Quality Assurance
Regular participation in international, national and internal proficiency testing programs and client specific proficiency programs complements NATA ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation ensuring international standards are maintained in the laboratories procedures, methodology, validation, QA/QC and data handling. Certified Reference Materials and/or in house controls, blanks and replicates are analysed with each batch of samples. These quality control results are reported along with the sample values in the final report. Selected samples are also re-analysed to confirm anomalous results. Prices include the reporting of all QC data except where more than 10% repeats are considered necessary in cases such as poor reproducibility due to particulate precious metals, in which case additional repeats may be charged for. Where the concentration of an element exceeds the capacity of the original method selected, re-analysis will be carried out using a more appropriate technique at the clients expense, unless otherwise requested.

Selection of Methods
The intended end use of analytical data is the primary consideration when selecting the most appropriate analytical methods. Due to a wide range of applications, from greenfields exploration through to resource definition and production, key criteria to be considered include; accuracy and precision, detection limits, expected concentration of the target element(s), sample matrix and budget. Sample preparation is a vital stage in the analytical process. Correct preparation procedures allow representative sub-sampling which is the foundation of quality analysis. For ease of selection, packages have been created to cover the most commonly used procedures. The choice of sample dissolution procedure, to get a sample into a form amenable to instrumental analysis, is important, and each has its own advantages and limitations. Consideration should be given to whether a partial or complete decomposition is required for each application when choosing between the various digestion techniques. Throughout this Schedule we have used three shades of colour to provide an indication of the degree of recovery using a particular method for each element. For less aggressive digests, such as aqua regia, many elements are shown as likely to be only partially recovered, whereas for more rigorous four acid digests where hydrofluoric acid is included to dissolve silicates, many more elements are likely to approach total recovery. Most minerals will be completely decomposed using the various fusion techniques and therefore, results for most elements will be total. Overall, the recovery of a particular element depends on the degree to which the host mineral is digested, the solubility of that element and any losses due to volatilisation. The lower and upper limits for each element are shown in most tables and are a guide to the ranges that can be routinely measured, however these may vary in some cases as a result of the sample matrix. A selection of analytical packages are offered including a range of multi-element scans and commodity specific suites. The comprehensive multi-element packages incorporate the lowest detection limits that can be analysed and utilise both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instrumentation. Variations in element suites, instrumentation and detection limits offer more cost effective package options. For greenfields exploration, various multi-element options are listed under Exploration Geochemistry. Where gold is a target element for soil and stream sediment surveys, an aqua regia digestion and a multi-element analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-OES is useful as both gold and a range of other elements can be determined cost effectively using the same digest. Aqua regia will digest gold and chalcophile elements in particular, however elements associated with silicates and more refractory minerals may only be partially digested. Four acid digestions will dissolve all but the most refractory minerals, with total analyses for most elements. If gold is not required, the four acid digestion and multi-element analysis is recommended for exploration work. For detecting buried mineralisation, partial leaches on soils are an effective tool. Similarly, plant tissue or groundwater, which can be sampled easily and cheaply, can be analysed in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, conventional media. Analyses available using these methods are listed in the Partial Digests and Biogeochemistry sections. Orientation surveys are particularly important when using these techniques and it is advisable to discuss your needs with us in advance. Fused bead XRF is particularly useful for the analysis of bulk commodities such as iron ore and bauxite, and is listed in the Commodities section. Moisture correction is routinely carried out and samples are reported on a dry basis. This technique is not suitable for samples containing high sulphides. Other commodity specific methods are available in this section. Precious metals are best analysed by fire assay, with lead collection used to analyse Au, Pt and Pd, whereas nickel sulphide collection is used for the full suite of platinum group elements (PGE). Complete Lithogeochemistry packages are available using a combination of methods to analyse the widest range of elements. Fusion ICP-MS is best for the analysis of REE and HFSE as the host minerals are often refractory. Lithium borate fusion and either XRF or ICP-OES are the best methods for whole rock analyses. The most common methods offered are listed in this Schedule, however this is not an exhaustive list of services and not all services are available at all locations. We encourage clients to discuss their projects with us and where possible visit the laboratories to assist with selection of the most appropriate analytical solutions for the particular applications.

