This document discusses sampling methods for minerals exploration. It defines sampling as collecting portions of rock to determine overall quality and composition. There are various sampling equipments, types (chemical, technological, technical), and methods (surface, underground, channel, chip, grab, bulk, drill hole). Accuracy depends on proper spacing, sufficient samples, correct locations and weights. Errors can occur from improper techniques or analysis. Overall, sampling aims to closely represent the full material's value and is useful for exploration stages.
Geological sample preparation is a vital stage in the analytical process, given the highly variable nature of mineral samples. The purpose of sample preparation is the production of homogeneous sub-sample, representative of the material submitted to the laboratory.

Applications of quartering method in soils and foodsIJERA Editor
Sampling is a technique and a science. If the appropriate technique is followed it reduces the bulk mass and helps to respect the batch composition as best as possible. Non-representative sampling results in incorrect analysis. Soils and foods are materials constantly assessed. Subsampling methods, as conning and quartering are applied in solid samples. Then they could be functional in soils, and granular foods, like grains, cereals or nuts. The method is very dependent on the skill of the operator then great care must be taken when obtaining a sample by coning and quartering. It has some advantages, like the easiness, cleanness and inexpensiveness. But it is usually inaccurate and can provide non-representative samples.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Introduction
Sampling of minerals deposits is an important aspect
of geological exploration. Which involves the process
of collecting lots or portions of productive rocks or
ores. The main purpose is to determine the quality (or)
composition of a material. According to ‘Boxter and
park’ sampling is defined as “ the process of taking a
small portion of an article such that a consistency of
the portion shall be the representative of whole”.
4. Sample Definition
Sample ,which is a finite part of a statistical
population whose properties are studied to gain
information about the whole. .The value of a
sample depends on the volume or quantity of
material which actually represents and the
degree of accuracy it represents.
5. Sampling Equipments
As we know for successful sampling procedure the
following pieces of equipment are necessary. The
equipments are depends on which method we apply for
sampling. Some of the equipments are scoop,
Canvas sheets, sampling buckets, clear sample bags,
pocket compass, measuring tape, aneroid barometer,
large boxes with locks, twine, wax, seals, pencil, liner
sleeping tags ,drill rods,spear,brushes etc……..
In addition, if the mine is in operation the following
equipments are used like hammers and picks, drills,
gads, brushes, moils, shovels, brooms, transits miner
pick mechanical dividing sampler etc……

7. Basis of Sampling
For the analytical results obtained to have any validity or meaning
it is essential that appropriate sampling procedures be adopted.
Thus sampling methods have 3 main groups.
Those in which all the material is examined.
Causal sampling on ad-hoc basis.
Methods in which portions of the material are selected based on
upon statistical properties.
The method 1 is impracticable due to its excessive material and
time consuming for analysis, method 2 is a unscientific in this
case as the taking of sampling is entirely casual, any true form of
analytical control or supervision is impossible, a method 3 is only
reliable basis for sampling based on statistical probabilities. Here
small portion is analyzed first and then go for further sampling
plan .
8. Types of Sampling
In sampling we have mainly three types they are :
Chemical sampling:- In chemical sampling the samples
are taken for assaying and determining the content
valuable and deleterious components in the body of the
useful minerals.
Technological sampling:- In this method samples are
collected for the study of technological properties of the
raw material made in the course of its beneficiation and
processing .
Technical sampling:- Samples are taken to study a
technical properties of raw materials which does not
requires metallurgical or chemical treatment.
(Mineralogical sampling, Geo-physical sampling)
9. Methods of Sampling
Sampling methods vary from simple grab samples on
existing exposures to sophisticated drilling methods.
Generally there are two sampling methods such as :
Surface sampling
Under ground sampling
In any method of sampling , the records kept are as
important as in the field practice it is used. Here ,type of
sample, size of sample, true thickness of vein, intervals
between sample location, naming of samples date and
other relevant data are to be recorded. Experience in
sampling profession provides for deciding the proper
spacing and number of samples to be taken and selection
of methods .
