⛏️ Did You Know? – What Happens to Drill Core After it is Collected

🪨Collecting drill core is just the beginning.

Once core samples are recovered from below surface, they undergo a detailed review process that helps geologists better understand deposits like Donlin Gold.

The process includes:
📸 Photography and documentation — each core sample is carefully recorded to preserve important geological information.
🪨 Geological logging — geologists examine the rock’s characteristics, including rock type, structure, alteration, and mineralization.
🔬 Laboratory analysis — selected samples are tested to determine gold content and other important geological characteristics.
💻 Data interpretation — results from drilling and analysis are combined to help build a more complete understanding of the deposit.

Every meter of drill core provides valuable information about the rocks beneath the surface and the geological processes that shaped the region over millions of years.

Behind every discovery is a foundation built on science, data, and analysis. 🌎
