SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 12Unveiling the Mysteries of Fast Radio Bursts and Mars' GeologyIn this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the enigmatic origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs), those mysterious cosmic phenomena that release immense energy in mere nanoseconds. Recent findings challenge existing theories about their sources, suggesting that some FRBs may originate from regions in ancient, dead galaxies, raising profound questions about the nature of these bursts and their potential as cosmic probes.Is Mars Still Geologically Active?A new study based on data from NASA's InSight lander indicates that Mars may still be geologically active. By analyzing marsquakes, researchers have uncovered evidence suggesting that the southern hemisphere of the Red Planet has a thicker crust and higher elevation than the northern hemisphere, providing insights into its geological history and evolution over billions of years.Celestial Treat for Southern Hemisphere Sky WatchersSky watchers in the Southern Hemisphere are in for a treat as Comet C/2024 G3 Atlas dazzles with its stunning display following a close encounter with the Sun.

Athena Gold incoming CEO Koby Kushner joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the discovery of additional high-grade gold samples from the company's reconnaissance prospecting program at the newly-acquired Laird Lake project in Ontario's Red Lake Gold District. Spanning 4,158 hectares and covering 10 km, Laird Lake represents an underexplored yet highly promising portion of this prolific mining region. The project, accessible by road, is situated approximately 10 km west of West Red Lake Gold Mines' Madsen Mine and 34 km northwest of Kinross Gold's Great Bear Project. Kushner highlighted a standout discovery, with one grab sample returning an impressive 373 g/t gold, marking the highest-grade sample ever collected at the site and one of the highest-grade surface grab samples publicly reported in the Red Lake Gold District. This finding underscores the project's significant potential. Geologically, the Balmer-Confederation contact, a key structural feature associated with gold mineralization in the district, plays a pivotal role in Laird Lake's prospectivity. Over 90% of all gold mined in the district has been found within 300 meters of this contact, amplifying the project's importance. Looking ahead, Athena Gold plans to leverage these findings to guide a comprehensive property-wide geochemistry survey set to begin in H1 2025. The results of this survey are expected to refine drill targets for the company's inaugural exploration program at Laird Lake, paving the way for potential resource expansion in one of Canada's premier gold districts. #proctiveinvestors #athenagoldcorporation #cse #atha #otcqb #ahnr #GoldExploration #MiningNews #RedLakeGold #NevadaGold #GoldMiningProjects #ProactiveUpdates #MiningInvesting #GoldDiscoveries #investment #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

My special guest tonight is Ann Eller who worked for the famous ufologist Dr. J. Allen Hynek in the months prior to his death and started to have her own ET experiences.     Pole Shift: The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis is a pseudo-scientific claim that there have been recent, geologically rapid shifts in the axis of rotation of Earth, causing calamities such as floods and tectonic events[1] or relatively rapid climate changes. There is evidence of precession and changes in axial tilt, but this change is on much longer time-scales and does not involve relative motion of the spin axis with respect to the planet. However, in what is known as true polar wander, the Earth rotates with respect to a fixed spin axis. Research shows that during the last 200 million years a total true polar wander of some 30° has occurred, but that no rapid shifts in Earth's geographic axial pole were found during this period.[2] A characteristic rate of true polar wander is 1° or less per million years.[3] Between approximately 790 and 810 million years ago, when the supercontinent Rodinia existed, two geologically-rapid phases of true polar wander may have occurred. In each of these, the magnetic poles of Earth shifted by approximately 55° due to a large shift in the crust.[4] The geographic poles are defined by the points on the surface of Earth that are intersected by the axis of rotation. The pole shift hypothesis describes a change in location of these poles with respect to the underlying surface – a phenomenon distinct from the changes in axial orientation with respect to the plane of the ecliptic that are caused by precession and nutation, and is an amplified event of a true polar wander. Geologically, a surface shift separate from a planetary shift, enabled by earth's molten core. Pole shift hypotheses are not connected with plate tectonics, the well-accepted geological theory that Earth's surface consists of solid plates which shift over a viscous, or semifluid asthenosphere; nor with continental drift, the corollary to plate tectonics which maintains that locations of the continents have moved slowly over the surface of Earth,[5] resulting in the gradual emerging and breakup of continents and oceans over hundreds of millions of years.[6] Pole shift hypotheses are not the same as geomagnetic reversal, the occasional reversal of Earth's magnetic field (effectively switching the north and south magnetic poles).Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]

