DESCRIPTION sodium by chemical methoos to demonstra te homo­

MW-l is a sample of iron ore concentrate geneity sufficient for use as a compositional
from the Mount Wright deposit of Quebec Cartier reference material.
Mining Company. It is essentially specular hema­
tite with minor to trace amounts of quartz, iron
silicates and ilmenite. The bulk material was
passed through an 82 m sh screen, blended and CERTIFlCA ION
bot tIed in 200-g units. the stock was sampled MW-l was characterized by an interlabora­
systematically for analysis for iron, silicon and tory analysis program. The recommended values are
titanium by X-ray fluorescence and for silicon and the unweighted means of the following:
