Published by The Association of Exploration Geochemists
In an environment of increasing accountability, the Association of Exploration Geochemists has taken the initiative to develop international standards for writing geochemical reports.
The guidelines are applicable for the preparation of early-phase exploration geochemical surveys and are directed toward geologists and geochemists who write reports for distribution to joint venture partners, regulatory authorities or within a corporation. The guidelines focus on preparation of a report that provides a systematic and permanent record of the work performed. The underlying premise is that a reader must be able to confirm the interpretations of the writer particularly with regard to definition of areas prospective for mineralization.
Additional copies of the 38-page booklet are available at a cost of US$15 for members (all members should have received one in the mail, at no cost) and US$20 for non-members. A digital version has been purchased by several major international corporations for internal distribution, usually posted on their intra-nets, and can be acquired at a cost of US $100.
