- Generate preliminary geochemical interpretations, including elemental trends, mineral indicators, and observations related to drill cuttings.
- Confirm that report formats, project information, naming conventions, and supporting documentation are accurate and consistent.
- Maintain clear handoff documentation between weekday and weekend team members.
- Escalate significant data-quality, instrument, or reporting issues to the Field Operations Manager or appropriate technical personnel.
