C3 Metals CEO Dan Symons joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce significant gold results from soil and channel sampling at the company's 50%-owned Super Block project in Jamaica. C3 Metals operates the project under a 50/50 joint venture with Geophysx Jamaica. Symons explained that the Super Block project spans 9,870 hectares, located west of C3 Metals' Arthurs Seat and Bellas Gate projects. The project is strategically positioned near Barrick Gold's mineral concessions, where Barrick holds the right to earn an 80% joint-venture interest with Geophysx. Recent closely spaced soil and channel sampling at Super Block has confirmed strong gold geochemistry along a trend comparable in intensity to the former Pennants Gold Mine, which historically produced 16,000 ounces of gold between 2002 and 2004. Geochemical sampling identified highly anomalous gold over a +5km strike northwest and southeast of the Pennants Gold Mine, where historical resources were reported at 20.4 g/t gold. C3 Metals has designed an initial 2,500-metre diamond drilling program comprising 14 holes to test the gold and coincident radiometric anomalies. The company is in the process of applying for drill permits for the remaining areas of the PEZ prospect and Pennants regions and plans to conduct additional surface exploration through soil and channel sampling to the east and north of the PEZ prospect. #proactiveinvestors #c3metalsinc #tsxv #cccm #otcqb #cuauf #GoldExploration #MiningStocks #JamaicaMining #GoldInvesting #JuniorMining #DrillProgram #Geophysics #BarrickGold #MiningNews

