QUALITY ASSURANCE /QUALITY CONTROL

Shemco possesses extensive knowledge and expertise across all phases of the exploration and mining cycle. The company is well-equipped to serve as an Independent Technical Reviewer or Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Auditor for exploration projects, focusing on data verification in compliance with reporting standards such as SAMREC and JORC, which are essential for publicly listed companies. Their role includes assessing the reliability, accuracy, and precision of sampling and assay data to ensure its suitability for mineral resource estimation.

Mineral exploration integrates geoscience and technological methods to identify and assess mineral deposits for economic viability. In resource estimation, Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) play an indispensable role, since the accuracy of mineral resource estimates depends on the reliability of the underlying data that form the resource model. Any bias or deficiency in data management may result in significant miscalculations of either the quantity or quality of the minerals present, leading to underestimation or overestimation of tons and/or grades.
