Comprehensive Expert Training for Geoscience Professionals: From Laboratory Audits to Analytical Mastery in Mineral Exploration and Quality Control.
How to Audit a Laboratory
Seminar by: Barry W. Smee , Ph.D, FGC
Many geoscientists do not really understand what happens to samples in the laboratory, or more importantly, what should happen to the samples. Before beginning an exploration program, both the primary and the secondary laboratory should be examined by the geological team.
Quality Control in Mineral Exploration
Seminar by: Barry W. Smee , Ph.D, FGC
Full-scale quality control (QC) procedures to monitor the sampling and analysis of geological materials have only routinely been used in mineral exploration since 1997 or so, although this author has been publishing methods to be used in QC programs for over 30 years. A full QC program is now a mandatory component of “Best Practices” for mineral exploration in Canada, Australia and South Africa and is dictated in Canada by National Instrument 43-101.
Use and Abuse of Selective Extraction
Partial, selective or cold chemical extractions have recently been employed as geochemical tools that have been given the powers to detect mineral deposits through varying thicknesses of overburden. These analytical extractions are thought to be breakthrough…
