What do you do when the subject of your research lies deep beneath the waves? Send down an underwater robot, of course! We chat to volcanologist Sofia Della Sala about her recent fieldwork expedition to Santorini, where she used a Remotely Operated Vehicle, or ROV, to search for hydrothermal vents in the Aegean Sea. These vents - which are like hot springs on the sea floor - could provide vital insight into the volcanic and tectonic activity in the region.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 19The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastNew Insights into Earth's Water, Asteroid Bennu's Composition, and Marsquake TriggersIn this episode of SpaceTime, we investigate a groundbreaking study that challenges previous beliefs about when water arrived on Earth. New findings suggest that water may have come in during the later stages of Earth's formation, providing fresh perspectives on the origins of life on our planet. The study highlights the importance of molybdenum isotopes in understanding the timing of water delivery and the conditions necessary for life.Searles Lake and Asteroid BennuWe also explore the intriguing similarities between Searles Lake in California and the asteroid Bennu, as researchers find that both environments share common water-soluble minerals. The Osiris Rex mission has revealed that Bennu's samples contain evaporite minerals formed under wet conditions, shedding light on the potential for life-sustaining elements in our solar system's past.Meteoroid Impacts and MarsquakesAdditionally, a new study indicates that meteoroid impacts may play a more significant role in triggering marsquakes than previously considered. Analyses from NASA's Mars InSight lander reveal that many seismic events on Mars could be linked to impacts, challenging existing assumptions about the planet's seismic activity.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 19 for broadcast on 12 February 202500:49 Water arrival on Earth06:30 Searles Lake and asteroid Bennu12:15 Meteoroid impacts and Marsquakes18:00 Changes in men's height and weight22:45 Discovery of ancient bird fossils in Antarctica27:00 The best way to boil an egg30:15 AI and national security concernswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Lanthanein Resources Ltd (ASX:LNR, OTC:FRNRF) technical director Brian Thomas joins Proactive's Tylah Tully to discuss gole drilling operations the company has commenced at Lady Grey Project in the Mt Holland area, part of the mineral-rich Yilgarn region of Western Australia. The campaign aims to explore a conductor plate identified by a Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) survey on Line #6. The first phase consists of three reverse circulation (RC) precollars drilled up to 150 metres, followed by diamond drilling extending to a depth of 600 metres. The conductor plate, 200 metres below the surface, lies beneath a gold geochemical anomaly and favourable structural zone for gold mineralisation. The project is adjacent to the historical Bounty Gold Mine, which produced 1.3 million ounces of gold. Access to the site utilises an existing road connecting the former Lady Ada mine to the Marvel Loch Forrestania Road. Targets were identified using geophysical and geochemical data, including a 75ppb ultra-fine fraction soil gold anomaly. Permitting for a second conductor plate associated with a 256ppb anomaly is in progress. Separately, Lanthanein has sold its 3 million shares in Tolu Minerals Ltd for A$2.4 million, surpassing the original A$2 million valuation. #ProactiveInvestors #LanthaneinResources #ASX #LadyGreyProject, #GoldExploration, #WesternAustralia, #MtHolland, #GoldMining, #Yilgarn, #RCDrilling, #DiamondDrilling, #BountyGoldMine, #CovalentLithium, #MineralExploration, #Geophysics, #Geochemistry, #GoldAnomalies, #MiningNews, #ElectromagneticSurvey, #UFFSoilAnalysis, #ToluMinerals, #MiningInvestment

