitric,

perchloric and hydrofluoric acids. Even with this digestion, certain minerals (barite, gahnite, chromite and cassiterite) may

not go into solution. Other minerals including zircon, sphene and magnetite may not be totally dissolved. Most other

silicates will be dissolved, however some elements will be erratically volatilized, including Si, As, Sb, Cr, U and Au. Total

digestions cannot be used for accurate determinations of REE, Ta, Nb, As, Sb, Sn, Hf, Cr, Au and Si.

3. FUSION TECHNIQUE - The most aggressive fusion technique employs a lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion. The resulting

molten bead is rapidly digested in a weak nitric acid solution. The fusion ensures that the entire sample is dissolved. It is

only with this attack that major oxides including SiO2 , REE and other high field strength elements are put into solution.

High sulphide bearing rocks may require different treatment, but can still be adequately analyzed.

NOTE: Results from aqua regia or total digestions may be lab dependent or lab operator dependent. Actlabs has automated this

aspect of digestion using a microprocessor designed hotbox to accurately reproduce digestion conditions every time.

Trace Element Geochemistry

Code 1EPI/MS - The “Au+23” group of elements is similar to Code 1EPI but includes a suite of elements by ICP/MS to provide virtually all

elements used for epithermal gold exploration. The multielement acid attack will only dissolve the soluble forms of barium, while INAA will

provide the total barium concentration. The total Ba to soluble Ba ratio will be a direct indicator of barite concentration. Code 1EPI/MS

Enhanced is available which offers Au - 2 ppb, As - 0.5 ppm, Sb - 0.1 ppm for an additional €2.50 per sample (35 g required). See

Code 1E for notes on base metals.

Code 1D - The sample is encapsulated, irradiated and measured in a multielement mode by INAA for Au+34 elements. The elements in this

package are determined non-destructively and the total metals help the geologist determine rock types, alteration and pathfinder elements.

The 30 g aliquot provides a representative sample size for gold analysis (0.5 to 30 g required).

Code 1D enhanced - This INAA package is similar to Code 1D but has enhanced detection limits. This package has become very popular for

rock, soil, lake sediment and stream sediment samples (0.5 to 30 g required).

Code 1E - This package determines a base metal suite and sulphide sulphur by an aqua regia extraction with an ICP/OES finish.

If accuracy better than +/- 10-15% is required for higher level samples we recommend assays (Code 8) (+/- 3%) for Cu, Zn and Ni over

10,000 ppm and certainly over 50,000 ppm. Assays are also recommended for Pb >5000 ppm and Ag >100 ppm due to potential solubility

problems. Values exceeding these limits are estimates and are provided for information only. (0.5 g of sample required).

Prices: first element €6.00; each additional element €2.50.

Code 1E1 - This analytical package uses the same digestion as Code 1E. The same comments apply as in Code 1E for base metals. In

addition, a variety of other elements are obtained non-quantitatively since chromite, barite, silicates, magnetite, sphene and some other

mineral phases are not soluble with this digestion. Zinc in gahnite or sphene will not be soluble in aqua regia and all Ni in silicate phases

may not be totally leachable. (0.5 g of sample required).

Code1E2, 1E3 - These are similar to Code 1E1, but offer an enhanced list of analytes. (0.5 g of sample is required).

Code 1F, 1F2 - These packages uses a “near total” digestion employing HF, HClO4, HNO3 and HCl to get as much of the sample into solution

as possible without fusing the sample. The resulting metals are determined by ICP/OES. Sulphide sulphur is included. The sulphur

associated with barite will not be dissolved. Other phases which may not be totally digested include zircon, monazite, sphene, gahnite,

chromite, magnetite, barite, cassiterite, ilmenite and rutile. The same comments apply as in Code 1E for base metals. (0.25 g of sample

required).

Code ULTRATRACE-1 - This partial extraction is analyzed by ICP/MS to provide lower detection limits. Upper limits are up to

20,000 times the detection limits. Au is semi-quantitative. (0.5 g of sample is required).

Code ULTRATRACE-2 - This combines ULTRATRACE-1 with Code 1E2 to provide a few additional elements from the ICP/OES

as well as extend the upper limits of the ULTRATRACE-2 elements. Au is semi-quantitative. (0.5 g of sample is required).

Code 1H “Au+49” - This package provides a trace element scan for virtually all types of economic mineralization. It also provides useful

information on alteration, rock types, and pathfinder elements. The Code 1D enhanced (INAA) and Code 1F (4-acid digestion ICP

technique) provide 49 elements. The elements determined by INAA are Au, As, Ba, Br, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, Fe, Hf, Hg, Ir, La, Lu, Na, Nd,

Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Sm, Sn, Ta, Th, Tb, U, W and Yb. The remaining elements are determined by the 4 acid ICP (Code 1F above) technique.