Fathom Nickel CEO Ian Fraser joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the final results of the company's June soil and rock geochemistry program at the Gochager Lake Property. These results have provided significant insights, clearly demonstrating that the geochemical footprint of the Gochager Lake deposit has been extended by up to four kilometers along the trend in both the northeast and southwest directions. Fraser highlighted that the pXRF analyses of outcrop chip samples and outcrop rock sampling have substantially expanded the variable-textured gabbro footprint in the historic Gochager Lake deposit area, with an increase of approximately 12.5 times the original size. This expansion has revealed a prominent linear trend characterized by coincident and highly anomalous Nickel-Copper-Cobalt plus Chromium-Magnesium in-soils. This trend, which exceeds 600 meters in length and up to 100 meters in width, is indicative of a subsurface mafic-ultramafic source rock. Moreover, this newly identified trend occurs approximately 1.2 kilometers east-northeast of the historic Gochager Lake deposit, extending towards Weaver Lake, and remains open beyond the current zone of soil sampling. Notably, one individual soil sample returned highly impressive results with 1,650 ppm Nickel, 116.5 ppm Copper, and 373 ppm Cobalt, found approximately 1.0 kilometer west-southwest of the deposit area. These findings suggest a significant potential for further exploration and development at Gochager Lake. #FathomNickel, #NickelExploration, #MiningUpdate, #GochagerLake, #MagmaticDeposits, #SoilGeochemistry, #NickelCopperCobalt, #MiningSurvey, #ExplorationUpdate, #UltramaficRocks, #GabbroIntrusion, #Mineralization, #MiningPotential, #MallLake, #FieldProgram, #DrillingPlans, #MiningGeology, #ResourceExpansion, #MineralExploration, #CEOUpdate #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Lightning Minerals Ltd (ASX:L1M) managing director Alex Biggs joins Proactive's Jonathan Jackson after the company initiated exploration at the Caraíbas and Sidrônio lithium projects in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The company has started geological mapping and sampling with an experienced field team that possesses extensive geophysical data sets. Lightning Minerals is confident in the lithium potential of these projects, having identified multiple pegmatites and regional trends within the Salinas Formation, which contains several lithium resources. Early-stage exploration will help identify drill targets and enhance the company's knowledge of the region. Biggs highlighted the positive outcomes of an initial site visit in June, noting the identification of pegmatites and areas of interest. Since returning from Brazil, the company has focused on team-building and data analysis to proceed with its work program confidently. New employees and contractors in Brazil bring significant expertise in lithium exploration. Lightning Minerals reported $3.12 million in cash at the end of the last quarter, supporting its aggressive exploration strategy. At Caraíbas, the focus will be on artisanal workings with promising lithium, tantalum, rubidium and caesium grades. Geochemical sampling and reprocessing of geophysical data will target promising areas within the Salinas Formation. The region is known for its rich lithium deposits, including Latin Resources' Salinas Lithium Project, which has a significant global mineral resource estimate. #ProactiveInvestors #LightningMinerals #ASX #LithiumExploration, #MineralResources, #GeologicalMapping, #Sampling, #GeophysicalData, #Pegmatites, #SalinasFormation, #Brazil, #MinasGerais, #ArtisanalWorkings, #LithiumValley, #DrillTargets, #GeochemicalSampling, #ExplorationStrategy, #LithiumPotential, #ResourceEstimate, #MiningIndustry, #Tantalum, #Rubidium #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Royal Road Minerals CEO Tim Coughlin joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's exploration activities at the Jabal Sahabiyah project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The underlying rights to Jabal Sahabiyah are held by Royal Road Arabia, a joint venture between Royal Road Minerals and MIDU Company Limited, each holding a 50% stake. The Jabal Sahabiyah Exploration tender covers three contiguous Exploration Licenses, encompassing approximately 284 square kilometers. Coughlin shared that the initial detailed fieldwork at Jabal Sahabiyah has concentrated on two exposed polymetallic gossans, Jabal Muwayqirah and Hanash North. These gossans were first identified in the 1970s and were initially assessed for their potential to host zinc mineralization. Historical work by Riofinex included geological mapping, soil sampling, and limited shallow open-hole percussion drilling. Geochemical analyses from this work indicated the presence of zinc, copper, lead, and silver. At the Hanash North target, ongoing rock-chip and soil sampling have revealed that the fold geometry suggests repeated mineralization, which is exposed again at the southwestern gossan area and concealed under shallow cover towards the east. This finding is significant as it indicates the potential for extensive mineralization beyond what is currently exposed. To advance the project, Royal Road Minerals plans to conduct more structural mapping at Jabal Sahabiyah. This will be supported by the use of advanced technologies, including a drone-borne hyperspectral scanner, magnetometer, and radiometer. Additionally, the company will carry out grid-based auger soil sampling across both gossan areas. These efforts aim to identify targets for drill-testing before the end of 2024. Coughlin emphasized the importance of these exploration activities in understanding the full potential of the Jabal Sahabiyah project. The company is focused on systematically evaluating the mineralization to delineate viable drilling targets and ultimately expand the resource base. The use of modern exploration techniques and technologies will enhance the precision and efficiency of these efforts. In conclusion, Royal Road Minerals' ongoing exploration at the Jabal Sahabiyah project represents a significant step towards unlocking the potential of this promising mineral asset. With a comprehensive fieldwork plan and the integration of advanced exploration tools, the company is well-positioned to make substantial progress in the coming year. The successful identification of drill targets and subsequent drilling will be crucial in advancing the project and creating value for shareholders #proactiveinvestors #royalroadminerals #tsxv #ryr #TimCoughlin, #SaudiArabia, #MiningExploration, #EarlyStageProject, #MineralLicenses, #GeologicalMapping, #HyperspectralScanner, #DroneTechnology, #RockSampling, #GoldGrades, #CopperGrades, #GeologicalStructures, #MineralDeposits, #DesertExploration, #ModernExplorationTechniques, #MiningTechnology, #MineralExploration, #RioTinto, #SaudiMining#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

#Gold Spikes Above $1900 Level Following Latest CPI Reading Despite a significantly higher Fed funds rate, quantitative tightening, and higher interest rates around the globe, the gold price broke through the $1900 level on Thursday following the latest government #inflation report. A report that showed a slight reduction of the inflation rate relative to last month. Which of course leaves one to wonder what might happen to gold and #silver prices when the inflation rate is low enough for the Fed to stop hiking. Or what would happen to the precious metals prices if the Fed eventually sees conditions in the financial markets that force it to begin lowering rates again, or restarting quantitative easing. Which many feel is a mathematical certainty. So in today's show we talk about the latest report and how it's affecting the markets with Steve Cope of Silver Viper Minerals. Who also talks about the margins that the gold and silver miners are facing as their production costs have risen, and how that's impacting the market. Steve also comments on the recent report of Saudi Arabia's massive metals investment plan, Janet Yellen's upcoming plan to address the debt ceiling, and a whole lot more.