Torr Metals CEO Malcom Dorsey joined Steve Darling from Proactive to reveal final assay results from a total of 33 rock grab samples collected during the company's 2024 reconnaissance programs. These results have identified additional high-grade rock grab assays within the Kirby, Rea, and Clapperton exploration target zones. Notably, a new copper-gold discovery has been made in the northern portion of the Sonic Zone at the Kolos Copper-Gold Project. Dorsey emphasized that these latest results not only reaffirm the high-grade potential of the Kolos Project but also underscore the significant untapped exploration opportunities across multiple zones. The discovery of the Sonic Zone is particularly exciting, as it opens up a new area of mineralization that bears geological similarities to the high-grade New Afton copper-gold porphyry deposit, located just 27 km to the north. The geophysical and geological similarities between the Sonic Zone and New Afton make it a compelling target for further exploration. Torr Metals has planned an extensive soil and rock sampling program for 2024 to further investigate this promising area. In addition, the potential for expanding the Clapperton Zone has been significantly bolstered by the discovery of large angular boulders. These boulders, which are interpreted as being close to their original source, returned anomalous copper values up to 816 parts per million (ppm), located more than 1,000 meters east of the 2023 soil sampling grid boundaries. With these discoveries, Torr Metals continues to demonstrate the vast potential of the Kolos Copper-Gold Project, positioning itself for further success in uncovering valuable mineral resources. #proactiveinvestors #torrmetalsinc #tsxv #tmet #mining #gold #silver #Mining, #Geology, #Exploration, #CopperMining, #GoldMining, #Geophysics, #Geochemistry, #Drilling, #MineralExploration, #ResourceDiscovery, #MiningIndustry, #Metals, #NaturalResources, #MiningTechnology, #GeologicalSurvey, #ResourceManagement, #SustainableMining, #MiningEngineering, #ExplorationGeology #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Alkane Resources Ltd (ASX:ALK) managing director Nic Earner joins Proactive's Jonathan Jackson to talk about encouraging results from a drilling program at the Rockley Project in Central West New South Wales. The company completed seven scout slimline RC drill holes, targeting multi-element and multi-point soil and rock chip geochemical anomalies and historical workings. Six out of seven drill holes intersected copper-zinc-lead-silver skarn mineralisation while mapping and rock chip sampling returned significant copper, zinc and lead grades at Apsley, Belmore East and Red Hill prospects as well as the new Stewarts Prospect. Earner says the company is hoping to uncover a large VMS or skarn copper-gold system and multi-million ounce deposit like others in the region. The company is well-funded and says the Rockley program is not cash intensive. Alkane is planning further target generative exploration across the next 12 months. This includes mapping, rock chip sampling and soil sampling as well as additional scout drilling planned for Stewarts, Red Hill and Cow Flat South, along with testing ground EM plates generated at Belmore East and Red Hill South. Earner discussed Alkane's recent share price movement after it experienced massive volumes of trade over the past seven days. #Proactiveinvestors #AlkaneResources #ASX #MiningExploration, #RockleyProject, #ApsleyProspect, #Geochemistry, #DrillingProgram, #Mineralisation, #SkarnDeposits, #BaseMetals, #GoldExploration, #CuZnPbAg, #TomingleyOperations, #CentralWestNSW, #ExplorationResults, #MineralGrades, #MiningIndustry, #GeologicalSurvey, #FutureExploration, #MiningNews, #ASX #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Magmatic Resources Ltd (ASX:MAG) managing director Adam McKinnon sits down with Proactive's Jonathan Jackson to discuss the results of a 64-hole aircore geochemistry program north of the Lady Ilse Prospect in Central West NSW. The results indicate significant gold and copper mineralisation, with one hole intersecting 6 metres at 0.80 g/t gold and 0.15% copper from 12 metres. The findings suggest potential for a Boda-style porphyry system at Lady Ilse, nearly doubling the near-surface gold and copper anomaly to more than 1,200 metres in length, with the trend open to the north. The technical team is modelling the new data to develop a follow-up program and evaluate further drill sites. The aircore program, completed with 64 holes totalling 598 metres, was conducted to test basement geochemistry through shallow cover. Multiple holes showed encouraging gold-copper mineralisation, with several notable results including 17 metres at 0.37 g/t gold and 0.10% copper from 6 metres. These results significantly expand the Lady Ilse system. The program's progress was hindered by inclement weather in mid-July, delaying the planned RC drilling at Rose Hill. This program, which includes 3-5 RC holes, aims to test the shallow copper-gold potential of the prospect. Magmatic continues its exploration efforts at Wellington North, including targets at Boda Southwest and Lady Ilse. #ProactiveInvestors #MagmaticResources #ASX #LadyIlseProspect, #GoldMining, #CopperMining, #AirCoreDrilling, #Mineralisation, #Geochemistry, #Exploration, #PorphyrySystem, #WellingtonNorth, #GoldCopper, #BodaStyle, #InclementWeather, #RCDrilling, #ResourceExpansion, #MiningNews, #TechnicalTeam, #FollowUpProgram, #EastLachlan, #BodaKaiser #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Fathom