Soil Testing Services

Companies who engage in soil sampling must adhere to these protocols as well. In mineral exploration, soil samples are typically collected from a specific soil horizon (horizon-based sampling), such as a humus layer (H-horizon), a B-horizon soil or a C-horizon soil. The various layers allow for more targeted exploration for certain metals or ...

Generative Exploration – Soil Sampling

The advantages of soil sampling as a generative exploration tool are numerous. Soil sampling is the process by which underlying, weathered rock or transported deposits are tested for mineral values. Prior to sampling the mineral prospect, discuss with a consultant the commodity, geology, and the erosional/geomorphological conditions in the area.
