Exploration and sample evidence

Protect Sample Identity From Collection to Review

Connect field collection, sample identity, custody, laboratory submissions and reviewed results in one traceable path. Geology and laboratory teams retain technical authority at every decision.

Start With Identity, Custody and Review Rules

The record model preserves where an identifier came from, who handled the item, which container or batch carried it, what the laboratory was asked to do and how a reviewer handled exceptions. Corrections supersede prior events with traceable reasons instead of deleting inconvenient history.

An Uploaded File Is Not an Accepted Result

A useful import design defines expected identifiers, analytes, methods, units, qualifiers and duplicate rules before a file arrives. It preserves the source, isolates mismatches and records the authorised decision. The assessment also identifies which specialist system remains authoritative for interpretation and estimation.

OreLynx applies this control path to the approved sample identifiers, custody process, laboratory exchanges and review rules.

What the Assessment Produces

  • A sample identity and relabelling rule that accounts for field and laboratory identifiers.
  • A custody event model with authorised actors, correction rules and required evidence.
  • An import contract defining expected columns, units, qualifiers, source retention and exception states.
  • A reconciliation owner and acceptance test for missing, duplicate, unexpected and superseded records.

Exploration and sample features

Protect Sample Identity From Collection to Review

Exploration teams can keep campaign context, custody, laboratory exchanges and technical review evidence connected.

01

Campaign and sample setup

Connect programmes, sites, work areas, methods, sample types, numbering rules and responsible teams.

02

Custody transfers

Record dispatch, receipt, seals, containers, expected contents, discrepancies, dates and accountable people.

03

Laboratory submissions

Prepare submission sets, track acknowledgements and reconcile expected samples against received results.

04

Results and QA/QC review

Separate import errors, missing results and QA/QC exceptions from records ready for qualified technical review.

Bring one real workflow. We’ll map these functions to your roles, records, systems and acceptance scenarios.