Episode 13 of The Carbon Curve is with Dr. Cara Maesano, Geochemical Lead at RMI's CDR InitiativeThis episode is sponsored by Carbonfuture.Carbonfuture is an end-to-end platform for companies who want to participate in removing carbon from the atmosphere. Unlike conventional marketplaces, Carbonfuture's monitoring, reporting, and verification platform solves carbon credit uncertainty for buyers like Microsoft and SwissRe while Carbonfuture's support helps scale the world's most promising carbon removal ventures for real climate impact.The core message of this podcast series is that the monumental task of removing gigatons of CO2 from the atmosphere is too big, too complex, and needs to happen too quickly for any one technology or stakeholder to solve alone.That's why I call carbon removal (or CDR) a collective action problem. Everybody has a unique and important role to play in scaling it up - from government, to entrepreneurs, to civil society.What I learned in my previous career improving access to healthcare in some of the most underserved parts of the world is that sometimes depending on the organic growth of a suite of technologies is just not sufficiently fast enough to solve big, important, global imperatives. Like expanding access to vaccines or HIV medicines in low income countries … or massively scaling up CDR by 2050.That's why Dai Ellis - who has written some excellent thought pieces on this - advocates for intentionally shaping the CDR market we want, instead of accepting the CDR market as it is.Roadmaps are one powerful organizing tool to accomplish this. If they're done well, they can accelerate the scale up of public goods like CDR by mapping out the gaps in an ecosystem, prioritizing what needs to get done, and assigning responsibility to the right stakeholder groups.It creates clarity and forward motion, and enables cross-sector collaboration. It charts a path for what it's going to take to build an entirely new sector roughly the size of the global concrete industry.That's why I'm excited to speak to today's guest - who co-developed a roadmap that spells out what it's going to take to scale up geochemical carbon removal approaches to gigaton scale by mid-century. This roadmap is tremendously valuable in its own right, but is also useful as a blueprint for how to plan, organize, and mobilize stakeholders around scaling up other CDR pathways.In this episode, Na'im and Cara discuss:* The definition of geochemical CDR* Why RMI developed this roadmap and why Cara thinks it will be useful and additive* How the roadmap was developed with the input of experts in the field* What the most critical building blocks are to get to megaton and gigaton scale for geochemical CDR* Some of the key bottlenecks to scaling up geochemical CDR and the overarching roles of major stakeholders in scaling it up* How this roadmap will be used and RMI's plans to support the CDR spaceRelevant links:* RMI's CDR Initiative* Geochemical Negative Emissions Technologies: Part II. Roadmap in Frontiers in Climate* Geochemical Negative Emissions Technologies: Part I. Review in Frontiers in Climate* Connect with Cara on LinkedIn* Rock Solid by the Energy Futures Initiative and Innovation for Cool Earth Forum RoadmapsAbout Cara:Dr. Cara Maesano began her science career working in cosmology labs at UC Santa Barbara and Stanford University, building instrumentation for cosmic microwave background studies. She holds a PhD in Physics from UC Davis, where she helped to construct large underground particle detectors and studied interactions between cosmic rays and carbon atoms. As a postdoc, Cara focused on environmental exposure assessments and the impacts of air pollution, and climate change in general, on public health. The realities of the health impacts of climate change led her to switch her focus towards carbon removal as a solution, and she joined The Climate Map as a research scientist in Spring 2021.  At RMI, she now leads efforts on technology assessments for Geochemical CDR and how they integrate into both the broader CDR ecosystem and the wider industrial landscape.

