Know Your Sampling: A deep dive into professional and accurate sampling for analysis of precious metals

November 14 from 14:00 to 16:00 o’clock

Imagine you could sample precious metals like a pro and get accurate and consistent results every time. Whether you are in the recycling, trading, or production business, you know how important it is to have reliable data from your samples. But you also know how challenging it is to sample different materials, such as catalytic converters, jewellery scrap, wires, bushings, and gauzes, that are highly heterogeneous and variable. How do you make sure that your samples reflect the true composition of the whole lot? How do you handle and transport your samples without introducing errors and biases? How do you choose the right analytical method and deal with conflicting results from different labs?

If you are looking for answers to these questions, then you need to attend this workshop. You will learn from Professor Kim H. Esbensen, Ph.D., Dr. (h.c.), ATV, a senior consultant at KHE Consulting and a world-class expert and consultant in sampling with over 40 years of experience in science, technology, research, and education. He will show you the secrets of representative sampling and how it can make a huge difference in the quality and reliability of your analytical data and decisions. He will also reveal the pitfalls of the "Assay Exchange" paradigm and how to avoid them with the Theory and Practice of Representative Sampling (TOS).

This workshop is a must for anyone who wants to take their sampling skills to the next level and gain a competitive edge in the precious metals market. Don't let this chance pass you by. Join us for this workshop and become a sampling superstar!

We are excited to offer this workshop to anyone who is interested in learning more about representative sampling. We welcome you to join us!
