This course builds essential skills for effective geological sampling in exploration and resource evaluation. It covers designing and prioritizing sampling schedules, collecting representative samples from trenches, outcrops, drill holes, and stockpiles, and organizing geophysical and geochemical data. Training includes industry-standard QA/QC practices and hands-on work with drill core—maintaining orientation, photographing core, assessing recovery and RQD, preparing samples for assay, and documenting observations to NI 43-101 standards. Emphasis is placed on precision, consistency, and systematic recording to ensure high-quality geological data.
