8.1.2.1 Reverse Circulation Sampling

Samples are collected in a conventional manner via a cyclone and standard wet splitter. Samples are collected in 17-in by 26-in cloth bags placed in five-gallon buckets to avoid material spillage. Sample bags are pre-marked by Lion CG personnel at five-foot intervals and include a numbered tag inserted into a plastic bag bearing the hole number and footage interval. Collected samples, weighing approximately 15 to 20 pounds each, are wire tied and then loaded onto a ten-foot trailer with a wood bed, allowing initial draining and drying. Each day, Lion CG personnel or the drillers at the end of their shift haul the sample trailer from the drill site to Lion CG's secure sample preparation warehouse in Yerington, Nevada.

Having been transported on a ten-foot trailer by drill crews or Lion CG personnel from the drill site to the secure sample warehouse, RC sample bags are unloaded onto suspended wire mesh frames for further drying. Diesel-charged space heaters assist in drying during the winter months. Once dry, four to five samples are combined in a 24-by-36-inch woven polypropylene transport ("rice") bag, wire tied and carefully loaded on plastic-lined pallets. Each pallet, holding approximately 13 to 15 rice bags, is shrink-wrapped and further secured with wire bands. Each pallet is weighed.
