QA/QC
Surface samples are collected in the field at the Larder Gold project site and divided into 2 samples. One sample is sent ActLabs in Timmins, Ontario for assay and the other half is secured and retained on site. All samples are analyzed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning greater than 5.0 g/t gold are analyzed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Certified reference standards and blanks are routinely inserted into the sample stream as part of Gatling's quality control/quality assurance program.
