Basic 3 Quality Assurance Quality Control (B3Q Toolkit)

In the mining industry, QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) is essential for reliable deposit evaluation. Octoplus Information Solutions (Pty) Ltd has developed a set of QA/QC tools to assist resource estimators and laboratories with sampling data analysis. These tools assess both precision and accuracy.

Whether you're an independent professional or part of a large organization, our software makes QAQC audits simple, efficient, and accessible.

Leveraging the trusted foundation of JMP, our software offers cutting-edge QAQC functionality within a highly stable, self-contained environment. This minimizes external risks, ensuring consistent, uninterrupted performance, an ideal solution for organizations that prioritise reliability and risk mitigation.

B3Q Toolkit Features:

  • Comprehensive Statistical Analysis – Full-spectrum analysis, including precision, accuracy, contamination checks, and advanced outlier detection, all in one package.
  • Proprietary Outlier Detection & Method Precision – Leverage our unique Method Precision for accurate, tailored outlier detection and precision assessment, specifically designed for mining assay results.
  • Automated Data Logging & Auditing – Seamlessly log every result in an audit-ready format for easy future reference and compliance.
  • Customizable Analysis Parameters – Fully customizable lookup and control tables to tailor the analysis process to your specific requirements.
  • Smart Control Table Generation – Automatically generate control tables based on available data in your system (customization may be required depending on your setup).
  • Lab-Specific Precision Benchmarking with Method Precision – Use Method Precision to calculate lab-specific precision benchmarks from historical data, compare new results, set meaningful standards, and monitor ongoing lab performance.
  • Instantaneous Data Processing – Analyse large datasets quickly and efficiently, ensuring timely, reliable results without sacrificing accuracy.
  • Proven, Reliable Software – Built on the trusted power of JMP, ensuring reliable and stable performance backed by industry-leading analytical tools.
  • Comprehensive Training & Support – Access both standard and personalized training, plus dedicated support to ensure smooth implementation and ongoing success.
  • Expert Development Team – Our experienced team is continually improving the toolkit to meet evolving industry needs.
  • Effortless Installation – Get started quickly with simple, straightforward installation — just download and go.
  • Direct Database Integration – The option is available to pull lab data directly from your own database into the software for enhanced efficiency.

B3Q Toolkit Modules: Basic 3 QAQC

  1. B3Q Paired Data Analysis – Calculates precision, identifies outliers.
  2. B3Q Blanks & Standards – Assesses accuracy, detects contamination.
  3. B3Q Method Precision Calculation – Determines method precision.
    • Control Table Management Tools – Maintain control tables efficiently.

1. B3Q Paired Data Analysis Module

Paired assay results (e.g., field or pulp duplicates) are matched and evaluated using scatter plots, QQ-plots, outlier methods, and precision statistics. All rejected data is saved for audit.

B3Q Blanks & Standards

Certified reference materials assess accuracy (%Bias), and blanks check contamination. Control charts and bias statistics are generated, with outliers flagged and stored separately.

B3Q Method Precision Module

Calculates slope/intercept for lab-specific method precision using historical results. This reduces unnecessary reanalysis and saves costs while ensuring quality control.

Training Offered

  • Data Exploration (1 day) – Navigate JMP, manage data, explore graphically.
  • Measurement System Analysis (1 day) – Understand variation, gauge studies.
  • B3Q Toolkit (1 day) – Use the Toolkit, analyse paired data and standards.

This 3-day course helps users understand QAQC and statistical tools.