fWotD Episode 2566: Mars Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Tuesday, 14 May 2024 is Mars.Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. The surface of Mars is orange-red because it is covered in iron(III) oxide dust, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet". Mars is among the brightest objects in Earth's sky, and its high-contrast albedo features have made it a common subject for telescope viewing. It is classified as a terrestrial planet and is the second smallest of the Solar System's planets with a diameter of 6,779 km (4,212 mi). In terms of orbital motion, a Martian solar day (sol) is equal to 24.5 hours, and a Martian solar year is equal to 1.88 Earth years (687 Earth days). Mars has two natural satellites that are small and irregular in shape: Phobos and Deimos.The relatively flat plains in northern parts of Mars strongly contrast with the cratered terrain in southern highlands – this terrain observation is known as the Martian dichotomy. Mars hosts many enormous extinct volcanos (the largest is Olympus Mons, 21.9 km or 13.6 mi tall) and one of the largest canyons in the Solar System (Valles Marineris, 4,000 km or 2,500 mi long). Geologically, the planet is fairly active with marsquakes trembling underneath the ground, dust devils sweeping across the landscape, and cirrus clouds. Carbon dioxide is substantially present in Mars's polar ice caps and thin atmosphere. During a year, there are large surface temperature swings on the surface between −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F) to 5.7 °C (42.3 °F) similar to Earth's seasons, as both planets have significant axial tilt.Mars was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. During the Noachian period (4.5 to 3.5 billion years ago), Mars's surface was marked by meteor impacts, valley formation, erosion, and the possible presence of water oceans. The Hesperian period (3.5 to 3.3–2.9 billion years ago) was dominated by widespread volcanic activity and flooding that carved immense outflow channels. The Amazonian period, which continues to the present, has been marked by the wind as a dominant influence on geological processes. Due to Mars's geological history, the possibility of past or present life on Mars remains of great scientific interest.Since the late 20th century, Mars has been explored by uncrewed spacecraft and rovers, with the first flyby by the Mariner 4 probe in 1965, the first orbit by the Mars 2 probe in 1971, and the first landing by the Viking 1 probe in 1976. As of 2023, there are at least 11 active probes orbiting Mars or on the Martian surface. Mars is an attractive target for future human exploration missions, though in the 2020s no such mission is planned.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 06:31 UTC on Friday, 17 May 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Mars on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Amy Standard.