SiO2 is not analyzed due to volatilization. (0.75 - 35 g required depending on sample size you wish to be analyzed for Au).

Code 1H2 “Au+53” - This package is similar to Code 1H but also uses ICP/MS on an acid digest solution to obtain additional elements. If Au is

important, a larger sample size (up to 35 g) should be submitted.

Code ULTRATRACE-3 - This combines INAA, 4-acid digestion ICP and ICP/MS analysis to provide the most comprehensive

near total metal package available using an acid digestion. Note that this package is not suitable for chrondrite plots

as not all REE are quantitatively extracted from zircon, monazite, etc. (1.0 to 35 g of sample required).

Code ULTRATRACE-4 - Near total digestion employing an ICP/MS finish (0.5 g of sample required) This digestion may not be

completely total if resistate minerals are present. As, Sb and Cr may be partially volatilized.

Code ULTRATRACE-5 - Combines INAA with a 4-acid digestion (HF, HClO4, HNO3 and HCl) to attempt to give as total metal as is

possible with acids. Some of the resistate elements are provided by INAA.

Code ULTRATRACE-6 - Combines the 4-acid digestion (HF, HClO4, HNO3 and HCl) with analysis by ICP and ICP/MS. Resistate minerals are

not digested.

Code ULTRATRACE-7 - Combines a sodium peroxide Fusion with ICP and ICP/MS. All metals are solubilized

Notes:

Code 4A - Both the exploration and research grades are determined by INAA.

A minimum sample weight of 2 g is recommended. REE chondrite plots are

provided at no charge with the research grade or at €1.50 per sample for the

exploration grade. For elements indicated with † (Code 4A RES/MS) by fusion

ICP/MS, add €27.00.

Codes 4B, 4B2-STD, 4B2-RESEARCH, 4LITHO, 4LITHORESEARCH - Actlabs has

developed a lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion ICP Whole Rock Package Code

4B and a trace element ICP/MS package Code 4B2 which is unique for scope of

elements and detection limits. The two packages are combined for Code 4Litho

and Code 4Lithoresearch. The quality of whole rock data in Code 4B meets or

exceeds quality of data by fusion XRF Code 4C, the old standard in whole rock

analysis. The fusion process ensures total metals particularly for elements like REE

in resistate phases. (This may not be the case for acid digestions, particularly for

heavy rare earths and other elements contained in refractory minerals like zircon,

sphene, monazite, chromite, gahnite and several other phases. If refractory

minerals are not digested, a bias may occur for certain REE and HFSE with acid

digestions). Quality of data is exceptional and can be used for the most exacting

applications. The trace element package by ICP/MS, Codes 4B2-STD or 4B2-

RESEARCH, on the fusion solution provides research quality data whether using

standard or research detection limits. Eu determinations are semiquantitative in

samples having extremely high Ba concentrations (greater than 1%). This

package is intended primarily for unmineralized samples. Mineralized samples canbe analyzed, however, data may be semiquantitative for chalcophile elements (Ag,As, Bi, Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, W and Zn). When quantitative values for thechalcophile elements are required on mineralized samples, please indicate asCode 4B2-STDQUANT, 4B2-RESEARCHQUANT, 4LITHOQUANT or4LITHORESEARCHQUANT, and a surcharge of €20.50 per sample will apply. Aminimum sample weight of 5 g is required. Elements with (+) are available (Code

4B1) for an additional €8.25 per sample. Those indicated with (++) are available

by INAA (Code 4B-INAA) for an additional €14.75 per sample. Please add 0.5

to 30 g depending on sample size you prefer to analyze for Au with this option.

Values on replicates and standards are provided at no cost, as are REE plots.

Code 4C, 4C Laterite - The tried and true fusion XRF whole rock package. Samples

containing high barite or high sulphide (greater than 1%) should be analyzed with

Code 4B. A minimum sample weight of 3 g is required. We reserve the right to

change analytical method to Code 4B if required by the sample composition.

Code 4C1 - This XRF pressed pellet method requires a minimum sample weight of 6 g.

The XRF pressed pellet method is only suitable for low metal content of below

1% for each element listed.

Prices: 1st element - €9.75; each additional - €3.50; ** lot - €17.50; * lot -

€17.50. Each element not in * or **, add €3.50 per element.