10. Continue…….
The important surfacial
sampling methods are
as follows:
Channel sampling,
Groove sampling, chip
sampling, Muck
sampling, grab sampling,
Car sampling and chute
sampling
Drill whole sampling
11. continue……
The some of important underground
sampling methods.
Face sampling
Regular channel or groove sampling
Pick sampling
Grab sampling
Muck- pile samples
Car and chute samples
Bulk sampling
Drill sampling
Churan drill samples
Diamond drill samples
Rock drill samples (with piston/hammer drill)
12. Grab sampling
As the term indicates that grab sampling is not true
sampling. A specimen picked up from ore or a mineral
deposits or a portion of mineralized rock, which taken
out of an ore body are called grab samples. The samples
are taken and analyzed to obtain a preliminary idea
about the nature and grade of whole deposit a, to know
appreciate metal content.
13.
14. Channel or Groove or Trench
Sampling
It is the most accepted method of sampling which
best suited to bedded, banded and vein type of
deposits, this method consist of cutting channels
across the face of exposed ore and collecting
resulting chips, fragments and dust from each
channels to make a sample. In some cases the
channel may also be cut along a line making a
small angle with thickness of deposit The process
involves the following steps.
15. Continue……
The exposure is cleaned first and remove the
unwanted materials.
If necessary the rock face may be trimmed at cutting
point of the deposit.
The location of channel is marked by a set of parallel
lines.
The inner part is excavated keeping a constant channel
cross section.
Finally excavated material is collected, pulvariesed
carefully and sampling site is labeled. The cutting of
channels depends on ore body or metal deposit.
16.
17. Chip or point sampling
The method is less laborious and used as a regular
method of known samples, is used for hard or
uniform ores where it is difficult to cut channels. In
this method the samples are collected by taking a
small series of chips of rocks on a regular grid pattern
from the working face in regular intervals. The
blasted, broken material are sampled. The shape of
grid is adopted to the morphology and structure of
deposit. The main advantage of this sampling is its
high productivity.
18.
19. Face or Muck or Lump Sampling
The term face sampling covers sampling of exposed
faces of ore and waste, this method of taking samples
may be referred to the group of point sampling. One of
three lumps of rocks are gathered in the face are taken
from a pile of broken mineral with the purpose of
finding deforming mineral and also the chemical
composition. It is very simple, quick and cheap
procedure but the accuracy of this method is very low.
20. Bulk Sampling
This type sampling method is used in checking of
the reliability of other types of samples and
sometimes may be taken to determine a correction
factor for use in a estimate based on samples of other
types. The samples are taken by blasting down drift
blocks or a section in a stope or otherwise obtaining a
sample of several tons to several hundreds or even
thousands of tons, either from trench, pit ,channelor
from the run-of-mine, where the entire lot is milled
separately .
21. Drill hole sampling
This method is more convenient for the determination of
the deposits boundaries. Here samples consists of the
cuttings from drill holes. The samples are usually collected
beyond the walls of underground working with a constant
cross section.
Drill hole sampling methods:- The methods are classified
based on the type of equipment employed.
Drive pipe method, churn drilling, rotary drilling,
percussion rock drilling (test hole drilling ) etc...
Planar sampling:- This method is relatively rare
procedure employed on deposits having a very low
content of useful minerals.
e.g.:- pt, Au, cassiterite etc…
22.
23. Errors in Sampling
Due to various factor inhert and imposed numerous
errors are possible in the case of sampling and analysis
there are mainly two types of errors. Random and
systematic errors. The errors in sampling is mainly due
to following reasons,
Improper spacing in samples
In sufficient number of samples
Improper location of samples
Incorrect weighting of assay
Failure to recognize ore, thus leaving it unsampled.
Improper chemical analysis and salting
24. Conclusion
Sampling is a method of ascertaining the composition
and properties of minerals and establishing their
grade.
Thus there are many ways to sample and many
methods to calculate the value of a sediment.
The important concept is that a sample should
represent as closely as possible the value contained in
the material from which it is taken.
The sampling is useful in almost all the stages of
exploration.
