A sampling and analysis system, and related method, for use in exploration drilling, particularly diamond drilling. The system includes a number of sub-systems, including a capturing sub-system, a sample recovery and splitting sub-system, a sample preparation/drying sub-system, a sample handling and sensor sub-system, a data collection and management sub-system, an automated data analysis and interpretation sub-system, and a control sub-system for data collection and process control. The sample handling and sensor sub-system may comprise an integrated arrangement or separate units providing a sample handling sub-system and a sample sensor sub-system. The sample preparation/drying sub-system is operable to ensure that the samples it receives from the sample recovery sub-system are optimally prepared for introduction to the sample handling and sensor sub-system. The sampling and analysis system may be autonomous or operable manually or semi-automatically.