Code 4E - This unique package uses ICP, INAA, ICP/MS and XRF technologies to

completely characterize geological samples. Two different grades of analysis

(exploration and research) are provided depending upon your requirements.

This package is not suitable for analyzing concentrates or mill products. A

minimum sample weight of 5 g is required).

Code 4E Options

• Ga, Pb, Sn, Nb and Rb (Code 4E-XRF) indicated by (***) by Pressed Pellet XRF

add €17.50. This package can be added to Code 4E exploration or Code 4E

research (please add 6 g of sample).

• The Code 4E ICP/MS add-on option (detection limits indicated by +++) can only

be added to Code 4E research grade at an additional cost of €29.00.

• Any selections from Code 4F can be added to Code 4E exploration or research

Code 4F - Other analyses associated with WRA (can be added to any

Code 4 package). Add 1 gram for each option chosen.

Code 2A - HumusCode 2B - Vegetation

INAA provides a very cost effective,rapid means of analyzing humus orvegetation to very low detection limitsfor gold and many other elementsuseful for geochemical exploration.The organic material is dried below60°C, macerated and a 15 g aliquot iscompressed into a briquette andanalyzed using Code 2A or Code 2Bdepending on whether the material ispurely organic (Code 2B) or containsmineral matter (Code 2A). Thesebriquettes are irradiated and theirgamma ray spectra are measured andquantified. The advantages of thistechnique are simplicity (less chanceof human error and contamination,ashing is costly and the results in lossof gold) and INAA is the techniquewith ultimate sensitivity for gold andother trace elements. Prices listed inCodes 2A and 2B are for standard 15g briquettes. Selected elements maybe available at lower costs.

Code 2C - Vegetation Ash INAACode 2C1 - Vegetation Ash-ICP/OESCode 2D - Vegetation Ash-ICP/MS

Some geologists prefer ashingsamples at low temperature (480°C)and determining metals on the ash.This may be advantageous,particularly if base metals are alsorequired for your gold project or forbase metal exploration. Note whensamples are ashed, there may bevolatile loss of certain elements (Au, As, Br, Hg, Cd, etc). Results arereported on an ash weight basis.Code 2D uses a proprietary aciddigestion on the ash followed byICP/MS and extends the list ofelements which are available. Not allelements may be total. This packagecan be quite useful for diamondexploration. Prices for Code 2C1 forsingle element is €5.00 with eachadditional element costing €2.25.

Code 2EThis package is similar to Code 2Dbut requires a different digestion of theplant ash to obtain Au, Pt and Pd tolow levels. This method has beenshown to be very effective for PGEexploration.

Code 2FDry vegetation samples are dissolvedin acid and analyzed by HighResolution ICP/MS.

Code 2F-PGEActlabs has developed a new packagecapable of detecting the PGE invegetation at the sub-ppb level bymicrowave digestion, ion exchangeand High Resolution ICP/MS. Thismethod eliminates interferences.

Actlabs only ashes vegetation indedicated vegetation ashing furnaces

to avoid contamination.

Heavy Mineral Concentrates

Why HMC?

Heavy minerals can be concentrated from glacial till

samples or from stream sediments. The theory behind

the use of heavy mineral concentrates relies on the fact

that by concentrating the heavy mineral fraction from the

sample, the dilutant light minerals which may obscure an

anomaly derived from a deposit are eliminated, providing

a clearer picture. This allows the minerals to be

examined under a binocular microscope, SEM or

electron microprobe for particle shape or composition.

Particle shape of gold grains will commonly identify

distance to source. Very abraded grains may have

travelled a good distance whereas delicate grains are

probably more local. Similarly for diamond exploration,

the presence of certain mineral phases may indicate

distance to source kimberlites. Bulk analysis of heavy

minerals provides a rapid, low cost method to screen

large volumes of samples. Samples with appropriate

chemistry can then be further evaluated as the INAA

technique is non-destructive.

Heavy mineral concentrates are usually prepared by

tabling or wet sieving a very large sample of till or

stream sediments (up to 20 kg may be routine). The

heavy mineral concentrate collected at this stage is then

further processed with heavy liquids using

methylene iodide (SG = 3.3). The resultant concentrate

then is separated into magnetic and non-magnetic

fractions and it is the non-magnetic fraction which is

usually analyzed. In some cases more elaborate

separations include separating paramagnetic fractions

and sieving to various particle sizes before analysis.

This may provide further insight into identifying the

source of the heavy minerals. Both gold and diamond

mines have been discovered using this technology.

