1. Confidentiality

This report is strictly confidential. Individual laboratories are not identified in this report.
Individual laboratories will be given their own identifying codes for the different tables
and graphs, but not the codes for other laboratories.

2. Absolute average z scores

Based on the average of the absolute value of the z-scores

It is recommended by AMIS that should a laboratory’s absolute average z-score be

greater than 2, an internal investigation of possible root causes should be carried out
by the laboratory.
The values highlighted in red on the data are considered outliers.

Please be advised that the order of laboratories below does not correlate with the

3. Explanation of statistical analysis

Nineteen laboratories were each sent 8 samples of material taken scientifically from throughout the batch.
Results from nineteen laboratories were used for the compilation of the Certificate.
Results from nineteen laboratories were used for the compilation of the PT Report

Confidential laboratory codes are assigned as follows, namely A to S.

3.1 The data tables contain raw assay data from those laboratories in addition to:
3.1.1 The laboratory mean
3.1.2 The laboratory standard deviation (SD)
3.1.3 The laboratory RSD (the laboratory standard deviation divided by the lab mean, expressed as a percentage) [(SD/Mean
* 100],
3.1.4 The z-scores of the individual analyses [(Laboratory result-Average Mean)/ Average SD]
3.1.5 A laboratory ranking based on the average absolute z-score
3.1.6 Statistics for the un-iterated (inlcuding outliers) data set (mean, standard deviation and RSD),
3.1.7 Statistics for the iterated (excluding outliers) data (mean, RSD percent, number of results, SD, 2SD, 3SD, Std
mean±2SD and Std mean±3SD)-This data can be used in conjunction with the graph
3.1.8 Simple statistics of the laboratory results (mean, standard deviation and RSD),
3.1.9 Measurement of uncertainty

3.2 Certain results were excluded for the calculation of the mean and standard deviation illustarted on the graph.
The general rules for exclusion were:
· If the z score >±2, the result is an outlier and it is removed.
· If ≤50% results from a laboratory have z scores >±2,each result is excluded
· If ≥50% results from a laboratory have z scores >±2, the entire laboratory’s results are excluded

3.3 Statistics on these tables are those for the whole data set. They differ from the “recommended concentrations”
and two “between laboratory standard deviations” on the certificate independently calculated by the certifying
geochemist. Some outlying results were excluded for the calculation of those values.

3.4 An independent Geochemist, namely Allan Fraser, provided Recommended Concentrations and limits at two standard
deviations as per the AMIS0761 COA.
These represent the values that a “good laboratory” should report within acceptable limits of analytical accuracy.
Allan Fraser was provided with the electronic versions of assay reports and spreadsheets compiled by Ms Daishnee
Padayachee (PT Scheme Coordinator)

Disclaimer: Laboratory managers are requested to carefully vet this report and to draw the author’s attention to any
mistakes or omissions that may be identified. Kindly note that all results are reported as received.
AMIS will not be held responsible for any errors identified within the raw data obtained. For graphical representation,
laboratory data shall be presented to 2 decimal places. Excel files can be made available upon request should a
laboratory wish to conduct internal statistical evaluations.

4. Subcontracted activities

The following activities were subcontracted:

4.1 Preparation of Certified Reference Material
4.2 Homogeniety testing to determine ranges for individual elements
4.3 Transportation of samples with courier companies
Page 4
5. Method of preparation, Homogeneity and Stability assessment

The particle size distribution for this material was shown to have a nominal top size of 54µm (95%
passing 54µm). The procedure of preparation in brief is as follows: the material was crushed, dry-milled
and air-classified to <54µm. It was then blended in a bi-conical mixer, systematically divided and sealed
into 1kg Laboratory Packs. Explorer Packs are then subdivided from the Laboratory Packs as required.
Final packaged units were then selected on a random basis and submitted for analysis to an independent
laboratory accredited with the ISO17025 standard of general requirements for the competence of testing
and calibration laboratories. The results obtained from this laboratory are then evaluated statistically by
AMIS for homogeneity. The stability of the material will be subject to continuous testing for the duration of
the inventory. Should product stability become an issue, all customers will be notified and notification to
that effect will be placed on the [Link] website.

6. Assigned value

The assigned values for the PT report are expressed as the mean calculated from the software as follows:
6.1 Raw data including outliers
6.2 Exclusion of outliers using z-scores (Refer to 3.1.4)

7. Standard Deviation For Proficiency Assessment

The Standard Deviation is a representation of the population standard deviation and provides the estimate of
the repeatability of the data and it is calculated as follows:
7.1 From the software
7.2 From individual laboratories and represented as LAB_SD for each laboratory
7.3 For Proficiency Assessment is calculated as a weighted mean standard deviation
7.4 Converted to variances by squaring the standard deviations and added by taking the root sum of squares
and the number of laboratory into consideration

8. Metrological traceability and measurement of uncertainty

The values quoted herein are based on the consensus values derived from statistical analysis of the data
from an inter-laboratory measurement program. Traceability to SI units is via the standards used by
individual laboratories, of which the majority are ISO17025 accredited and have maintained measurement
traceability during the analytical process.

The samples used within this PT process have been selected in such a way as to represent the entire material
batch and were taken from the final packaged units; therefore all possible sources of uncertainty (sample
uncertainty and measurement uncertainty) are included in the final combined standard uncertainty
determination. The uncertainty measurement takes into consideration between and within laboratory variances.
