Sampling
 Sampling is a process of taking a part of lot ( total collection of material) on which
determination will be carried out; each part of the lot must have an equal probability of
being selected into the sample.

 Key word : representatives

 Sample is different with specimens

 In production, sampling commonly taken by drilling process

SAMPLING GEOKIMIA
 Objectives:

Mendapatkan suatu bagian yang representatif untuk suatu

material target yang tertentu.

Untuk mendapatkan bagian yang representatif harus diperhatikan

faktor-faktor :
1. Geological variability
2. Special problems with particulate elements like gold
3. Kontaminasi
- di lapangan
- di lab
4. Quality control
- sampling
- analysis
 OBJECTIVES:
1. Search for mineralization
2. Assessment of the mineralization found

 TAHAP-TAHAP PENCONTOAN – ANALYSIS GEOKIMIA :

1. Sampling
- orientation
- Spacing
- Method of collection Geologist
2. Sample Selection Responsibility
- Mass Reduction
(usually in the field)
3. Sample preparation
- Mass and Particle size reduction
4. Analysis
Lab Responsibility
- Dissolution
- Concentration
- Determination
Channel Sampling

Urutannya
1. Target outcrop
2. Pembersihan
3. Buat akses dan posisi aman
4. Penandaan batas sampling yg continuous
5. Pemotongan (10-15 cm depth, lebar 10-15cm)
6. Pendataan oleh geos
7. Pengambilan batunya sesuai target batas
8. pemotongan dan penomoran
9. dst. seperti sample biasa
Drilling : Grade Control - RC
Reverse circulation drilling (RC)
Air flow goes down the annulus between
the rod wall and the inner tube, across
the face of the bit and back up the inner
tube
A venture effect is create by splitting the
air stream
Sample : cutting
Drilling : Grade Control by Core Drilling
Core drilling for deep holes
provides full sample recovery
below the water table from man-
portable to skid-mounted to truck-
mounted.

Sample : core
Channel & Drilling – Vein Type
 Drilling Design
 5m x10m staggered grid in the ore/mineralised zone
 10m by 10m rectangular grid in the waste zones. If ore is encountered in the waste
then this pattern will make infill drilling easier and it will tie in with the ore pattern

ORE WASTE Ore encounter in Waste

PbZn Ore Body Inferred Fault
Several Facts

• Limestone-skarnified ore mineralization

Hole: ZK-6-13
Several Facts

• Volcanics-skarnified ore mineralization

Hole: ZK-4-8
Ore Mineralization is opened to east and west
However, it will be going deeper  more costly
QAQC
 Assay result must have good accuracy and precision.
 How we control ?
Quality control materials is inserted every certain number of samples.
Those quality control material such as :

CRM ( Certified Reference Material ) :

Purpose : Significant variations from the recommended values of certified reference materials
indicate that bias is present in the laboratory procedure and rectification is in order.

Rig Duplicate : The primary sample and duplicate are expected to have the same assay results.

Coarse Blank : Barren material-near or at the detection limit

placed as the leading QC material to check possible contamination from the previous batch of
sample analysis.
QAQC
 “ Precision and Accuracy ”

Precision : a measure of how close to the same value are different analyses
of the same material by the same method ≈ reproducibility,
repeatability
Accuracy: a measure of how close the reported results are to the “true”
or actual value
