In mineral exploration, the integrity of core samples from retrieval to analysis is paramount. At the wellsite, cores are precisely extracted using specialized cutting tools, with immediate, meticulous labeling to record depth, orientation, and geological context. These labels, durable against environmental and handling stress, are mirrored on the core boxes for consistency in tracking. The transportation process is carefully controlled, employing core boxes or core container that protect the samples against damage and environmental changes, ensuring the core’s condition remains unaltered. Core box labeling not only facilitates physical management but is also integrated with digital tracking systems, providing real-time updates and comprehensive management of the subsurface samples through their journey from the wellsite to the lab. This meticulous process is the backbone of subsurface sample management, safeguarding the geological narrative held within each core.
