To ensure an accurate gold concentration determination, individuals mix samples of mixed minerals on canvases using their hands or tools to achieve uniformity throughout and maintain consistent quality control measures such as uniform distribution across variables like geological conditions during formation and mining methods used for extraction. This also aids better understanding of ore quality distribution which is crucial when planning subsequent mining operations to maximize profit margins within given constraints, while minimizing environmental impact from inefficient resource utilization patterns. - Mixing the samples in canvas with rolled edges
People are mixing the sample in canvas with rolled edges. - Rolling the edges of canvas to easier mix the sample
When canvas appears too long, the edges could be rolled to easier mix the sample. - The sample has to be mixed well by using canvas, in opposite directions
Sample must be mixed well by rolling the canvas from one side to other and then exchanging the directions and rolling it again from side to side. - Mixing and rolling of the sample on ground

This is plastic canvas for tents. We are using this to mix the sample quickly on ground, without loosing any piece of soil. - Incorrect: canvas too small for sample
On this picture we are using the canvas and rolling method to mix the sample. But the sample is clearly too big for this square of nylon to be mixed.
