Activities of the Prospector or Squad Chief
Report in the available topographical maps:
- Exact outline of the accomplished itinerary (if they are different from what was expected).
- Position of the petrographic samples.
- Position of the alluvial samples.
- Position of the geochemical samples.
Reports that need to be made in the camp booklet:
- Amount of geochemical samples and corresponding alluvials.
- Description of the alluvial samples with a magnifying glass.
Informs:
- Daily form of the accomplished jobs.
- If possible, the particular observations should be written on separate sheets.
Geological map
- Study of the petrographic samples (even of those picked up by the prospector) and their determination.
- Choosing of possible samples for the study in thin sheets.
- Study of the samples with mineralization and the choice for the study with light reflections (polished areas).
- Study of some alluvial samples in particularly interesting points.
- Report the data obtained in the field in the topographical map and draw the geological map (in the foreseen scale).
Monthly report
Technical report
The technical report can be structures as follows:
Introduction: general observations of the work conditions of the month (such as the state of the vehicles, diseases, accidents, etc.).
Statistic data: if possible for the general prospecting missions follow the following chart:

There are some that are very keen on giving a lot of importance to these statistics, although they are not always a sample of the efficiency of the work that has been done.
Geology:
Description of the features and petrographic series found and if a zone has ended, it can be objects of geological cuttings, plans, maps, technical notes etc.
Prospecting:
Consist of observations of the alluvial concentrations (in particular if a first study of the camp is possible with a binocular microscope), observations of petrographic samples, observations of the eventual mineralization, etc.
Conclusions:
These are done regarding the work of the month and the state of the development of the mission.
Program for the successive months:
Consist of the prevision of the jobs that need to be carried out and the number of samples that need to be obtained.
Attach:
Attach the examples of the files of the itinerary of each team.
Administrative report
According to what has been agreed on with the responsible person before sending out.