Sample Preparation
The production of a homogeneous sub-sample, representative of the material submitted to the laboratory is the primary purpose of sample preparation. Correct preparation is critical to obtaining meaningful analytical results. The selection of the specific sample preparation procedures will depend on the type and size of the sample, the mineralogy as well as the clients analytical and budgetary requirements. Segregation into high and low grade sample preparation areas and utilisation of techniques such as vacuuming pulveriser vessels and/or quartz washes between samples reduces the potential for contamination. Robotic preparation employing quartz washes is also available at some facilities. Close and ongoing consultation with the laboratory will ensure that optimal sample preparation techniques are employed thus maximising the value added in the analytical process.

Sample Preparation Procedures

Drying
Sample drying procedures will vary due to the sample type and mass, moisture content and analyisis required. Description Sort and dry samples received in standard paper packets Sort and dry samples Low temperature drying Code SD01 SD02 SD03 Price $0.60 $0.60/kg $1.00/kg
Sample Preparation
Crushing
Samples with a volume or dimensions exceeding that which the pulverising vessels can accommodate may require crushing and/or splitting prior to pulverising. Crushing may also be required to achieve an optimum particle size to split to a representative sub sample for further particle size reduction. Description Crush to ~10mm Crush to ~2mm Code CR01 CR02 Price $0.60/kg $1.20/kg
Splitting
Splitting of samples may be done to achieve a more cost effective option in reducing the volume of sample for further particle size reduction steps. Two types of splitters are used; the riffle splitter sometimes called a Jones Spitter and the Rotary Splitter. It is important to select the correct size splitter for the product being split, correct technique is also important in order that samples are split without introducing bias. Description Riffle splitting up to 6kg discard reject Riffle splitting up to 6kg retain reject Additional riffle splitting options Rotary or arcual splitting RS01 Code RF01 RF02 Price $2.50 $3.50 POA $0.50/kg
Pulverising
Pulverising is carried out on crushed or relatively fine products to achieve a fine homogeneous powder to enable small sub-samples to be taken for analysis that will be representative of the larger coarse sample. For most sample types at least 85% of material will be pulverised to 75m or better. All devices used in the crushing and pulverising of samples can impart trace levels of contaminants. Low chrome steel is often the preferred material for pulverising vessels as the chrome and iron contamination is usually negligible compared with the levels commonly encountered in most geological materials. Other options such as tungsten carbide (WC) and zirconia (Zr) vessels are available if required. Description Up to 300g Up to 1.2kg Up to 3kg 1.2kg up to 3kg, additional fine pulverise assay split Additional weight per 3kg or part thereof WC bowl 100g Zr bowl 100g Quartz wash (discarded) Quartz wash (retained) Code PU01 PU02 PU03 PU04 PU05 WC01 ZR01 QW01 QW02 Price $4.00 $5.50 $6.50 $8.00 $8.00 $8.00 $11.00 75% of pulverising cost 100% of pulverising cost

Precious Metals Analysis

A diverse range of precious metals techniques are available for applications ranging from grassroots exploration, where sub ppb sensitivities are required, to accurate resource estimation and grade control. For gold determination lead collection fire assay remains the classic method, however, aqua regia digestion, accelerated cyanide leach and BLEG are other options that are available for specific purposes. Platinum and palladium can also be detected using some of these methods. The full suite of platinum group elements (PGE) can only be determined by nickel sulphide collection fire assay.
Precious Metals
Lead Collection Fire Assay

Lead collection fire assay remains the method of choice for quantitative gold determination. The fire assay flux mixture has been carefully formulated to optimise precious metal recovery in diverse mineralogical matrices. Difficult sample matrices may necessitate a reduction in the charge weight. Samples submitted for the ppb determination of gold, platinum or palladium are fused in new pots using dedicated equipment.

