| Summary of dataset content: | Solid rock samples extracted from the bedrock using a drill rig that have been taken for the purpose of ore exploration, rock engineering and other bedrock surveying.
|
| Original application: | Samples are examined from the entire distance of the drill hole for determining the dominant rock types and valuable minerals, and the structure of the rock types is observed. Measurements of various rock characteristics will be conducted wherever necessary and subsamples will be taken for further investigation (e.g. for chemical or microscopic analyses).
|
| Geographical information product related to the dataset: | Bedrock drilling (Hakku) |
| Analysis information for the dataset: | The samples in the Drill Core Archive are photographed and density measurements may also be conducted on these samples. Petrophysical laboratory measurements for drill cores (charged service).
