Podcasts about dalradian

What does it mean to be a geologist and an explorer? With introductions by Joy Carter, this is the first of three special episodes.  We hear from two individuals with a rich history in geology and exploration, how the industry has changed throughout their careers and their advice to geologists. These episodes were top entries from the Society of Economic Geologists' 2025 Student Podcast Challenge.  The 2026 competition is now underway! Submissions are due August 21, 2026.  For information check out the SEG website SEG 2026 Student Podcast ChallengeChapter 1:  From Field to Verse: Exploration GeopoetryUniversidad Central del EcuadorHost  Stalyn Paucar Cohosts and production Eslendy Zurita and Dálember Vallejo Martin Litherland, born in 1945, had a remarkable career as a geologist. After earning his PhD from Liverpool University in 1970 for his research of Dalradian rocks in Scotland, he joined the British Geological Survey. This role led him to explore vast, uncharted regions of Africa, and South America. In Bolivia he ventured into the legendary “Lost World” of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; in Ecuador he led the Cordillera Real Project. His efforts in mapping the Cordillera Real revealed unexpected geological un-Andean features that challenged conventional knowledge. He wrote many scientific papers, memoirs, and geological maps, and in 1993, Queen Elizabeth II honored him with the The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. Throughout his career, he sometimes felt limited by the formal style of scientific writing, which focuses on data and analysis rather than personal expression. After retiring, Litherland found a new passion in poetry, using it to convey not only his deep connection to geology but also his reflections on various aspects of life.Chapter 2: From Outcrop to Ore DepositUniversity of British Columbia Host Maya SaldanhaWelcome to From Outcrop to Ore Deposit, the episode where we dive into the world of economic geology: research, fieldwork, and the people shaping the next generation of geologists.Maya Saldanha is joined by Dr. Kenneth Hickey, the Director of UBC's field school and an expert in ore deposit geology. We'll chat about his journey from working at the Karangahake mine in New Zealand as a fresh grad to running field courses in the Okanagan Valley, in British Columbia, Canada. Ken shares why field-based learning is so important, how geoscience education is evolving, and what it really takes to prepare students for the fast-changing world of mineral exploration.If you're curious about how geology is taught, what makes a great field school, or how we bridge the gap between academia and industry, this one's for you. Let's get into it!Music is ‘Jamcito - Cumbia Deli' from Youtube Audio LibraryTheme music for SEG Discovery to Recovery is Confluence, by Eastwinds.Eastwinds Come join us in Salt Lake City, Utah for SEG 2026, September 30th to October 3rd. You can expect world-class technical content, including iconic ore deposits and the geological processes of North American Cordillera. The program balances applied case studies, framework geology, and technological innovation. The conference offers a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and help shape the future of economic geology. See you there.

Sokoman Minerals Corp. is a discovery-oriented company with projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Company's primary focus is its portfolio of gold projects: flagship Moosehead along the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. The Company is also active on its district-scale Fleur de Lys project in northwestern Newfoundland, which is targeting Dalradian-type orogenic gold mineralization similar to the Curraghinalt and Cavanacaw deposits in Northern Ireland, and Cononish in Scotland.

Share Talk spoke with Richard Conroy to get answers to investors questions following the news of the recent placing. We asked the following questions: With the announcement of raising £500,000, can you give more detail on how this cash will be used? What is your business strategy and how this is underpinned by your operational plans? Why invest in Ireland? What are the benefits to an investor? Are you looking at jurisdictional diversification? Looking forward 12 months, what would a success look like for CGNR? Would you consider refreshing and strengthening the BOD by bringing in an individual with a proven track record of mine development for example... There seems to be interest in Irish gold with the recent acquisition of Dalradian. Is Conroy feeling similar interest in its business interests from external third parties and if so how could this translate to shareholder value crystallisation? There are many voices expressing an interest in the company but concerns about the length of time the Company has been on market and the progress achieved? For new investors, why choose Conroy Gold?