Nickel CEO Ian Fraser joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has secured all necessary permits to advance its exploration activities at the Gochager Lake project. This project, which hosts an historic NI43-101 non-compliant open-pit resource consisting of 4.3 million tons at 0.295% nickel and 0.081% copper, will now see significant development. The newly acquired permits enable Fathom Nickel to drill up to 60 drill holes and construct an all-season, 25-person camp. Additionally, the company has received permission to use temporary "fly camps" during the summer-fall field season. These camps will support site-specific airborne geophysical anomaly follow-ups, mapping and prospecting, soil geochemistry, and site-specific geophysical surveys. The exploration permit is valid for two years, expiring in 2026. Fraser also shared that the company mobilized field crews last week to begin a soil geochemical survey. The objective is to define a soil geochemical signature associated with the Gochager Lake deposit and use this signature to locate additional similar deposits. Detailed mapping, prospecting, and soil geochemical sampling will focus on areas of conductivity identified through surface time-domain electromagnetic surveys conducted last season. Moreover, the company plans to conduct a detailed drone-MAG survey over the historic Gochager Lake deposit area, covering approximately 385 line-kilometers. These advancements mark a pivotal step in Fathom Nickel's exploration strategy, underscoring the company's commitment to expanding its resource base and uncovering new mineral deposits at Gochager Lake. #proactiveinvestors #fathomnickelinc #cse #fni #otcqb #fnicf #mining #nickel #NickelExploration, #MiningPermits, #GeophysicalSurvey, #IndigenousCoordination, #SaskatchewanMining, #MineralExploration, #DrillingProject, #Geochemistry, #GabbroMapping, #HelicopterReduction, #MiningCamps, #EnvironmentalPermits, #MineralDeposits, #ExplorationPlans, #MiningIndustry, #MineralResources, #ResourceDevelopment, #MiningNews#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Golden Shield Resources Executive Chairman Leo Hathaway joined Steve Darling from Proactive to disclose the conclusive findings from its diamond drilling endeavor at the Marudi Mountain Property. The company has now received all results from the comprehensive 2024 campaign, encompassing 2,592 meters across eight holes. Hathaway revealed that the campaign encompassed five holes at the previously untapped Pancake Creek prospect and three holes at Mazoa Hill. While two of the three holes at Mazoa Hill were abandoned due to excessive deviation, the third and deepest hole successfully reached its target depth. According to Hathaway, results from Mazoa Hill underscore the deposit's high-grade nature, hinting at further potential both at depth and to the west. Moreover, the discovery of a high-grade gold zone near the surface at Pancake Creek has sparked significant excitement and warrants further investigation. With the identification of a new gold-mineralized shear zone at Pancake Creek and the detection of numerous anomalous intervals in the drilling process, Golden Shield acknowledges the effectiveness of the reverse circulation drill rig for targeting and the substantial untapped potential across the property. Hathaway emphasized that Golden Shield has embarked on a productive start to 2024, leveraging three prior years of savvy and cost-effective exploration to advance its objectives. #proactiveinvestors #goldenshieldresourcesinc #cse #gsri #otcqb #gsrff #mining #gold #MarudiMountain, #GoldExploration, #DrillingResults, #MissoulaHill, #PancakeCreek, #HighGradeGold, #DiamondDrilling, #ShearZone, #RCDrilling, #ResourceUpdate, #Geophysics, #Geochemistry, #GoldAnomalies, #ExplorationSuccess, #MiningProjects, #GoldDeposits, #EconomicGold, #MineralResources, #GoldPotential #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Torr Metals CEO Malcolm Dorsey joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce preliminary results that have identified near-surface high-priority geophysical resistivity anomalies extending up to 1.5 kilometers in depth. These anomalies are coincident with highly anomalous copper, gold, and molybdenum mineralization at the surface. Dorsey explained to Proactive that exploration drill targets have been identified using a newly completed 3D resistivity inversion voxel model. This model was derived from the ZTEM geophysical survey completed over the entirety of the company's 100% owned approximately 140 square kilometers Kolos Copper-Gold Project in late 2023. The identified trend encompasses five priority exploration targets that delineate potential porphyry centers, all of which have never been drilled before. Importantly, all of these priority exploration targets are road-accessible from Highway 5, situated approximately 23 kilometers north-northeast of the city of Merritt. These findings represent a significant step forward in the exploration efforts of Torr Metals, potentially unlocking valuable mineral resources in the Kolos Copper-Gold Project. #proactiveinvestors #torrmetalsinc #tsxv #tmet #mining #gold #silver #Mining, #Geology, #Exploration, #CopperMining, #GoldMining, #Geophysics, #Geochemistry, #Drilling, #MineralExploration, #ResourceDiscovery, #MiningIndustry, #Metals, #NaturalResources, #MiningTechnology, #GeologicalSurvey, #ResourceManagement, #SustainableMining, #MiningEngineering, #ExplorationGeology #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