Nickel Sulphide Collection Fire Assay

The nickel sulphide collection fire assay process has been designed to quantitatively recover all of the platinum group elements. Some reduction in charge weight may be necessary for difficult sample matrices. Element Au Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ir, Os 25g NiS fire assay / ICP-MS (Package) Description Detection Limit 2ppb 1ppb NS25/MS $99.00 Code Price
Screen Fire Assay

Screen fire assay is used to quantify the gold content of samples where conventional 50gram assays are subject to an unacceptable sampling error resulting from coarse gold. The process involves screening a nominal 1kg sample and firing the entire coarse fraction, including the screen cloth. Duplicate assays are carried out on the undersize fraction which is more reproducible due to the smaller gold particle sizes. The total gold (or platinum and palladium) content is calculated as a weighted mean of the measured grades of the two screen fractions. This is reported alongside the individual fraction results. Element Au Au Au Pt, Pd Description Screen fire assay 150m / AAS Screen fire assay 100m / AAS Screen fire assay 75m / AAS Additional oversize firing Available on request Detection Limit 0.01ppm 0.01ppm 0.01ppm Code SF150/AA SF100/AA SF75/AA Price $75.00 $90.00 $140.00 $16.00 POA
Aqua Regia Digestion

Aqua regia will digest many minerals, however, silicates and refractory minerals will remain largely undigested. Aqua regia is useful for grassroots exploration and as a screening tool. It is a cost effective way to analyse for gold and other elements (multi-element gold packages can be found under the Exploration Geochemistry section from page 11). Lower detection limits are achieved utilising Graphite Furnace AAS. Aqua regia digestions are suitable for exploration purposes only and should not be used for resource analyses. Additional elements can be included from the Exploration Geochemistry section from page 11.

Cyanide Leaches
Cyanide solutions are used to leach gold from large samples providing a useful method for both grassroots exploration and resource work. BLEG (Bulk Leach Extractable Gold) is usually performed on screened stream sediment samples, providing detection of low level anomalies for regional exploration. High grade leaches utilise the LeachWELL accelerant to extract the cyanide extractable gold. This is an indication of what would be recovered in routine metallurgical processes.

The advent of sensitive, rapid throughput instrumentation such as ICP-OES and ICP-MS used to complement one another has revolutionised exploration geochemistry in the last two decades. Large multi-element packages with detection limits commensurate with the crustal abundances of the analytes are available for exploration purposes at affordable prices. Limited AAS and ICP-OES suites are also available to suit the requirements of particular exploration programs. A variety of digests are offered which include multi-purpose aqua regia and four acid total digests along with specialised biogeochemical and partial leach digests specifically for greenfields exploration. Analytical options include: Au + Multi-Elements by Aqua Regia Digestion Multi-Elements by Four Acid Digestion TerraLeach Partial Digest Geochemistry Biogeochemistry
Aqua Regia Digestion for Gold + Multi-Elements

Aqua regia is a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids which acts as powerful oxidizing agent with the ability to dissolve gold. Most oxide, sulphide and carbonate minerals are digested by aqua regia, however certain refractory minerals and most silicates are only partially decomposed. An aqua regia leach is a very useful exploration tool and an industry standard for many grassroots exploration programs, however it should not be used for resource quality data. Recovery levels vary between elements and sample matrices, with indicative recoveries highlighted on the package tables. Packages range from basic ICP-OES only suites through to a comprehensive element list utilising both ICP-OES and ICP-MS for ultra trace levels. The 1g options are primarily a multi-element scanning tool; precious metal results are indicative only and should be interpreted with extreme caution due to the particulate nature of precious metals in some sample types. The 10g and 25g methods offer cost effective options for gold and multi-element suites. Mercury may report low due to losses of volatile forms primarily during sampling and preparation stages. Detection limits may be compromised due to the sample matrix. An additional charge is applicable for samples containing graphitic or other organic material that require roasting prior to digestion.

