Import Tips

Submit XRF analysis confirming anatase polymorph via diffraction patterns to prevent confusion with synthetic TiO2

Include mining license copies verifying natural ore status versus laboratory-produced material

Report gross weight and metal content separately, following statistical note requirements for assay quantities
