statistical analysis of the data warrants classification as provisional despite only 6 sets of data
data fulfilled the conditions for certified but the element was reclassified as provisional since the between-laboratory standard deviation is approximately 20% of the mean and a considerable amount of the data has only one significant figure

only 5 labs submitted data and only one of which provided full details: ignition of 1 g for 1 hour at 1000°C
samples of 1-10 grams were dried for 1 or more hours at 105°C; a range is given due to the lack of agreement in the data
 

SOURCE
MP-2a is a tungsten-molydenum ore obtained from the Mount Pleasant property in New Brunswick, Canada. The raw material for MP-2a was donated by Adex Minerals Corp and was obtained from the same source as its predecessor, MP-2.

DESCRIPTION
The mineral species include: quartz (64.9%), topaz (6.3%), clinochlore (5.1%), fluorite (5.1%), muscovite (5.1%), almandine (3.3%), orthoclase (3.0%), plagioclase (1.9%), sphalerite (0.8%), wolframite (0.8%), arsenopyrite (0.7%), other (0.6%), epidote (0.5%), Fe-alloy (0.3%), pyrite (0.3%), galena (0.3%), calcite (0.2%), loellingite (0.2%), magnetite (0.2%), molybdenite (0.2%), monazite (0.1%), bismuth (0.07%), cassiterite (0.05%), chalcopyrite (0.04%), euxenite (0.04%), rutile (0.03%), zircon (0.03%) and keiviite (0.02%).

INTENDED USE
MP-2a is suitable for the analysis of tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth, the rare earth elements and various other elements in ores in concentrations ranging from major, minor to trace levels. Examples of intended use include quality control and method development.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
MP-2a should be used “as is”, without drying. The contents of the bottle should be thoroughly mixed before taking samples. CanmetMINING is not responsible for changes occurring after shipment.

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Normal safety precautions for handling fine particulate matter are suggested, such as the use of safety glasses, breathing protection, gloves and a laboratory coat.

METHOD OF PREPARATION
The raw material was crushed, ground and sieved to remove the plus 75 µm fraction. The recovery of the minus 75 µm fraction was 81%. The product was blended, and then bottled in 200-gram units. This is the only size that is available.

HOMOGENEITY
The homogeneity of the stock was investigated using fifteen bottles chosen according to a stratified random sampling scheme. Three subsamples were analyzed from each bottle. Subsamples of 0.25g grams were digested using hydrofluoric, hydrochloric, nitric and perchloric acids, and analyzed by for bismuth, copper and molybdenum and inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry for silver. Use of a smaller subsample than specified above will invalidate the use of the certified values and associated parameters.

A one–way analysis of variance technique (ANOVA)1 was used to assess the homogeneity of these elements. No significant between-bottle variation was observed for bismuth, copper, molybdenum and silver.

CERTIFIED VALUES
Twenty-five industrial, commercial and government laboratories participated in an interlaboratory measurement program using methods of their own choosing.

Methods for the determination of the elements included digestion with perchloric acid, various combinations of acids on a hot plate or microwave oven and various types of fusions followed by the determination using atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry. X-ray fluorescence on a pressed pellet and instrumental neutron activation analysis were also used for many elements.

The concentration of carbon was determined using combustion followed by infrared spectrometry. The concentration of sulphur was determined using various acid digestions and fusions followed by inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry, and X-ray fluorescence, as well as combustion followed by infrared spectrometry.

ANOVA was used to calculate the consensus values and other statistical parameters from the interlaboratory measurement program. Values are deemed to be certified if derived from 10 or more sets of data that meet CCRMP’s statistical criterion regarding the agreement of the results. Forty-three parameters were certified (see Table 1). Many certified elements exclude digestion by two, three and/or four acids as the laboratories did not use this type of preparation, or based on statistical tests.