Code 3A - Heavy Mineral Concentrates

(Thermal Irradiation)

Heavy mineral concentrates prepared from reverse

circulation drilling samples or from panned concentrates

are expensive to collect. The nugget effect may require

that the entire sample be analyzed to ensure that the few

particles of gold which may be present can be measured.

With INAA the whole concentrate can be analyzed without

grinding the samples. The sample is therefore preserved

for other chemical or mineralogical work. Actlabs only

irradiates with thermal neutrons so as to avoid low gold

values due to self shielding effects from irradiation with

epithermal neutrons. The price varies depending on the

volume of concentrate to be analyzed. There are 3 vial

sizes available: small (2 g), medium (20 g) or large (60 g).

Actual weight may vary depending on mineralogy.

Code 3C - HMC Base Metals by Aqua Regia ICP

When the analyses by INAA are completed, the sample is

available to determine additional elements by other

analytical techniques. Code 3C is a frequently requested

Aqua Regia extraction ICP/OES package (0.5 g required).

First element price for Code 3C is €5.00 with each

additional element costing €2.25. Code 3C may

require the sample to be pulverized finer, if coarser than

80 mesh, (+175 micron) at an additional cost.

Prices:

Small vial (2 g) €16.00 €9.50

Medium vial (20 g) €18.00

Large vial (60 g) €21.50

Code 6 is applicable only to natural waters with low total dissolved solid content (<0.05%). We must reanalyze samples with >25ppm

Na, K and Sr and >100 ppm of Ca, Mg and Si if quantitative numbers are required for these elements (Code 6-ICP/OES Overrange -

€16.50). Any individual cations greater than the limit above will be reported as (>) unless the ICP/OES option is chosen. Samples

submitted under all Code 6 packages (with exception of Code 6 Dissolved and Code 6 Total Recoverable mentioned below) will be

analyzed on the supernatant portion of waters as received, acidified to pH <2 without filtration or digestion. The Code 6 Dissolved

package includes filtration with 0.45µ filters while the Code 6 Total Recoverable Natural Waters package include water digestion

according to EPA protocols. Samples will be analyzed on the supernatant portion of waters as received, acidified to pH <2 without

filtration. Analysis of waste waters and other solutions are available, but at varying costs. Please inquire. Samples submitted as

natural waters, but with elevated total dissolved solids (TDS >0.05%) will be charged as marine waters. Waters from experimental

studies should be analyzed as Code 6 EXPER. Detection limits for samples with high dissolved solids such as marine waters or

brines, may be elevated by a factor of 10-1000†.

ACTLABS has a High Resolution Magnetic Sector ICP/MS (Finnegan Mat ELEMENT 2). This instrument allows detection of

most elements one to two orders of magnitude lower than conventional quadrupole ICP/MS. In addition, use of high resolution

technology eliminates most interferences. Code 6 HR-ICP/MS provides better detection limits than Code 6 ICP/MS. Other

elements are also available with 1-2 orders of magnitude lower detection limits than Code 6 ICP/MS. Many elements can be

analyzed on brines to low detection limits by eliminating the matrix. This is indicated as Code 6 Ion exchange. Please inquire.

Metal Speciation in Water

Our research activities over the last few years have allowed us to link the capillary electrophoresis and HPLC techniques to

conventional ICP/MS or High Resolution ICP/MS. Using as little as 5 µg/L of solution, we can conveniently speciate a number of

metals for their inorganic or organic metal species. This allows determination of a number of metal species sequentially. ACTLABS

can consult on the best ways to preserve samples for speciation analysis.

Helpful Hints

The conventional method of preservation of water for analysis is 0.2% (2 mL/L) of concentrated ultra pure nitric acid. This may be inadequate in

alkaline environments. The acid should be added only after the sample has been collected, and not as precharged acid in bottles which may leach

metals from the bottle. When filling the bottle, it should be rinsed with the sample water twice before retaining the sample. It should then be acidified.

A test of pH using pH paper will indicate if the pH after acidification is adequate (pH 2). Depending on the sample composition, preservation with nitric

may invalidate Ag, As, Br and I analyses. Preservation with acetic acid should be used in that case, however acetic acid can invalidate results for Cr.

Some customers do not add any stabilizing agents, since this has the potential for adding trace contaminants to the samples and causing analytical

problems. A study conducted by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) has indicated that low cost, high-density screw cap polyethylene bottles

(rinsed with water) are best. We require 30 mL of water for analysis. Conventional wisdom recommends storage at 4ºC. Studies by the GSC

indicate that this may not be necessary where samples are acidified < pH 2. Samples for Hg should be preserved with 0.5% BrCl as the GSC study

indicates the conventional preservation method of K2Cr2O7 in 0.1% HNO3 may be inadequate to keep Hg in solution. We require 30 mL of water for

Hg. Do not freeze water as it will cause precipitation of some elements. Samples should be shipped to the lab as soon as possible for analysis.