For this episode we read: "Geochemical mapping: technique or art" (Reinmann, 2005). When preparing this episode, German immediately gravitated to the concept that all geoscientists can be geochemists AND that all geochemists should be good geoscientists. In this episode we explore how the basic principles of survey design lead to the generation of meaningful geochemical summary outputs, e.g., maps, that can help exploration teams make decisions. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/geochemistea/support

Snowline Gold CEO Scott Berdahl joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has released some Geochemical assay results showing a large zone of anomalous gold values to 1.71 g/t Au at the Company's Gracie target. Berdahl telling Proactive, the results are showing that Gracie could host a large and fertile reduced-intrusion related gold system and their could be potential to duplicate their Valley discovery.

X-Terra Resources CEO Mike Ferreira joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has received the results from geochemical sampling that was done at the end of the 2021 on the Northwest project in New-Brunswick. X-Terra completed 1,650 metres of mechanical trenching and 13 line kilometres of "B horizon" sampling which totaled 424 rock samples and 1,404 soil samples collected on the whole property. Ferreira telling Proactive the company has identified 4 priority gold-zinc anomalous targets inside the folded White Brook Formation, covering an area of about 8 square kilometres. He also shared with Proactive the next steps the company plans on taking at the project. He also addressed the anomalies found at Grog as well.

Episode summary introduction: In this episode of Backyard Geology, Serena takes you to Sudbury, ON where a massive meteorite impact 1.85 billion years ago left an economically significant scar on the terrane. Now one of the top global producers of nickel, Sudbury's owes it fame to Earth's own natural smelting event that brought precious metals up to the surface where they can be mined today.

Host Information: Serena is a Canadian graduate student currently studying geochemistry at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Her research focuses on isotopic analysis of Hawaiian volcanos to understand the dynamic and complicated evolution of the Hawaiian mantle plume. She completed her undergraduate degree at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, where the exposed sedimentary rocks of the Niagara Escarpment and enthusiastic professors quickly fostered a love for all things geology. Like other member of the Geology Podcast Network, Serena loves to talk rocks and is invested in sharing her love for our planet through podcasts, educational programs for kids, and even museum exhibits. Despite heavy seasonal rains in Vancouver, she is an avid cyclist, which unfortunately does not bode well with inevitable stop for round hounding, but is an excellent way to thoroughly explore the Earth and all its glorious geologic features.

Could human engineering stabilise the Earth's climate and chemistry in the long term?

Justin looks at the period since the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs, which had seen a steadily cooling climate - until we humans turned up. What can the last 66 million years teach us about the likely consequences of climate change? And can our species make the next big evolutionary leap needed to tackle it? Adrian Lister of the Natural History Museum gives Justin a fossilised tour of how the Earth's fauna adapted to this changing climate.

How did this continuous chemical reaction that we call "life" first begin? And why did the hellish conditions of the early Earth provide the perfect birthplace? Justin Rowlatt speaks to two scientists with rival theories about the origin of life, both trying to recreate it in their labs - John Sutherland of Cambridge University, and Nick Lane of University College London. Plus the Natural History Museum's Sara Russell shows Justin a rock that is older than the Earth itself - the Winchcombe meteorite.

Global Energy Metals CEO Mitchell Smith joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news their partner Metal Bank has completed initial drilling and results from the first two drill holes at the Millennium copper, cobalt and gold project in Queensland showed 16m @ 1.07% Cu, 0.26% Co and 0.40g/t Au and 2m @ 0.32% Co from 41m and 3m @ 0.59% Cu, 0.14% Co Smith also updated Proactive the company has completed a first phase program of soil geochemical sampling and geological mapping at the Monument Peak copper-silver-gold project in Idaho.

