Technical Papers-Tuesday, September 15, 2009 (Morning)

Session 1 8:00 am Automated Flux Dispensing Machines- Automated and Semi Automated. Bill Clifford, Anachemia Science Both of these dispensers will deliver a predetermined weight (by volume) to each crucible and reduce operator’s exposure to lead dust. Eliminates wrist fatigue that is associated with “hand scooping” of flux.

8:�0 am Laboratory Workflow Design: Ideas and Examples from the Minerals Industry John Winterbottom- Technical Manager, AssayNet Canada Inc. “Same labs- Different workflow”. Many minerals laboratories that analyze similar materials for similar suites of elements have adopted different task management methodologies. This paper examines the diversity of operations the author has encountered, discusses the dynamics and rationale behind their development and illustrates how a single data management system (LIMS) can be used to accommodate these heterogeneous workflows.

9:00 am Update on the B.C Assayers Certification Program Scott Daniels- Chair of the Advisory Council to the B.C Assayer Certification Program This presentation will provide an update on the B.C Assayer Certification Program, its successes and challenges.

9:�0 am -10:00 am Coffee Break

10:00 am Advances in the Use of Compton Ratio Method for Nickel Ores and Other Ores Mike Martin- XRF Applications Specialist, Rigaku Americas Corporation This paper applies to an improvement in quantitative elemental analysis by Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (WDXRD) spectroscopy

10:�0 am Application of the Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques for Determination of Complex Geological and PGE Sample Matrices Eric Vanclay, ICP-OES Product Manager, Varian Australia This presentation includes results for complex matrices measured using Fast Sequential AAS and Internal Standardization; trace elements in platinum and rhodium matrices measured using the Varian ICP-OES; and gold in geological samples measured using Laser Ablation ICP-MS.

11:00 am Evolution of Metals Digestion Nancie Copeland- Technical Sales Director, Environmental Express Joe Boyd- Technical Specialist, Environmental Express Much has changed in the way laboratories handle samples for metals digestions. Older technology, such as the hotplate have been replaced with newer technology such as block digesters. The following presentation addresses the benefits of the HotBlock and AutoBlock and gives supporting data to validate their use for metals digestion.

Technical Papers-Tuesday, September 15, 2009 (Afternoon)

Session 2 �:00 pm Solving Problems of Fine Crushing Ian Devereux- Managing Director, Rocklabs Ltd. Incorporating a CRM (Continuous Ring Mill) in sample preparation to reduce crusher repairs.

�:�0 pm Measuring Low Level Sulphur Content in Waste Rock Richard Simms, University of Waterloo on behalf of Romquest Technologies Mining is a relatively new industry in the Northwest Territories. Diamonds are strip mined from kimberlite deposits that intrude into the Canadian Shield. The lack of carbonate buffers in the north means that the local environment is potentially vulnerable to acid buildup. The waste rock from Canadian Shield has a small sulfide component. Mines sort the waste rock based on measured sulphur content, treating higher contents with more care. This helps to control the environmental impact of their operations. Due to the small amounts of sulphur being measured, results are not as consistent as we think they could be. This talk will discuss an on-going attempt at improving the accuracy and precision of the measurement of low level sulphur content in waste rock.

�:00 pm - �:�0 pm Coffee Break

�:�0 pm New Products to Help with Your Sample Preparation Needs. Bruce Weakland- North American Sales Manager, Herzog Automation Corporation Herzog has recently developed an automatic milling machine for large samples, a semi- automatic milling machine for smaller samples, a mill and press combination system, a low pressure press for XRD samples, a dosing machine for weighing flux and new fusion machines.

4:00 pm The use of Statistical Process Control (SPC) for the Optimization of Laboratory Performance Joe Mastroianni- Lab QA/AC Executive Consultant, Scientech A well defined and formulated Quality Assurance Program ensures the laboratories ability to produce competent results, I.E. results that are capable of meeting the Laboratories customers needs, This level of competence is easily demonstrated through the use of Scientech’s Lab Stats Pack Statistical Quality Control Product.

Technical Papers-Wednesday, September 16, 2009Session 3

8:00 am Full Pattern Cluster Analysis of Multiple X-Ray Diffraction Data Jennifer Anderson- Applications Specialist- XRD, PANalytical Daniel Raymond- General Manager, PANalytical Allan Ball- Sales Representative, PANalytical Modern X-ray diffraction equipment allows the rapid collection of hundreds of scans. Collecting large amounts of data it is impossible to analyze every single measurement. Cluster analysis drastically reduces the amount of data that has to be processed. This presentation will introduce the theory behind cluster analysis. Examples from cement and mining applications will demonstrate some of the benefits.

8:45 am High Productivity Solution for Routine ICPMS Analysis Tim Freeman- PerkinElmer LAS Canada The advantages of combining a FAST ESI sample introduction system. A PerkinElmer ELAN ICP-MS will be discussed.

9:15 am - 9:45 am Coffee Break

9:45 am The Canadian Mineral Analysis Testing Program: Criteria for Performance and Excellence; the steps to Accredit a Laboratory. Rassoulou Diallo- Senior Program Officer, Conformity Assessment Division, Standards Council of Canada (PALCAN-SCC/CNN) The criteria for performance and excellence. The steps necessary to accredit a laboratory.

10:�0 am Spectrochemical Analysis of Trace Elements in Metals and Minerals by the DC Arc Technique Paul Dalager- Canalytical Rapid Quantitative multi-element trace analysis of difficult-to-dissolve samples is a hallmark of the DC Arc Technique. Some of the advantages of the DC Arc as compared to other analytical techniques will be discussed in the presentation.
