Prophecy Platinum Corporation – <strong>Wellgreen</strong> Property – <strong>Project</strong> 50149-001<br />

Specific Mineral Search (SMS) analyses were performed on each of the submitted polished sections.<br />

Particle Mineral Analysis (PMA) is a two-dimensional mapping analysis aimed at resolving liberation and<br />

locking characteristics of a generic set of particles. A pre-defined number of particles are mapped at a<br />

point spacing selected in order to spatially resolve and describe mineral textures and associations.<br />

Specific Mineral Search is a modified particle mapping routine aimed at resolving liberation and locking<br />

characteristics of a set of particles, specifically a phase that reports as a low-grade constituent. The<br />

results of the QEMSCAN analyses are presented in Appendix G.<br />

2.2.1. Sample Receipt and Description<br />

A ground sample of the overall master <strong>com</strong>posite with an average K80 of 100 µm was submitted for<br />

mineralogy. The sample was screened to form three size fractions; +75, -75/+25, and -25 µm. A portion of<br />

each fraction was submitted for Cu, Ni, S and WRA analyses for data validation. Polished epoxy grain<br />

mounts were prepared for each size fraction and were submitted for analyses using QEMSCAN<br />

technology. These results are further discussed in the assay reconciliation portion of this section.<br />

2.2.2. Analytical Quality Control<br />

Analytical quality control is conducted by <strong>com</strong>paring the chemical analysis determined mineralogically by<br />

QEMSCAN with the chemical analyses obtained from standard assaying techniques.<br />

Key QEMSCAN elemental assays, calculated from the mineral <strong>com</strong>position have been regressed with the<br />

chemical assays and this is presented in Figure 1. The overall correlation, as measured by R-squared<br />

criteria, was 0.99 and is considered acceptable.<br />