For decades, Egyptologists have dismissed the notion that the pyramids incorporated any human-made cement-like materials. But Barsoum's team at Drexel University has uncovered startling new evidence from advanced microscopy analysis of pyramid samples. We talk to him about becoming entranced with the deep history of Egypt, the process of determining the true nature of a stone, and the open questions about this lost civilization that keep him up at night.

Drill core scanning technology is rapidly developing for use in exploration and mining. The future holds great promise if we can leverage all the data sets available from multiple sensors, but critical for success is understanding how the sensors and scanning systems work.  What are the right questions to ask when picking our tools?   Host Britt Bluemel, Global Business Development Manager for ALS Goldspot Discoveries, discusses three different types of sensors: hyperspectral for mineralogy, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for elements and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for data at the level of atoms. Setting the scene in the first segment is Cari Deyell, Principal Spectral Geologist, Veracio.  Cari takes us through the fundamentals of reflectance spectroscopy and builds out the case for mapping mineralogy from exploration through to mine development and ore body knowledge.  The mineralogical data set provided by #spectroscopy can be enhanced when integrated with XRF and RGB photography.  This integration will lead to fundamental advances in how we understand and mine ore bodies. Our next story focuses on the benefits of using XRF scanners on drill core with Michelle Legat, Vice President at GeologicAI.  Scanning up to 650m per day, they are able to map the elements present and correlate with grades and minerals. Good data from any system is important and Michelle addresses key parts of the data collection process, to ensure that you get the best possible result.  Acquiring XRF data also means a better understanding of mobile and immobile elements, supporting lithogeochemistry and produces some exciting results for exploration programs. François Doucet founder and CEO of Elemission, joins Britt for the last conversation and takes us through the background of LIBS and how it relates to other well-known geochemical analysis.  Francois tells the story of the ground breaking moment of Curiosity landing on Mars in 1999 to the founding of Elemission, applying LIBS to the mapping of drill core.  Scanning rates are dependent on the grain size of the minerals, with adjustments to higher speeds for pegmatites and coarse-grained rock. A breakthrough technology that takes the mapping of core down to the level of atoms. Next week Britt will be back to explore how to handle the volumes of data generated by core scanning systems for use in all parts of the mining value chain.  Our theme music is Confluence by Eastwinds.

