GEOCHEMICAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUE AND

ANALYTICAL METHODS

Sampling Stream Sediment:

The sample is col lec ted , wherever poss ib le , from active stream bedusing a s t a i n l e s s s t e e l scoop t o g a t h e r a s much f ine material a s possible . k r a f t p a p e r bag. Vancouver l a b o r a t o r y where it is f u r t h e r dr ied, s i e v e d t o r80 mesh size and d i g e s t e d f o r ana lys i s .

A 500g t o 1.3kg sample is placed in a s u i t a b l y numbered The sample is dried in air and shipped t o t h e

Sampling Soils:

The sample is col lec ted , wherever poss ib le , from t h e B horizon using a combination of g r u b hoe, geopick and s t a i n l e s s s t e e l scoop. The dep th t o t h e B horizon varies b u t is u s u a l l y within 5 0 c m of t h e s u r f a c e . Samplers are i n s t r u c t e d t o show a p r e f e r e n c e f o r r u s t r c o l o u r e d samples from t h i s horizon. A 300g t o 500g sample is placed in a s u i t a b l y numbered k r a f t p a p e r bag. The sample is dried in air and shipped t o t h e Vancouver l a b o r a t o r y where it is f u r t h e r dried, s i e v e d t o -80 mesh size and digested f o r ana lys i s .

Sampling Rock:

Rock chip samples for a n a l y s i s are c o l l e c t e d using a n a v e r a g e sample size of 300g, u sua l ly made up of 5 t o 1 0 ch ips from lcc t o lOcc in size. and shipped t o t h e Vancouver l a b o r a t o r y where t h e y are c r u s h e d and pulver ized f o r ana lys i s .

The samples are p laced in s u i t a b l y numbered bags

ANALYTICAL METHODS:
