30 Seconds of Info: QAQC – from Ian Glacken

Don’t forget density QAQC:  In some orebodies the bulk density or specific gravity is not a major contributor to the outcome, but in the majority of deposits it is as important to get density right as it is to ensure correct assays.  This means having a density standard (an aluminium cylinder is preferred) and thinking about doing density duplicate measurements.  The concept of a blank is not so applicable.  Of course correct bulk density determination is critical for an orebody with oxide and transitional weathered material.