Four Acid Digestion Multi-Elements Packages

Four acid digests, with the inclusion of hydrofluoric acid targeting silicates, will decompose almost all mineral species and are referred to as near-total digestions. Highly resistant minerals such as zircon, cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, rutile and wolframite will require a fusion digest to ensure complete dissolution. Relative indicative recoveries for each element are highlighted on the package tables. Four acid digests may volatilise some elements. Detection limits may be compromised due to the sample matrix. Packages range from basic ICP-OES only suites through to a comprehensive element list utilising both ICP-OES and ICP-MS for ultra trace levels.

TerraLeach Partial Digest Geochemistry

Partial digests are carried out on soil media to detect buried ore bodies in areas where conventional geochemistry may not work. Buried ore bodies may release trace levels of metals into groundwater which are inferred to travel vertically and accumulate within the top portion of the soil profile where they add to the background metal concentrations. Their contribution to the overall metal concentration may be very small and metal recoveries are typically low, therefore most elements are read on an ICP-MS to achieve the most sensitive detection limits. The medium is normally fine grained and typically samples are not pulverised. Samples sourced from outside Western Australia are heat treated for quarantine purposes. This may slightly alter the recovery of certain elements, anomalous features however are still retained. Targeted metal ions generally reside on the surfaces of soil particles requiring only weak leaches to remove them thus producing superior anomaly contrasts. This differentiates partial digests from stronger leaches which extract occluded metal ions that contribute to background levels of metal, resulting in inferior anomaly contrast. Partial digests tend to be efficient for certain element suites and specific element species. Soil type and digestion method must therefore be matched to recover targeted elements. Detection limits may vary as a consequence of the sample media. Before commencing any new partial digest program we recommend consultation with our geochemist. An orientation study to help select the optimum sample media and digest technique is recommended.

Biogeochemistry
Plants can be sophisticated geochemical samplers and the analysis of plant tissue can be used as a guide to the underlying geology, which may be particularly useful in areas of transported cover. Samples are easy and cheap to collect and have a low environmental impact. The levels of metals in plant tissues are low, compared with soil, so care must be taken not to contaminate the samples. Sites away from human activity or its effects are preferred. All plant tissue (foliage, twigs, bark, flowers, seeds, litter) can be analysed, however, foliage and bark often give the strongest geochemical signature. An orientation study to determine the most useful species and tissue type to sample is recommended. Specific sampling techniques should be followed, please contact the laboratory for detailed instructions. Foliage is separated from the twigs and extraneous material removed from litter, as required, before being milled in specialised preparation equipment. The pulp is digested using a modified aqua regia digest and analysed by ICP-OES, MS and AAS. Multi-element analyses are the most useful for biogeochemical interpretation, so the full suite of elements is recommended. Detection limits for salt bush and other samples that are particularly enriched may be elevated due to sample matrix.
Biogeochemistry Sample Preparation
Various preparation options are available in combination with either the basic, standard or comprehensive biogeochemistry packages.

