Sampling & QAQC

Appropriate Sampling and Quality Assurance /Quality Control (QA/QC) is essential in all aspects of the mineral deposit evaluation process to ensure the best possible confidence in resultant mineral resource and reserve estimates are achieved; the quality of an estimate is dependent on the quality of the data used.


Approach

SRK have experienced personnel who can audit, review and advise on quality control procedures, in addition to performing data reviews during all project phases.

When reviewing QA/QC data, SRK typically considers two defined areas: review of the QA/QC procedures in place, and review of the QA/QC database.

 

Using a combination of analytical techniques and drawing upon their broad experience of best practice, SRK 's experts are capable of drawing pertinent  conclusions and making recommendations to clients to ensure compliance with international reporting codes.

SRK understands the importance of a managed QA/QC programme for all projects, ensuring data quality which forms the basis for all resource estimates.


Experience

SRK's resource consultants have extensive experience in reviewing QA/QC data from all project stages, and have experience setting  site and regional sampling protocols and associated QA/QC programmes. SRK has undertaken a number of projects managing electronic data capture, validation and management of QA/QC databases to ensure compliance with international reporting codes.