Stability tests indicate most samples are stable for at least 30 days and can be stable for a year or more (British Columbia Geological Survey) even

when stored at room temperature. Gold unfortunately is not stable and will be adsorbed onto the sides of the bottle within a short period of time

(hours). Addition of activated charcoal sachets can collect the gold which can then be analyzed by INAA. Further information is available from

ACTLABS on request. Samples for ion chromatography should not be preserved at all. Code 6 HR-ICP/MS method removes these metals from the

plastic bottle and puts it back into solution for analysis directly by HR-ICP/MS.

Soil Gas Hydrocarbons (SGH) Geochemistry

Sample Type and Survey Design: It is highly recommended that at least a minimum of 50 sample “locations” is used in a survey to obtain

enough samples into background areas on both sides of small targets (wet gas plays, Kimberlite pipes, Uranium Breccia pipes, veins, etc.).

More samples are recommended for large targets. SGH must have enough samples over both the target and background areas in order to

fully study the dispersion patterns or geochromatography of the SGH Pathfinder Classes of compounds. For the ideal survey we further

suggest that all samples be evenly spaced with about one-third of the samples over the target and one-third on each side of the target or into

background areas in order for SGH to be used for exploration.

SGH has been shown to be very robust to the use of different sample types even “within” the same survey or transect. It is far more

important to the interpretation to take a complete sample transect or grid than to skip samples due to different sample media. It is beneficial

to take a consistent type of samples when possible such as in colour and texture and from similar depth. It is suggested that the survey

design use evenly spaced samples from 15 metres to 200 metres and line spacing from 50 metres to 500 metres depending on the size and

type of target. A 4:1 ratio has shown excellent results. SGH can also be used in larger regional surveys. Individual samples taken at

significant distances from the main survey area to represent background are not of value in the SGH interpretation as SGH results are not

background subtracted. Samples should be “fist” sized (50-100 grams), can be drip dried in the field and do not need special preservation

for shipping.

SGH Price: €42.00 per sample. (Code SGH)

A minimum of 50 sample locations per target is required to obtain the best results.

Volume discounts may apply, please enquire.

Relative or UTM coordinates must accompany the samples when submitted.

Sample preparation charges are additional (Code S4). Sample disposal charges also apply.

This pricing includes an interpretation and an SGH Interpretation Report for your survey(s) against one SGH target template. Additional

interpretations for other target types can be made using the same SGH data at a price of €880.00 per survey. Requests for SGH

interpretations requiring the combination of multiple surveys from different submissions will be at a price of €880.00 per survey. The typical

turnaround time for SGH results, including the SGH interpretation report, is three weeks for one survey against one SGH target template.

For more information, please contact Mr. Dale Sutherland (dalesutherland@actlabsint.com) or 1.905.648.9611 x 114.

• SGH is deep penetrating, detecting mineral targets at over 500 metres and petroleum targets at over 1000 metres in

depth to date. Relatively shallow targets of 10 metres can be delineated equally as well.

• SGH detects heavier, unique, and more robust hydrocarbon based compounds in the C5 to C17 carbon number range

and not the gaseous C1 to C4 hydrocarbons that the name implies. The SGH compounds provide a signature directly

related to bacteriological interaction with the target at depth. These unique and specific compounds have also been

selected to essentially eliminate interferences and effects of cultural activity.

• SGH can be conducted on a wide range of sample types, not just soils. Successful surveys have used soil from a

variety of horizons, as well as sand, humus, peat, till, submerged lake-bottom sediments and even snow. This flexibility

is vital in areas that are challenging to sample and ensures that none of the intended samples in a planned survey are

missed.

• SGH interpretation templates have been defined and include SGH Pathfinder Classes for Copper, Gold, Nickel, Zinc, and

Uranium targets; VMS, SEDEX, Polymetallic, IOCG and PGE based deposits, as well as for Kimberlites. SGH is also an

excellent geochemistry for petroleum based targets such as oil plays, wet gas, and coal. These general templates have

also been applicable to a wide variety of lithologies; e.g. sediment-hosted, massive-sulphide, epithermal, vein and

disseminated, porphyry, placer, and polymetallic type deposits.

• SGH is discriminating. This geochemistry has been said to be a “REDOX cell locator” but has also been proven to be

able to discriminate between ore-bearing vs barren conductors; between mineral targets and granitic or graphitic

magnetic anomalies.