Many techniques listed under this section are suitable for trade related shipment analyses and may be offered separately or in conjunction with our surveying and sampling services. Please contact the laboratory for details and pricing. Analytical options and commodities include: Advanced Exploration Ores and High Grade Materials Base Metals Iron Ore - Including Davis Tube Recovery Aluminium Ore Chromite Ore Nickel Laterite Ore Manganese Ore Uranium Rare Earth Elements Industrial Minerals Refractory Minerals
Advanced Exploration
For advanced exploration projects, a number of fusion techniques are offered for the accurate major, minor and trace element determination of ores and commodities. Two principal fusion methods are offered which are the lithium borate fusions done in platinum (FB1/) and the sodium peroxide fusions which are done in either nickel (FP6/) or zirconium crucibles (FP1/). The product of the fusion is dissolved and can be read on both ICPOES and ICPMS. Fusions done in platinum have the advantage that the crucible metal is not imparted to the fusion product in significant amounts. Since the flux does not contain sodium, all the major elements can be quantified using ICP-OES. The principal disadvantage of a borate fusion is that it is not suitable for certain samples types. The flux is non-oxidising and the presence of any reduced species and certain metals in large amounts can damage the expensive platinum crucibles. Samples containing large amounts of copper, reduced sulphur such as sulphides, arsenides, metallics and organic matter are thus not suitable for fusion in platinum crucibles. Fusions done using a sodium peroxide flux cannot be used for the determination of sodium or the metal from which the crucible is manufactured and other metals which may be present in the crucible in significant amounts as well as elements that undergo spectral interference by these elements. In the case of a zirconium crucible, for example, zirconium, hafnium and phosphorus cannot be determined. In the case of a nickel crucible, nickel, chromium, cobalt and molybdenum cannot be determined. For the full range of elements available for the various fusion types, please refer to the tables from page 22. Fusion using sodium peroxide is, nonetheless, very robust and can be used on a wide range of materials which include highly refractory minerals such as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite as well as high grade sulphide ores and mattes.
22
Lithium borate fusion offers a relatively low temperature, aggressive digest suitable for almost all geological samples with the exception of those containing high sulphides. These should be analysed using the sodium peroxide options. The technique is optimised for accuracy at both high and low element concentrations. Major element analysis can be carried out by borate fusion with either ICP or XRF finishes. By ICP, using the same solutions, the minor elements may be analysed by ICP-OES and the trace elements by ICP-MS. Results for, Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, S & Zn are semi quantitative only by this fusion method.
Lithium borate fusions are not a suitable technique when the sulphide sulphur and copper contents of the sample exceeds 2 and 1 per cent respectively. XRF is not a suitable finish for borate fusions where the total REE oxide content exceeds 1 per cent.

Sodium peroxide fusions offer total dissolution of the sample and can be performed in either nickel or zirconium
crucibles to preclude the presence of unwanted contaminant metals allowing different element suites to be tailored for various purposes. Sodium peroxide fusions are useful for samples in which the elements of interest are hosted in minerals that may resist acid digestions. These include, amongst others, minerals and ores containing rare earth elements (REE), high field strength elements (HFSE), Sn, W, Ti and V.

Ores & High Grade Materials

High grade sulphide ores are readily quantified using a 4 acid digest with an instrument finish that may include ICP-OES, ICP-MS or AAS. The digestion process is specially formulated to retain low-solubility elements such as Pb and Ag in solution at higher concentrations, and is a near total dissolution. Elements incorporated in highly refractory minerals may not be completely dissolved. An AAS finish is a cost effective way of analysing a limited suite of elements, whereas ICP-OES allows for the accurate determination of the major ore chemistry as well as lower level characterisation of other elements.

Base Metals
Aqua regia digest and four acid digest base metal packages may be useful for the accurate low level characterisation of base metals. Both AAS and ICP-OES finishes may be employed as well as a number of more specialist techniques. Aqua regia is generally quantitative for elements in a sulphide association, but will only partially digest silicates and refractory oxides. A four acid digest will, however, digest most silicates, oxides, carbonates and sulphides. Elements such as Ni and Co may have both a sulphide and a silicate association requiring a four acid digest for complete recovery. To complement the base metal exploration packages, an equivalent ore grade packages is offered with AAS and ICPOES finishes. These options offer a robust, accurate technique in which the chemistry of diverse base metal ores can be determined for resource quality data. To further characterise the many styles of base metal mineralisation, a comprehensive list of elements is available under Exploration Geochemistry from page 11.

