Introduction
 This course provides comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of assay validation for quality assurance and control of mineral assays. The course covers regulatory expectations regarding validation as contained in Australia and International regulations and guidelines. This course will prepare attendees to plan and execute effective and compliant method validation plans. There will be an opportunity to apply what you have learned in a validation workshop.
Upon completion of this course, attendees will have a clear understanding of regulatory agency expectations and will have gained the background knowledge necessary to effectively plan assay validation programs. Participants will develop expertise in writing protocols and reports and in setting acceptance limits for assay validation. Participants will have acquired insight into how to avoid common validation pitfalls and be able to quickly discriminate compliant from non-compliant validation activities.
Course Benefits
The METS Assaying Short Course provides a comprehensive overview of sample preparation and assay techniques utilised by the resources sector.
The course examines the issues of best practise with regards to sample preparation and assay techniques for ensuring the highest quality data. Given the high cost of generating samples for assay, and the necessity for accurate results from a management decision making and reporting perspective this is vital in the resources sector. Participants are provided with comprehensive course notes on CD covering the basic theoretical and practical aspects of copper processing. This will serve as a valuable resource for later reference.
