Michel David facebook November 17, 2021 · At the drill rig, the rock, which has been ground up to 0-3/4, is collected in a special bag, which has a bar code. Every 5 feet, the sample bag is changed. So we will have 20 bags every hundred feet. Each bag contains ALL the rock over the 5 foot interval and weighs approx 12 pounds. At the same time, a splitter at the cyclone removes about 2 ounces of rock for every five feet and is put in a chip tray with 20 compartments. This is the rock that the geologist uses to study rock characteristics, usually with a microscope. The sample bags are sent directly from the drill to the assay lab resulting in a very representative sample. ALL of the sample is used for the assay. Lots of work but worth it!
