Fieldwork Update

During the second half of the summer field season we continued our regional scale stream sediment sampling programme across the Southern Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire option agreements. This work, combined with a soil sampling programme completed earlier in the summer, in an area 7 km south-west of the Dolaucothi mine means that with the help of Cardiff University placement students 97 stream sediment samples, 518 soil samples and 25 rock chips have been collected over the full course of the summer field season. All samples are currently awaiting analysis at ALS Laboratories.