Coffee with Samso Episode 184 is with Julian Ford, CEO of Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL) updating us on Riversgold's exploration activities since the last conversation in March 2023.   Jump straight to the interview In our previous conversation, we discussed Riversgold Limited as a lithium explorer that I found interesting. One of the reasons I liked them is because they were among the few companies actively engaged in genuine mineral exploration for lithium. It's important for people to understand that the recent discoveries in the lithium sector have largely come from reevaluating previous exploration efforts. Companies have revisited their drill cores and discovered that the historical drilling had indeed encountered pegmatites.   Samso is not begruding of the success of these companies, such as the Mount Holland Lithium project, which is now privately owned and operated by Covalent Lithium. Riversgold, on the other hand, continues its exploration activities in search of valuable lithium-bearing pegmatite.   What I find interesting about Riversgold is their Northern Zone project. When I was researching this topic, I initially found their release titled Farm-in to Significant Porphyry Hosted Gold Project a bit confusing because the project had yielded promising results.   The company is proceeding cautiously to ensure the reliability of these results, which I believe demonstrates prudent management. Julian, in particular, discusses the project and takes a measured view of its potential.   What does Porphyry mean?   Here is a description of what a porphyry deposit means from Earth Science Australia:   The major products from porphyry copper deposits are copper and molybdenum or copper and gold. The term porphyry copper now includes engineering as well as geological considerations; It refers to large, relatively low-grade, epigenetic, intrusion-related deposits that can be mined using mass mining techniques.   Geologically, the deposits occur close to or in granitic intrusive rocks that are porphyritic in texture.   There are usually several episodes of intrusive activity, so expect swarms of dykes and intrusive breccias. The country rocks can be any kind of rock, and often there are wide zones of closely fractured and altered rock surrounding the intrusions.   As is described following, this country rock alteration is distinctive and changes as you approach mineralization. Where sulphide mineralization occurs, surface weathering often produces rusty-stained bleached zones from which the metals have been leached; if conditions are right, these may redeposit near the water table to form an enriched zone of secondary mineralization.       Figure 1: A schematic diagram of the basic structure of a porphyritic profile.     What is the significance of a Porphyry deposit?   Based on my experience, it is quite rare to find a fertile porphyry that contains only gold. Most porphyry deposits are typically associated with copper. However, Julian informs us that their system at the Northern Zone is devoid of any other metals and is solely a gold system. When we examine the historical drilling results, we can observe significant depth of mineralization, and the grades fall within the range of atypical mineralised porphyry gold system.   Julian has mentioned that they are currently awaiting the results from their recent drilling program. These results will help confirm the assay content and determine if there is any false enrichment present (see below).   Completion of Diamond Drilling of Northern Zone 26km ESE of Kalgoorlie   It will be fascinating to see the assay numbers and gain a better understanding of the potential of this project. The core samples from the drilling program appear to be in excellent condition, which further adds to the anticipation of the assay results.   Listen to Julian Ford here:     Chapters:   00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:03 Updates from Riversgold 02:57 The Gold Porphyry story 11:22 Metallurgical Cyanide Bottle Roll Test Results 13:37 How did the Northern Zone Project fly under the radar for so long? 19:34 Mt Weld Project 20:54 How should shareholders look at Riversgold? 23:04 Newsflow 23:50 Is the Porphyry story the main focus of Riversgold? 25:26 Why Riversgold? 26:03 Conclusion   Samso's Conclusion   The Riversgold story is an evolving narrative, and I appreciate the adventurous spirit of their projects. Julian impresses me as a composed and strategic individual who possesses a deep understanding of his work. When examining the Northern Zone project, the drilling results are remarkable and align with the expectations for a sizable deposit with low-grade bulk tonnage.   According to the Visual Capitalist, porphyry deposits are very large, polymetallic systems that typically contain copper along with other important metals. Much of today's mineral production depends on porphyries: 60% of copper, 95% of molybdenum, and 20% of gold comes from this deposit type.   The Bingham Canyon Mine, located in Utah and owned by Rio Tinto and in production since 1906, annually produces approximately: 300,000 tons of copper 400,000 oz of gold 4,000,000 oz of silver 30,000,000 lbs of molybdenum The value of the resources extracted to date from the Bingham Canyon Mine is greater than the Comstock Lode, Klondike, and California gold rush mining regions combined.   So as you can see above, the magnitude of finding a deposit of this nature in a Tier-1 jurisdiction like Western Australia is going to make Riversgold appreciate in market capitalisation.

Geologically, the falls were formed at the end of the last ice age approximately 13,000 years ago. Formerly the Passaic had followed a shorter course through the Watchung Mountains near present-day Summit. As the glacier receded, the river's previous course was blocked by a newly formed moraine. A large lake, called Glacial Lake Passaic, formed behind the Watchungs. As the ice receded, the river found a new circuitous route around the north end of the Watchungs, carving the spectacular falls through the underlying basalt, which was formed approximately 200 million years ago. The falls later became the site of a habitation of the historic Lenape Native Americans, who followed earlier indigenous cultures in the region. Later, in the colonial era, Dutch settlers developed a community here beginning in the 1690s. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/realtravelhistory/support

The Space Show Summer Series: Lunar Science In the Artemis Era — Episode 40 The Space Show podcast is on its annual summer hiatus for six weeks. In its place, we are pleased to present our Summer Series: Lunar Science In the Artemis Era. This episode features Where to go? Geologically neutral site, nanotectonic Dorsa Aldrovandi, active tectonics, Korolov cluster, new impact craters, Mare Crisium, Mons Malapert, or Ina with: * Timothy Livengood * Caleb Fassett * Marshall Eubanks * Thomas Walters * Emerson Speyerer * Seiichi Nagihara * Dan Moriarty * Max Robinson. Lunar Science In the Artemis Era is a series which focuses attention on the science to be done at the Moon by both robotic missions and the crewed Artemis missions. These programs are based on a series of NASA workshops held during 2020, 2021 and 2022 in which the scientific knowledge gaps that need to be filled to achieve the Artemis human missions to the Moon, and the scientific investigations that scientists desire to be done both on the Moon and in the vicinity of the Moon, were discussed. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the participants were talking from their homes and offices, and so the audio quality varies considerably. Some relevant talks were not included because the audio was so dreadful as to make them unlistenable.

