Corporate History - ACTLABSGroup of Companies

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 dor 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 highresolution 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 stateof-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-dOr along with enlarged sample preparation facilities. New high-volume fire assay/atomic absorptiongravimetric 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 worlds 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.

Sample Storage
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 Preparation
To 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).

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 Products
Code 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-UraniumThorium-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 wont be achieved otherwise and a delay in returning results will ensue as samples get repeated. INNOCIRCUMSTANCES 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 riskreduction 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.

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.

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 4B2RESEARCH, 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 can be 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 the chalcophile elements are required on mineralized samples, please indicate as Code 4B2-STDQUANT, 4B2-RESEARCHQUANT, 4LITHOQUANT or 4LITHORESEARCHQUANT, and a surcharge of 20.50 per sample will apply. A minimum 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 - Humus Code 2B - Vegetation INAA provides a very cost effective, rapid means of analyzing humus or vegetation to very low detection limits for gold and many other elements useful for geochemical exploration. The organic material is dried below 60C, macerated and a 15 g aliquot is compressed into a briquette and analyzed using Code 2A or Code 2B depending on whether the material is purely organic (Code 2B) or contains mineral matter (Code 2A). These briquettes are irradiated and their gamma ray spectra are measured and quantified. The advantages of this technique are simplicity (less chance of human error and contamination, ashing is costly and the results in loss of gold) and INAA is the technique with ultimate sensitivity for gold and other trace elements. Prices listed in Codes 2A and 2B are for standard 15 g briquettes. Selected elements may be available at lower costs. Code 2C - Vegetation Ash INAA Code 2C1 - Vegetation Ash-ICP/OES Code 2D - Vegetation Ash-ICP/MS Some geologists prefer ashing samples at low temperature (480C) and determining metals on the ash. This may be advantageous, particularly if base metals are also required for your gold project or for base metal exploration. Note when samples are ashed, there may be volatile loss of certain elements (Au, As, Br, Hg, Cd, etc). Results are reported on an ash weight basis. Code 2D uses a proprietary acid digestion on the ash followed by ICP/MS and extends the list of elements which are available. Not all elements may be total. This package can be quite useful for diamond exploration. Prices for Code 2C1 for single element is 5.00 with each additional element costing 2.25. Code 2E This package is similar to Code 2D but requires a different digestion of the plant ash to obtain Au, Pt and Pd to low levels. This method has been shown to be very effective for PGE exploration. Code 2F Dry vegetation samples are dissolved in acid and analyzed by High Resolution ICP/MS. Code 2F-PGE Actlabs has developed a new package capable of detecting the PGE in vegetation at the sub-ppb level by microwave digestion, ion exchange and High Resolution ICP/MS. This method eliminates interferences. Actlabs only ashes vegetation in dedicated vegetation ashing furnaces to avoid contamination.

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.

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 0.45 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 g/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 4C. 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

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: 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.

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.

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 Analysis After B-horizon soil materials are collected, they are air dried or dried in special rooms kept below 40C. 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.

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 (The Use and Misuse of Soil Geochemistry in Mineral Exploration - Dr. Stewart Hamilton OGS-2007 Powerpoint presentation).

Standard Reference Materials

Do 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 investors 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 Code 7 - Enhanced Enzyme Leach Code 7 - Bioleach Code 7 Code 7 A distilled water leach to extract the water soluble component Selectively goes after amorphous Mn oxides

XRD - X-Ray Diffraction

Mineralogy by Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) - Major Phases Present
Powder 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 Identification
Most Minerals are crystalline and therefore scatter X-rays in a regular, characteristic way dependant on their crystal structure. Each mineral produces a 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 Speciation
X-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 400C, heating to 550C, 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 Quartz
The 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 are required. 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 1100C or 1500C. After firing, the sample is analyzed for cristobalite following steps similar to Method 7500.

Geochronology
CODE 10B - Ages of geological formations or secondary events (i.e. alteration or metamorphism) can be determined through using K-Ar, (Ar-Ar), U-Pb, Rb-Sr or the Sm-Nd dating methods. These analytical procedures include several steps: (i) dating method selection (ii) sample collection (iii) sample preparation, mineral separation and treatment (iv) irradiation of the samples in a nuclear reactor for the Ar-Ar technique (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 SmNd) 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.