Iron Ore
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) is the preferred method of analysis for iron ore samples. Accuracy, long term reproducibility and high throughput means XRF is unparalleled in the modern geochemical laboratory for the analysis of the major components of iron ores. Pulverised samples are fused with a lithium borate flux and cast into disks using semi or fully automated technology. The use of fusion disks eliminates physical effects such as particle size and reduces matrix effects which can compromise the accuracy of XRF analysis. High quality data is produced using either simultaneous or sequential wavelength dispersive instrumentation. Loss on ignition (LOI) is determined by the use of Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Single point LOI is determined at 1000C and is included in the iron ore packages. Customised multiple point LOI determinations are available on request. Multi point LOI are culmative unless otherwise requested.

Davis Tube Recovery

Davis Tube Recovery has been utilised in the Iron Ore Industry since 1940 to simulate plant recoveries of ferromagnetic concentrates. Optimisation of Magnetic Field Strength (Gauss) and Grind Size allow evaluation of recoveries of ferromagnetic products. The magnetic and non-magnetic recoveries can then be analysed by Lithium Metaborate Fusion and XRF to determine chemical composition. Procedures are very ore specific and clients should contact Intertek Genalysis Management to discuss your requirements further.
Aluminium Ore (Bauxite)

XRF analysis of bauxite is the preferred method to return total values of the component oxides such as alumina and silica. A single point LOI is done at 1000C. As bauxites are highly hygroscopic, all data is corrected to the dry sample. Of more fundamental importance are the available alumina and reactive silica components of the bauxite ores. The available alumina is the alumina component that can be extracted using the sodium hydroxide leaching Bayer process. The reactive silica is the silica component that dissolves in the Bayer process and reacts with some of the dissolved alumina and sodium hydroxide, whereby both alumina and sodium are lost to the process. Reactive silica and available alumina are determined in the Perth dedicated bauxite analysis facility.

Chromite Ore
Chromium ores are usually found associated with ultramafic rocks and may be accurately analysed by fusion XRF with a single point LOI (1000C). The highly refractory nature of chromite ores requires a specialist approach in the fusion process to ensure that the spinel structure is decomposed and the entire sample is dissolved in the fusion disk. The LOI is usually negative in higher grade ores due to the oxidation of ferrous iron in the spinel structure. The major element analysis can be used to classify the chromite ore.

Nickel Laterite Ores

The oxidised nature of nickel laterite ore and the low sulphur contents make XRF with a single point LOI an ideal technique for the chemical characterisation of these ores. XRF can accurately quantify the nickel and cobalt contents of the ore, important trace elements such as copper and zinc, as well as the major oxide components which are used to classify the laterite ore type. Nickel laterite ores can be hygroscopic with high moisture contents. Moisture is therefore corrected for routinely and all results are reported on a dry basis.

Uranium
Most jurisdictions have regulations that govern the treatment and handling of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). Our laboratories are registered to receive and treat NORM samples and have stringent procedures in place to protect workers and ensure compliance with regulations. For the accurate low level quantification of uranium and thorium, ICP-MS is the preferred technique. Ore grade uranium samples can be accurately quantified using XRF techniques, taking advantage of the excellent precision and accuracy of fusion XRF.

Rare Earth Elements

The refractory nature of many of the minerals which host rare earth elements (REE) make fusion followed by a combination ICP-OES and ICP-MS an ideal technique for the accurate characterisation of REE ores along with important major, minor and trace components. Fusions, using either sodium peroxide or lithium borate flux, ensure the complete digestion of all minerals giving total elemental analyses. All data is checked for consistency using chondrite normalised plots. Extended REE package including major elements is available on request, POA. A wider selection of elements including Cs, Rb, Ba, Sr, V and Sc can also be found under Advanced Exploration from page 22. Low level options can be found packaged under Lithogeochemistry on page 33 or are available as individual elements under Exploration Geochemistry from page 11.

