What does this programme cover?

Mineral exploration QA/QC failures surface late and cost dearly: a drill programme reports high-grade intercepts, but missing blanks, drifting reference material results, poorly split duplicates and unchecked database tables leave the competent person unable to vouch for the assays, and resource estimates are downgraded or delayed. This Core Concept course trains exploration teams to design and run a QA/QC programme, from sampling protocols and chain of custody to control sample insertion, QC charting, laboratory audits and database checks. Participants produce an Exploration QA/QC Programme and QC Data Review for a case project.