• SGH has been directly linked to geophysical results such as from airborne magnetic surveys, and induced potential

surveys (e.g. IP, CSAMT).

• SGH is blind to the inorganic content of samples and thus does not reflect mobilized anomalies or any nugget effects.

• SGH has been thoroughly researched in three CAMIRO (Canadian Mining Industry Research Organization) projects as

well as projects conducted by Geoscience-BC; the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS); USGS; AMIRA; CSIRO; University

based projects; and individual company sponsored projects. These studies have demonstrated that SGH is capable of

providing clear, easily identifiable, target related anomalies even in surveys where no other geochemistry has been of

value.

• SGH results are delivered in an Excel spreadsheet accompanied by an SGH Interpretation Report (> 20 pages). The

report includes a comparative rating of your results against research over similar target types.

• SGH has been used successfully to discover several new, previously un-drilled mineral deposits.

This is an “organic” based geochemistry that has been researched and refined since 1996. It has been found to have a high level of

performance and success. A large number of clients that use SGH for the first time send in orientation surveys over known mineralization to

test this organic geochemistry. These clients have observed excellent correlation as 80% of them have returned as repeat clients and

submit larger exploration surveys. SGH is a dual purpose geochemistry as it locates and identifies the target at depth as a vertical

projection.

SGH has some unique and powerful traits such as:

Many ore bodies are buried beneath thick sequences of exotic overburden, lake beds, barren

bedrock or younger volcanic rocks. Exploration geologists require a cost-effective method of

finding blind mineralisation through deep cover. Enzyme LeachSM, and TerraSolSM, and our other

selective extraction products provide the means to do this.

Enzyme Leach SM is one of the most discriminating of the selective analytical extractions in use

today. It is capable of detecting extremely subtle geochemical anomalies developed in B-horizon

soils over and around blind deposits. Conventional partial leaches, like aqua regia extraction-ICP,

extract metals from sulphides, oxides and silicates, providing a partial composition of the

overburden. Enzyme LeachSM on the other hand, tends to detect the very subtle trace element

signatures that have been added to the soil by elements migrating to the surface through a variety

of mechanisms. Trace amounts of amorphous mixed-oxide coatings in soil act as an effective

long-term integrating collector of this subtle flux of cations, anions and polar molecules passing

through the soil. By selectively removing the amorphous manganese dioxide from these coatings,

the mixed oxide coatings collapse, releasing trapped trace elements. Thus, Enzyme LeachSM

provides an effective method of detecting the most subtle signatures of blind deposits in the

subsurface without swamping the signal by dissolving the major components of the overburden.

At this time, the greatest depth of penetration for Enzyme LeachSM for a mineral deposit is greater

than 800 metres.

TerraSol SM is a more aggressive leach that attacks all components of amorphous mixed-oxide

coatings and certain crystalline iron and manganese oxides. TerraSolSM performs best over

shallower mineral deposits.

Pattern recognition is the key to proper interpretation of Enzyme LeachSM and TerraSolSM data,

since anomaly patterns can be different from conventional geochemical data. Selective

extractions have been shown to work effectively in both acidic and alkaline environments, and

have been used successfully in desert, tropical, glacial and permafrost terrains.

Preparation and AnalysisAfter B-horizon soil materials are collected, they are air dried or dried in special rooms kept below

40°C. It is imperative that the samples not be placed in drying ovens as it is impossible to

guarantee consistency of drying temperature even in temperature controlled ovens. Samples

then undergo the proprietary Enzyme LeachSM and TerraSolSM under rigidly controlled conditions.

The resultant solutions are analyzed by ICP/MS.

Code 7 majors is an option for those wishing data on major elements and S in the leach solution. The request for Code 7 MAJORS must be made atthe same time as the selective extraction. Detection limits shown in ppm.

NEWNEW Bioleach Through years of research by ACTLABS supported by CAMIRO (Canadian Mineral

Research Organization) with our SGH technology, ACTLABS has proven that

microbiological processes are exceptionally important for the mobilization of metals from

a mineral deposit to the surface. The exact mobilization mechanisms are still under

debate however a wide variety of mechanisms including mobilization and fixation as a

result of redox conditions, migration as a gas, hydromorphic transport are some of the

most quoted possibilities. Specific bacteria feed off the redox cell established at the

mineral deposit. SGH provides a unique ability to identify the location of the redox cell

ACTLABS new BIOLEACH technology has been designed

to digest remnant bacteria which will help to potentially

identify the metals associated with the SGH anomalies.

Bioleach-HR has also now been used very successfully in analysis of vegetation. The

very low detection limits are achievable using our High-Resolution ICP/MS technique.

All elements are in ppb.

Standard Reference MaterialsDo you always send control standards along with your samples to the lab?

Standard Reference Materials (SRM) of known elemental composition play an important roll in the

quality assurance (QA) of grass roots exploraiton programs and development projects. SRMs are

developed to meet measurement needs and as control samples. They provide a known, well

characterized entity to compare and evaluate laboratory anaysis results. Unfortunately not all

laboratory results are the same despite the fact they may be generated by the same analytical

method such as fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. There are variations to the technique

that each lab uses as well as a variety of calibration procedures which may lead to vastly different

results on your samples. Some of these differences include amount of litharge in the flux, the flux to

sample ratio, reuse of the same crucibles, age and state of repair of instrumentation, diligence of

analysts in calibration, age of standards, sample preparation, etc. Using hidden SRMs with values

only known to you on your standards provides an excellent means to judge accuracy and precision

of the labs you are using. This is critical for the QP to avoid future embarassment and undermine

confidence in results in the investor’s mind on the reliability of results.

In order to provide the exploration market with SRMs, Actlabs has developed a set of rigorous sample

preparation procedures. We can use natural soils, rock, ores or sediments collected by the client

from their project area so their matrix is matched (best case scenario on your samples). Samples

from 1 and up to 125 kg can be prepared as an SRM. The whole sample is dried at 60 degrees, then

is crushed, pulverized and screened with a #200 mesh stainless-steel sieve. The resulting pulp goes

through a blending step using a Stainless Steel V industrial blender. The blend is achieved by the

constant dividing and inter-meshing particle movement by the two connected cylinders. Inside the

blender is a high-speed agitator bar to thoroughly mix the sample. Each cylindrical leg has an access

cover for easy material loading and cleaning.

A homogeneity test will show that all elements in the mixture were distributed evenly within the

material. After results of the homogeneity testing are determined, the mixed material is packed in

plastic bottles or in sealed foil pouches under nitrogen (to prevent oxidation of sulphides).

Any suggested elements or group of elements can be certified. Actlabs can certify concentration of

elements by using any digestion you will use for your projects or for total metals. As we have perhaps

the most diverse lab with virtually all instrumentation including fire assay (nickel sulphide and lead),

atomic absorption, gravimetric, ICP, ICP/MS, HR-ICP/MS, XRF, INAA, CNHS analyzers and many

more, we can develop values or can go round robin to other labs to certify values.

Major, minor and trace elements can be determined, and the results will be tabulated together with

the analytical methods and the outline of sample treatment procedures as well as accepted limits for

the standards.

For more information, please call or email us with your request using Code 20-Std as a reference.

Sequential Leaches

Sequential leaches can target specific soil or rock phases and allow a better

interpretation of the geochemical processes involved. There is a static and

dynamic approach to the leaching. With the static approach, a sample will

undergo sequentially a leaching process starting with the weakest leach to the

strongest leach with subsequent analysis of each of the leachates by ICP/MS.

Some of the potential leaches which can be combined sequentially include from

the weakest to the strongest:

Code 7 - Water A distilled water leach to extract the water soluble

component

Code 7 - Enhanced Selectively goes after amorphous Mn oxides

Enzyme Leach

Code 7 - Bioleach A leach proprietary to ACTLABS that has been

designed to extract dead bacterial remnants

Code 7 - Sodium Acetate For exchangeable cations adsorbed by clay and

Leach pH 5 elements co-precipitated with carbonates

Code 7 - Sodium 0.1M leach for elements adsorbed by organic

Pyrophosphate material (humic and fulvic components)

Leach

Code 7 - Hydroxylamine For amorphous Fe oxides and crystalline Mn

Leach cold oxides

Code 7 -Hydroxylamine For amorphous and crystalline Fe oxides and

Leach hot crystalline Mn oxides.

Code 7 - Aqua Regia Will leach sulphide species and clay minerals

Code 7 - Four Acid Will dissolve silicate remnant material remaining

Digestion

Price: €33.50 per leach chosen with a €166.50 setup charge per leach chosen

if there are under 10 samples.

The dynamic approach involves sequential leaching on a sample packed

column on-line with one leach following the other in close succession and then

graphically examining the leaches (costs are dependant on the required

protocol and number of leaches).

XRD - X-Ray DiffractionMineralogy by Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) - Major Phases PresentPowder X-ray diffraction is one of the most powerful techniques for the identification of minerals in geological and industrial samples and the technique

of choice for: Whole rock mineral identification, Clay speciation, Identification of crystalline forms of silica - Alpha Quartz and Christobalite.

