Extracting information from geochemical data

Most specialists strongly recommend to sample every meter of the drill core or of a trench and to use multielement analysis, rather than just asking the laboratory for gold test. There are also many other types of analysis that are ignored by the industry. But even when such analyses are requested, most of the time the fed geologist is not well trained on the necessary techniques and methods to extract all the information contained in the data.
This seminar will teach you what to ask and how to extract all the important information of your data

Why should you attend:
You, as a person making decisions on where to drill or how to manage your exploration budget, will benefit from this seminar that will show you all types of analyses that can be requested to help you in your exploration goal- finding the new ore body.
You will also learn how to extract all the important information of your data, including the use of compositional data analysis.



Areas Covered in the Session:

How to determine the type o sampling
How to determine the type of assays
General processing of the data

Representing the results



Who will benefit:

Geologists
Geochemists
Exploration personnel
Graduate students
