This document outlines a comprehensive quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program for geological field work, emphasizing meticulous sample collection, handling, and laboratory analysis procedures. It details various QC sample types (duplicates, blanks, standards, external controls) and their frequencies to minimize errors and ensure data accuracy. A standardized rock naming system, integrating alteration, mineral composition, texture, and mineralization, is proposed for consistent field descriptions. The text also includes appendices with flowcharts and tables to guide field geologists in rock identification and classification. Finally, the author's extensive experience in the mining industry is highlighted. https://www.amazon.ca/Exploring-Geological-Data-CoDaPack-iNZight/dp/1548620335?tag=operapc-def-sp-cos-ca-20 P. Geo.