World renowned geologist, Professor Walter Alvarez once noted that… “Rocks are the key to Earth history, because solids remember but liquids and gases forget.”   In this episode of Palaeo Jam, host Michael Mills chats with Professor Tom Raimondo about how learning about our local geology can help us better connect to where we live. Of how rocks are places where stories from the past are etched, and that by learning to read the rocks around us, we open ourselves to a whole new world of connection to the past, and understanding.   Tom Raimondo is Professor of Geology and Geochemistry and Professorial Lead for STEM at the University of South Australia. He is a passionate science communicator who has been recognised as the 2019 SA Science Excellence Awards STEM Educator of the Year, and in 2017 was named in the ABC Top 5 Under 40.    For more info on Tom and his work, head to… https://people.unisa.edu.au/tom.raimondo https://twitter.com/ROKmondo https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8nlPNwP0bcho0tTVomlwyg   The iconic landscape of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia holds a remarkable history, cultural heritage and scientific value that has been unlocked through the power of the ground breaking 360VR Flinders Ranges experience mentioned in this episode.

Between disinformation and misinformation, it's difficult to know what and who to trust, especially during a crisis. When disaster does strike, it is critical that scientific information is communicated clearly. Oceanographer Christopher Reddy discusses his experiences relaying vital information during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010.   Scientists are bathing in uncertainty. It is the basis of their work. As Chris says “if I'm certain about something, I'm not going to research it.” But during a disaster, people crave answers, not a comprehensive research paper published 5 years after the event! So a huge challenge for scientists is how to communicate effectively to both the media, the public and all of the stakeholders involved in disaster relief.    In this episode, we've reached outside of our traditional box of guests and are talking with a sharp, witty and very informative scientist, Christopher Reddy. Chris is a chemist, but for reasons he explains in the podcast, he most often refers to himself as an oceanographer. He is a leader in the study of marine pollution and the development of environmentally friendly industrial chemicals and works as a senior scientist in the Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry at Woods Hole Oceanographic.    When the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster struck in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, Chris was one of the sets of boots on the ground, leading the field operations. His expertise in the science of oil spills meant he was thrust into a public facing role which later got him personally entangled in the BP legal case surrounding the liability for the spill. He's written about this experience in his new book, Science Communication in a Crisis: An Insider's Guide.   We love bringing you interesting and funny conversations from people like Chris.

In this episode I am returning to a core topic to The Rational View, the communication of science. My guest has experience communicating science to the public during environmental crises, and has shared his experience and advice for other scientists in a newly published book. What are the mistakes that scientists make in outreach, and how can we do a better job without endangering our careers? Christopher Reddy is a leader in the study of marine pollution and the development of environmentally friendly industrial chemicals. A senior scientist in the Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry at Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution and faculty member of the MIT/WHOI joint program in oceanography, Reddy has led numerous field operations along coastlines, in the open ocean, and at the bottom of the sea to conduct transformative research that crosses disciplines and guides policy decisions worldwide. As an author, Dr. Reddy has recently published ‘Science Communication in a Crisis' Support the podcast at patron.podbean.com/TheRationalView Discuss the ideas on Facebook @TheRationalView Twitter @AlScottRational #TheRationalView #podcast #science #communication #crisis #outreach #evidence #politics

A senior scientist in the Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and faculty member of the MIT/WHOI joint program in oceanography, Reddy has led numerous field operations along coastlines, in the open ocean, and at the bottom of the sea to conduct transformative research that crosses disciplines and guides policy decisions worldwide. When trains derail and spew toxic chemicals into the air, or when the ocean catches fire, the public needs to hear from scientists. And yet, after years of vaccine and climate change denial, fewer than 30% of Americans report having a great deal of confidence that scientists act in the public's best interests.  In his new book SCIENCE COMMUNICATION IN A CRISIS: An Insider's Guide (Routledge; May 10, 2023), scientist Christopher M. Reddy offers his hard-won advice from decades on the front lines of environmental disasters. In this accessible and precise guide, Reddy reveals how anyone who needs to clearly and concisely convey their expertise can navigate the maze of competing interests during high-pressure situations to deliver trustworthy and actionable information. Through multiple high-profile case studies—including the Deepwater Horizon and North Cape oil spills—Reddy unpacks ten specific challenges scientists face when interacting with the public and the media. His aim is not to explain how to ace an interview or craft a sound bite, but rather to offer a clear pathway to effective and collaborative communication when multiple groups are involved. There are the responders, people affected by the event, the media, policymakers, industry, concerned citizens and organizations; each category has its own goals, needs, and challenges, which scientists must understand in order to navigate them.  As we face increasingly frequent and devastating climate disasters, with the ever-present risk of another pandemic, and as the spread of misinformation is turbocharged by AI, Chris Reddy's perspective could not be more vital.

