¶1OPINION OF THE COURT
¶2In 1988, in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia, the appellant, Israel Lisboy, was convicted of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Appellant was sentenced to three to six years imprisonment, and a fine of fifteen thousand dollars was imposed. An appeal was taken to the Superior Court, whereupon the judgment of sentence was affirmed. The present appeal, by allowance, ensued.
¶3*356The sole issue presented is whether the mandatory sentencing provision in 18 Pa.C.S. § 7508(a)(3), under which the present sentence was imposed, was properly applied. This provision specifies a mandatory minimum sentence in cases where possession of controlled substances has involved quantities exceeding certain statutorily specified minimum weights. The present conviction resulted from appellant having been in possession of 18.77 grams of a mixture of powder containing cocaine. Appellant was sentenced under subparagraph (a)(3)(ii) of the statute, which is applicable where possession has involved a quantity of at least ten grams. Appellant asserts that the weight of the pure cocaine in the mixture, rather than the combined weight of the cocaine and the adulterants such as. cutting agents in the mixture, should determine whether the mandatory sentencing provision is applicable. For the reasons stated in the opinion filed this day in Commonwealth v. Corporan, — Pa.-, 613 A.2d 530 (1992), this assertion is without merit.
¶4Order affirmed.