Mineral IdentificationMost Minerals are crystalline and therefore scatter X-rays in a regular, characteristic way dependant on their crystal structure. Each mineral producesa unique diffraction pattern and can be recognized from that pattern like a fingerprint.

Identification of minerals is made by comparing their diffraction patterns with a library of over 17,000 mineral patterns stored in the International Centre

for Diffraction Data (ICDD).

Detection limits depend on the sample. For geological material, it is estimated that the minerals present in less than 3% of the sample might not be

detected.

The samples for X-ray diffraction analysis are ground or milled to a fine powder and then hand pressed into the sample holder. Approximately 1 cm3 of

the material is sufficient for rock mineral analysis but smaller amounts can also be accommodated by using a low background holder.

Clay SpeciationX-ray diffraction, combined with dedicated sample preparation, is the most effective technique for precise identification of clay minerals.

For speciation, the clay fraction is separated from the whole rock sample and the clay is deposited on a substrate. Due to their plate morphology, clay

particles spontaneously orient themselves along the basal planes, thus reinforcing characteristic reflections and allowing preliminary identification of

the mineral group(s). The oriented clay sample is then treated in various ways: exposed to ethylene glycol, glycerol or heated, to identify the clay

minerals with precision. The swelling and non-swelling clays react differently to ethylene glycol; the swelling clays accommodate the glycol molecules

between the atomic layers with simultaneous increase in distances between the layers. Since the X-ray diffraction is very sensitive to changes in the

interlayer distances, shifts in the peak positions are observed in the swelling clays. Upon heating to various temperatures the layers collapse and the

peak positions change again. Since clays respond differently to these diagnostic treatments, they can be identified.

Our routine clay speciation includes: clay separation, examination of oriented dry clay fraction, ethylene glycol treatment, heating to 400°C, heating to

550°C, examination of random dry powder. If necessary, additional treatments can be performed at additional costs.

The amount of sample required for clay speciation depends on the amount of clay fraction present. Since several oriented mounts have to be

prepared, the required amount of sample is typically 10 - 15 g, or more. Unprepared samples are required.

Alpha QuartzThe quantification of crystalline silica phases (Alpha Quartz) in bulk samples is carried out as an extension of the usual quantitative XRD procedures(absorption correction, internal/external standard methods and whole pattern analysis) depending on the sample. Several grams of sample arerequired.

In cases where industrial applications may cause silica to become airborne, the samples are collected and analyzed on filter membranes, following the

guidelines of NIOSH 7500 or OSHA ID-142 Methods for respirable Alpha Quartz.

Determination of concentration of amorphous silica is performed following NIOSH Method 7501. The method uses the property that most amorphous

forms of silica transform to cristobalite with heat treatment at 1100°C or 1500°C. After firing, the sample is analyzed for cristobalite following steps

similar to Method 7500.

(v) high precision determination of the concentration of the mother and daughter isotopes by TIMS

(thermal ionization mass spectrometry)

(vi) apparent age calculation and interpretation of the results

The dating strategy depends on the type of formation (magmatic, metamorphic or sedimentary), the sample composition and the age of the formation. The

concentration of the mother and the daughter isotopes, as well as the apparent age can be determined with high precision. In many cases, however, the

determined age may not be the real age of the geological event. The apparent age may be affected by the post-depositional or post-formation history of the

rocks. Natural contamination of chemical sediments with detrital material can also affect the results of dating of diagenesis.

There are some techniques and calculations which can "look through" the post formation event. These include isochron dating (K-Ar, U-Pb, Rb-Sr and Sm-

Nd) or the step heating Ar-Ar technique of the K-Ar method. In the Ar-Ar technique, the K and Ar are measured on the same sample aliquot. First the

sample is irradiated in a nuclear reactor, where fast neutrons convert some of the 39K to 39Ar. After irradiation, the Ar is released fractionally by incremental

heating. The result is a series of apparent ages from which useful information about the geologic history and the age of the sample can be inferred.

Specific techniques for dating clay fractions have also been developed.

Our geochronological services provide dating methods for all types of geological samples through use of modern analytical facilities. We can advise on

selecting the method of dating, sampling and interpretation of the data so that meaningful geological results are obtained.

For the dating of a monomineralic sample only tens of milligrams of sample are required. For rocks, a few hundred milligrams are typically used for analysis.

Size of the rock sample required will vary considerably for mineral separation depending on which minerals must be separated and the amount and type of

the accessory minerals present.