Refractory Minerals
Fusion techniques ensure the total dissolution of almost all minerals and thus facilitate the accurate AAS, ICP-MS and ICP-OES analysis of elements that are hosted in refractory mineral species. Detection limits may be higher than the equivalent acid digestions however the decomposition is ensured. This is particularly important with elements that are hosted in very refractory minerals that may not decompose in four acid digests such as rutile, ilmenite, zircon, certain garnet species, some spinels, columbite-tantalite, cassiterite and wolframite. A selection of fusion techniques are available to suit targeted mineralisation under Advanced Exploration from page 22. 32
Lithogeochemistry
Lithogeochemical studies require the full characterisation of rock samples. Many applications require the accurate analysis of both mobile and immobile elements that can assist in identifying precursor rock types and quantification of any geological processes that may have affected them. Lithogeochemistry is also useful for geochemical fingerprinting, quantification of crystal fractionation, identifying regolith processes and for strategic correlation. Several analytical techniques are used including both fusion and four acid digests with XRF, ICP-OES and ICP-MS finishes. These methods produce data of highest quality that is suitable for exploration, research, publication and geochemical modeling purposes.
Lithium borate fusion offers a relatively low temperature, aggressive digest that dissolves almost all geological samples while limiting losses due to volatilisation. This technique is optimised for a wide range of element concentrations. Major element analysis can be carried out by borate fusion with either ICP-OES or XRF finishes. XRF is the more precise option however highly mineralised samples may be more amenable to an ICP-OES finish. Additional elements may be analysed by ICP-OES and/or ICP-MS. Upper and lower limits may vary with instrument type and sample matrix. Lithium borate fusions are not a suitable technique when the sulphide sulphur and copper contents of the sample exceeds 2 and 1 per cent respectively. XRF is not a suitable finish for borate fusions where the total REE oxide content exceeds 1 per cent.

Water Analysis
The analysis of natural water, extracts, effluents, process liquids and other samples supplied as aqueous solutions. The sampling of water sources provides useful information for environmental monitoring and exploration. When aqueous solution samples are received containing suspended or settled solids, the supernatant only is analysed (except for the determination of suspended solids and total solids), unless advice to the contrary is received.
Analysis of Naturally Occurring Water

1) Detection limits assume direct analysis of sample as received or at minimum levels of dilution. 2) Detection limits for MS assume TDS <1000mg/l, and OES assume TDS <5000mg/L. 3) Elements by enhanced sensitivity OES are only available where TDS <100mg/l. Detection limits and prices apply to naturally occurring waters with an electrical conductivity (EC) of less than 1000uS/cm. More saline or highly mineralised solutions will require dilution and detection limits will be increased. Upper limits may apply to some elements. Correct sampling and preservation of samples is critical. Please contact the laboratory for detailed instructions. Preparation charges may apply.

Service Fees and Surcharges

Prices in this schedule are effective from 1st January 2013. Intertek Genalysis does not charge an administration or batch fee, however there is a minimum invoice charge of $200.00 for routine geochemistry and $250.00 for all other work. All prices in this brochure are calculated on the basis of multiple sample batches rather than individual samples; consequently single sample jobs will be invoiced at triple rates and submissions of two samples will carry a 50% surcharge. When sample submissions include largely differing sample matrices and/or differing analytical requirements, they may be treated as separate submissions and multiple jobs may be generated for each discrete grouping, each possibly attracting minimum job fees or small batch size surcharges. A waste disposal levy is included in the cost of the analyses that produce lead, alkaline or cyanide based solid or liquid waste that requires specific hazardous waste disposal protocols. Should disposal costs increase prices may be increased accordingly. A 50% surcharge is added to invoices where a NATA endorsed report is requested. Such a request must be made prior to, or at the time of, submitting the samples. Discounts may apply for large batches please contact Intertek Genalysis to discuss your needs. All prices quoted in this schedule are in Australian dollars, and exclude Australian Goods and Services Taxation (GST)
