Boulder Density Boulder density is calculating percentage of length of boulder > 1 meter divides total length of boulder in 1 hole in saprolite zone per hole from logging data and photo core. % Boulder = Length of boulder > 1m Total length of boulder in 1 hole x 100 %

The classified of rock type from Boulder density are: 0 25 % = Fractured area (Type 3) 25 50 % = Medium fractured area (Type 2) 50 75 % = Type 1 75 100 % = Unfractured Area (Type 1)

Rock Quality Designation (RQD) This based on the percentage of core recovered, counting only the pieces of intact core 10 cm or longer. RQD = Length of core pieces > 10 cm length x 100 Total length of core RQD % 0 25 25 50 50 75 75 90 90 100 Quality Very Poor Poor Fair Good Excellent

Example : Total length drilled = 100 cm Total core recovered : 80 cm Core recovery =80/100 = 80% Summed core lengths greater than 10 cm =75 cm RQD = 75/100 = 75 %

RQD for sample in photograph below = ((85/100)+(85/100)+(70/100)+(50/100)+(90/100))/ 5 = 76 % Sample identified as Type 1

Only coherent fresh rock is considered ; a length of soft and highly weathered core Would have zero RQD value. RQD can be recorded by geologists while they are logging in the sample house.

Descriptive indices of iscontinuities (Comment RQD)

Consideration should be given to type, number of discontinuities, location and orientation, frequency of spacing between discontinuities, separation or aperture of discontinuity Surfaces, persistence and extent, infilling and nature of the surface
Sound RQD Fissured RQD Rock material has no joints or cracks, size range > 100 cm Rock material has random joints. Cores break along these joints. Lightly broken. Size range 30 100 cm Rock material consists of intact rock fragments separated from each other by joints. Broken.Size range 10 30 cm. Rock fragment separated by very close joints. Core lengths < twice NX core diameter. Very broken. Size range 2.5 10 cm. Rock material is of gravel size or smaller. Extremely Broken. Size range < 2.5 cm.

Fracture Density

Fracture density is calculating percentage of summary joint and fracture divides total length of core Frac. Dens = Joint and fracture x 100 Total length of core