*) Tech titans under fire in Congress over monopoly allegations Tech giants have “too much power” and need to be regulated. That was the conclusion of Washington lawmakers after they grilled the CEOs of Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple virtually at a congressional hearing. Despite the committee’s concerns over privacy, competition and the content allowed online, there were few new revelations or major confrontations. *) China's Sinopharm to test potential Covid-19 vaccine in Brazil Chinese drug company Sinopharm and Brazil’s Parana state have agreed to launch the fourth major Covid-19 vaccine trial in the country. They will seek regulatory approval in the next two weeks, the Brazilian partners said. Sinopharm's candidate vaccine is already being tested in the United Arab Emirates with 15,000 volunteers. *) US to withdraw around 12,000 troops from Germany The US will be withdrawing nearly 12,000 troops from Germany, with plans to reposition almost half of them in Europe. US President Trump accused Germany of taking advantage of the US and being “delinquent” in paying the two percent NATO fee. Pentagon officials say the plan is costly and will take years to execute while US lawmakers fear it will weaken the military against Russia. *) US federal forces to start conditional pullout from Portland Staying with US troop pullouts, the Trump administration has agreed to withdraw federal forces from the US city of Portland. Oregon Governor Kate Brown said the forces would begin their phased pullout on Thursday. But a Homeland Security official indicated that officers will withdraw only if local police can ensure the federal courthouse will be secured. Trump's administration earlier this month sent the federal tactical teams to intervene after weeks of protests against racism and police brutality. And finally, *) Scientists solve mystery of the origin of Stonehenge megaliths Scientists have solved a mystery about Stonehenge, determining the place of origin of many of the megaliths that make up the monument in Wiltshire, England. Geochemical testing indicates the sandstone megaliths share a common origin about 25 km away at a site called West Wood. This is thanks to a core sample that had been kept in the United States for decades.

Guest: Tony Knap, Director of Geochemical & Environmental Research Group (GERG) at Texas A&MIntro: The effects of the Gulf Loop Current on tropical cyclone development and intensification is often a major focus of forecasters. However, this current has much broader impacts beyond tropical cyclones, such as extra-tropical cyclone development and even tornadoes. Today, we welcome Dr. Anthony Knap, Director of the Geochemical & Environmental Research Group at Texas A&M University and Member of the Board of Directors for the Gulf Research Program. We’ll explore current research being done to improve our understanding and predictive skill of the Loop Current System and its eddies. Dr. Knap will also discuss how his team at Texas A&M plans to increase observations of the loop current to aid in regional forecasting capabilities.

New work from a team including Carnegie’s Christopher Glein has revealed the pH of water spewing from a geyser-like plume on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Their findings are an important step toward determining whether life could exist, or could have previously existed, on the sixth planet’s sixth-largest moon.

In MicrobeWorld Video episode 66 Dr. Stan Maloy talks with Curtis Suttle, Professor of Earth & Ocean Sciences, Microbiology & Immunology, and Botany, and Associate Dean of Science University of British Columbia.  Dr. Suttle is one of the World's leading marine virologists, and is among a small group of researchers that is credited with launching the field of marine virology. Dr. Maloy talks with Dr. Suttle about the incredible diversity of the ocean's microscopic inhabitants that have long been overlooked.  The oceans are mostly microbial, 98% by weight, which means most of what is going on in the oceans is unseen and until recently largely unknown. Dr. Suttle explains the large role that ocean viruses play in keeping our planet alive. In fact, Dr. Suttle points out that viruses do more to create life than take it away. If you were to take the viruses out of the ocean much of the planet's life-cycle would stop, there would be no more photosynthesis. Viral replication drives the major bio-geochemical cycles on Earth.  Dr. Suttle also discusses transposons, "the world's first immune system," phage and using genomic sequencing to do ecology outside of the lab environment. This episode was recorded at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia on February 17, 2012.

Current ideas and models of geotectonic reconstructions of Southeast Asia are reviewed and new data on Late Carboniferous through Middle Permian tuffites and sills from central Thailand are presented in the light of the problems of Southeast Asian palaeogeography. The volcanic rocks of quartz-keratophyric to spilitic composition are associated with platform carbonates and deep basin sediments. Their geochemistry and the character of the accompanying sediments suggest the existence of a Late Palaeozoic volcanic arc separating a subduction zone in the west from a back arc basin to the east. The geotectonic frame of Southeast Asia is explained in terms of repeated accretion of volcanic arcs by the Late Palaeozoic subduction zone along the northern Tethys margin.
