The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) has developed field and lab methods protocols to guide till sample collection, processing, geochemical analysis the matrix, monitoring quality assurance/quality control, archiving procedures for reconnaissance- local-scale surveys. most significant concepts are described in this paper. Continued long-term use these will ultimately allow GSC researchers integrate contrast multiple datasets ensure minimum levels assurance control all data. This set is first established Canadian sampling represents a contribution GSC’s Geo-mapping Energy Minerals (GEM) Program. Sharing knowledge on with international community other explorationists adopt similar procedures. sharing comparison from various parts internationally as well ensuring level