In a recent episode, Nadja Drabon spoke about newly discovered zircon crystals that formed during the late Hadean and early Archean, when the Earth was between 500 million and a billion years old.  The zircons revealed information about processes occurring in the Earth's nascent crust, casting light on when and how modern-day plate tectonics may have started.  In this episode, we talk about a very different source of information about the early Earth, namely the abundances of noble gases occurring within present-day basalts.  It turns out that these can probe the Earth's mantle and atmosphere even further back in time – to the first 100 million years of Earth history. Sujoy Mukhopadhyay leads a team of researchers who have developed new techniques for measuring the abundances of noble gas isotopes in a variety of Earth materials.  By combining the results of these measurements with geochemical models, he has shed light on questions about the very early Earth and planet formation that have challenged researchers for decades.  Here we focus on one of these: “Do any structures originating from the very early Earth survive in today's mantle?” Amazingly, the answer is "yes." Sujoy Mukhopadhyay is Professor of Geochemistry at the University of California, Davis.

Since the very beginning of the space age, people have been wondering if algae could provide a life support system beyond our planet. From dozens of studies over the last 60 years, we've figured out that algae probably can thrive for up to a year in space. But what if we wanted to live permanently on another planet, like Mars? This episode is all about algae: how it shaped early Earth, how we might use it to terraform planets in the future, and how it's being used in biomanufacturing to hopefully get us away from relying on fossil fuels.

Linking whole rock geochemistry with mineralogy provides tremendous value to exploration and mining projects.  We all want high quality, reliable results to make the best maps and models.  What are the critical factors in acquiring spectral or geochemical data?  How can we be sure our spectroscopy and geochemistry are the best they can be?  How do we integrate our mineralogy data sets?  Join us to learn the questions you should be asking! Sebastian Benavides is Discovery Manager for Peru and Ecuador, Anglo American.  A  geoscientist passionate about generative work, he manages exploration teams and uses spectral data to enhance their capacity to identify targets at multiple scales.  Sebastian also shares with us the unusual alteration at the Taca Taca porphyry in Argentina where spectroscopy and mineral chemistry helped to improve understanding of the main ore zone. Spectroscopy is widely used in a variety of exploration and mining projects.  We checked in with Sam Scher of LKI Consulting and podcast host of GeocHemisTea to talk about important issues in spectral data collection.  What do we need to know to get good data?  Why worry?  We also considered how you might vary what options you use depending on the goals of the work.https://lkiconsulting.com/ To bring it all together, Scott Halley shows us the power of linking whole rock geochemistry and spectral mineralogy – especially mineral chemistry. He provides all the incentive you need to work on getting the best spectral data possible. The conversation is focused on the special synergies between the two data sets, but also on the benefits of bringing the data back to the core shack and the geologist. https://www.scotthalley.com.au/Theme music is Confluence by Eastwindseastwindsmusic.comSEG 2023, the Society of Economic Geologists flagship conference is August 26-29th, 2023 in London England.

On this classic ID the Future, Robert J. Marks interviews Roger Olsen, co-author of the groundbreaking book The Mystery of Life's Origin. In the work's epilogue the authors suggested that a designing intelligence stands as the best explanation for the origin of life. And with a revised and greatly expanded new edition of the book now available, Olsen says that more than thirty-five years of additional research from the origin-of-life community have left their conclusions stronger than ever. Olsen is now an environmental scientist, and in a latter part of the interview, he tells a hair-raising story about his work abroad trying to protect families and communities from the ravages of environmental pollution.
