- Average potency of the gravel;

- The conditions of the bed rock;

- The boulders that can affect an optimal mining operation;

- Of the total Volume of minerals which contain gold;

A good sampling program must provide all the information necessary of the existent physical conditions and the correct interpretation of all the information.
