This week's 30 Seconds of Info comes from Ian Glacken - Director of Geology. 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. iglacken@snowdenoptiro.com
