Hello Guys!

I wanna ask something silly yet it's disturb me, 

can someone suggest what sampling method i should use, if there is a 100 Kg of ore, and i want to do a leaching test with only 0,15 Kg / Leaching test. 
is it ok if i split it to 12,5 Kg using cone quartering / riffle, then do a grab / random sampling 0,15 kg from it, or should i do the split 'till the weight of the ore is 0,15 Kg?

Note: there's no rotary splitter on my lab,

so which one is prefer? or maybe there's other method that i can use?

Best split 'till the weight of the ore is 150 grams.

Better yes is to do your leach test with 1000 grams
