Hi there! Great video. I just noticed that the Geo collected the Beta angle in Kenometer setting the apical trace (lowest point of curvature) in the 0 degree mark, and collected the angle where the oriented-line hits the kenometer. Is also acceptable to set the 0 degree mark in the oriented-line, and then collect the Beta angle where the apical trace hits the Kenometer?
@GeologyUpSkill2 жыл бұрын
Either method will work. The absolute rule is to make sure everyone working on the core uses the same system and the people using the data know which method you are using.

Great video. How do you mark it if you lost continuity? For instance if some of the mineral (sand) washed out.
@GeologyUpSkill2 ай бұрын
Conventions varybetween different companies, but normally, the orientation line on the bottom of the core is simply stopped at the break. If it can be continued (at lower confidence) a different colour or pattern of line may be used.

Hoping you can help me understand a part that i maybe missing is do you only send to the lab a samples of the strike areas of the core that you suspect is where the targeted mineral is located in the core. Normally as an investor i only see the sheets of the cores, concentrations of the target minerals and depth of strike
@GeologyUpSkill2 жыл бұрын
It is standard practice in most companies to assay the entire length of the drill hole. It may not be necessary where there is a very well understood barren unit (such as cover sediments), but in all other rocks, it helps to build trust in the final resource and sterilize any surrounding rocks for the infrastructure development.

Thank you for this educative video. Can kindly explain the aspect of mark up the core with respect to the driller orientation? I did not get the explanation in the video very well/ Thanks
@GeologyUpSkill2 жыл бұрын
The driller maks a line that represents the lowest edge of the core in each drill run. The geologist then tries to match up those marks from run to run. If they match well, you can be confident that the orientations are good and you can mark a line along the core that represents the bottom side of the core. Of course this only work for holes that are drilled at an angle. Vertical holes have no bottom side!

Good presentation, but the pristine core here doesn't represent the broken and/or ground stuff that's often only partly recovered - i.e. the real world. How do the drillers know the bottom of the hole? Do they use a special non-rotating core barrel?
@GeologyUpSkill6 ай бұрын
Most of the core orientation tools mark the bottom of hole on the last piece of core before it is broken off from the bottom of hole. That gives some certainty about the position. If the core can be fitted back together, the orientation line can be drawn back up the hole until the fit is not possible.

Hey mate, great video...Im currently a drillers assistant working in Port Headland and looking to do a Bsc degree in geology with open university, do you think it would be a worthwhile course which would let me move in to a entry level geologist role in mining?

I don't have any experience with open university. Probably best to ask a few potential employer companies if they accept that degree as qualification. If so, go for it.

@GeologyUpSkill2 жыл бұрын
The general system would be the same, but each company will have different tools to get the job done. VMS deposits may require special handling of the core because it can produce a lot of acid in contact with water, particularly if it is partially oxidised.
