Discovery to Recovery

Green rocks are a common alteration feature of porphyry deposits,  but it can be hard to decipher meaningful information from them for exploration. This week we dive into the results of years of mult…

The Cu-Au porphyries in British Columbia, Canada vary in setting, size, age and grade, and occur in a region with a complex tectonic history. This episode is about these systems and the key factors i…

Placer Gold Puzzles starts with the Witwatersrand, South Africa and  the long debate over the model for gold formation. After that, we head to Brazil to see how quality geochemical data analysis assi…

Welcome to the second season of Discovery to Recovery! How can we use 'the human factor' to create better outcomes in mining and exploration? Nicole Doucette is host, bringing us two powerful, person…

Richard Sillitoe and John Thompson talk about the evolution of the porphyry model from plate tectonics to lithocaps, mineral zoning, and the link to epithermal gold systems. How has the classic ‘tops…

Capturing structural geology data is important. Why? As Federico Arboleda (Founder and CEO, Imago) says: "There's no mine unless you can make that [geotechnical] estimation or characterization. And t…

Even before plate tectonic theory, economic geologists knew there was an association with ore deposits and geologic structures. Nowadays, most successful exploration companies understand the importan…

What should the relationship be between geoscience technology and the communities we’re a part of? The obvious answer is that geoscience technology should be used to enrich the lives of those in our …

Exploration and mining are human endeavors, relying on teams who work in the field and offices globally. The human factor in our work is also critical to establishing strong and meaningful relationsh…

When it comes to gold, we’ve got a number of tools and methods available to help find ore deposits. But what techniques should we be using – and more importantly – how should we be using them?

Some of…

The world class gold deposits in Superior Province in the Canadian Precambrian Shield are being studied with in a broad and comprehensive research program called ‘Metal Earth’ at Laurentian Universit…

There are many different aspects of 'critical resourcing' that mining and geology play a part in.

For example, as we look to de-carbonize our economies, renewable energy will become even more importan…

Join us for system-scale thinking in geoscience and a view of a more sustainable world from magmatic -sulfide sources of PGEs and Ni to innovative mineral processing work and technology metals.

There’s one concept everyone in the geosciences can’t stop talking about – data. Whether we’re collecting it, analyzing it, or cleaning it, the work never seems to end.

As we face challenges like depo…

The discovery of Olympic Dam in Australia captured the imaginations of exploration geologists around the world – over 40 years later we are just beginning to appreciate the nature and extent of what …

This episode in the Seequent partnered series discusses how we’re leveraging different technologies for use in geology – and it seems the sky’s the limit. Join us as we talk about using VR, AR, and m…

The major metals in sedimentary mineral deposits include Pb, Zn, Ag, Cu, Co, and U. This episode in the Seequent partnered series dives deep into the geoscience needed to understand the formation of …

Welcome to the very first episode of the SEG–Seequent partnered podcast, Discovery to Recovery. We are excited to kick off with an in-depth overview of the SEG 2020 Vision Conference in September, ce…
