I suppose bagging would have certain advantages. A seal can be put on the bags. At final destination if the bag is not broken and the seal is not broken the integrity of the sample should not be in question.
Bagging would permit transport by flat decks, low beds and "banana boats". Banana boats are odd looking fuel tankers that have a flat deck on top for flexibility in getting back hauls.(very popular in Northern ALberta) Flat decks might be more practical for hauling in equipment than gravel boxes.
In addition to sealing, each bag could be individually tagged with specific location and particulars and prevent any confusion in the final analysis.
If there were any accidents or turnovers on the way, bagging might prevent the loss, contamination or mixing of the ore.
