Sample management and QA/QC in mining and mineral exploration

Takween's sample management and QA/QC service for mining and mineral exploration protects the chain of confidence from the drill site to the laboratory. Controlled handling, clear custody and practical quality control preserve the integrity of every core tray and sample bag, so your assay results can be trusted.

Core and chip handling

Core trays and RC chip samples are handled, labelled and photographed under controlled procedures, so every interval can be traced back to its hole and depth.

Sampling, splitting and dispatch

We prepare samples to the programme's protocol, split them where required and dispatch them to the laboratory with complete, checked paperwork.

Chain of custody

Every sample movement is recorded, from the rig or core yard to the laboratory. A clear chain of custody protects the value of your results and supports defensible reporting.

QA/QC monitoring

Quality control samples, such as standards, blanks and duplicates, are inserted and monitored throughout the programme. Results outside tolerance are flagged quickly, investigated and reported, so problems are fixed before they reach the model.

Core yard and storage

A well-organised core yard keeps trays accessible for relogging, resampling and site visits long after drilling ends. We set up and run core handling areas so trays, photographs and records stay together and easy to find.

Why it matters

A single mix-up between samples can undermine a whole batch of assays. Controlled procedures, independent checks and clear records protect the value of every metre you drill.

Connected to drilling and data

Sample management links directly to our diamond core and RC drilling crews and to our exploration data team, so the samples, the paperwork and the database always agree.
