Quality Control Southwestern has implemented a quality control program to ensure best practice in lithogeochemical sampling and analysis of soil, rock chips, trench, tunnel and drill core samples. All drill core samples (approximately two metre, half-core composites) are shipped directly in security sealed bags to the SGS-China Laboratories preparation facility in Kunming. The entire composite is prepped to -10 mesh and a 500 gram split is sent to the SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Ltd. facility in Tianjan for conventional fire assay using a 50 gram charge. Other elements are analyzed using ICP (1) (Internet Cache Protocol) A protocol used by one proxy server to query another for a cached Web page without having to go to the Internet to retrieve it.