Geologically speaking, epicenters are dangerous places to be. They've also raised some usage questions which are probably less dangerous, though it may depend on who you ask.

July 4: Independence Day—USA Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: White“...nobis donet en patria.”Father hunger—the primordial longing to impress, to emulate, or just to find dad—moves us more fundamentally than any thirst for mom. Mom's warm love and constant presence is typically assumed. She is always near. We spend the first nine months of life sheltered inside her sanctuary, a memory of closeness and protection buried deep in our psyche. But dad comes later, a remote creature orbiting around mother and child with a deep voice, sandpaper face, and rugged hands. Knowing him, and loving him, takes some work, and for that reason seems more worth it. The desire for a pater, a father, goes hand in hand with our need for a patria, or fatherland. To be a citizen of the world is not to be a citizen at all. The world is not a country. We don't want to be born at sea, drifting under a flag, any more than we want to be born into family. We want to be born into a family. We want to master one language, stir upon hearing one hymn, and stand with our civic siblings to honor one flag. We want, and need, to love a patria. Independence Day of the United States of America commemorates the founding events of a country as worthy of admiration and appreciation as any country ever was. The United States merits respect for a thousand compelling reasons, but honoring her also points to the inherent limits of even the healthiest love of fatherland.There are only a few things a man will die for: family, religion, and country being the most obvious. To emigrate to the United States many immigrants have, for centuries now, disrupted family life, bid farewell to well-loved homelands, abandoned historic family farms, and been absent from spouses and children for months and years. Why? Because it was worth it! A country worth dying for is a country worth dying to get into. No country has ever afforded its citizens what America has afforded them. Its success is unequalled. And yet, for all of its flourishing opportunity, robust legal structures, and protection of human rights, the patria of the U.S. is not, and no patria could ever be, Heaven itself. A country provides meaning, but not ultimate meaning.When Americans die they will not be judged by Uncle Sam. An old man with a long white beard wearing a star-spangled waistcoat will not stand before the individual soul. Uncle Sam won't judge anyone because Uncle Sam doesn't exist. He is as real as the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, or Lady Liberty. The Statue of Liberty consists of a rigid iron frame draped in thin copper. That's it. “She” rusts. Meaningful secular holidays invite reflection upon what kind of truth perdures and upon the difference between two close cousins, faith and patriotism. Jesus Christ is not like Uncle Sam. He is not an anthropomorphism, a depiction in human form of a non-human reality. We have statues and paintings of Jesus Christ for the same reason we have statues and paintings of George Washington—because the camera hadn't been invented yet. If there had been cameras in first-century Palestine, Jesus' face would be as correctly shown as Abraham Lincoln's.Our crucifixes don't symbolize God. They show God. Jesus is not a metaphor. He is not the human representation of ethereal God-like qualities. Jesus thundered with the authority of God, referred to Himself as God, and performed Godly acts, including the ultimate miracle of raising Himself from the dead. Jesus doesn't represent something else, or someone else, that hides behind a curtain or a mask. Our love of God, then, should run deeper than our love of country because God will, by definition, never end. Mighty Rome ended. Weeds grew, and still grow, in the bustling forum where Julius Caesar was knifed in the back. America's raw military power, global cultural reach, and thumping economy will not last forever. Countries rise and countries fall, but God and His Church will endure. Geological time uses immense spans of millennia, ages, and eons to capture the reality of glacial movement, tectonic shifts, and continental splitting. We should use similar references of time when describing the vastness of God. A two-thousand-year-old Church is ancient of days in man-time. But in God-time the Church is just a babe rocking in a cradle. Geologically we would understand this. Theologically we should as well. The United States will pass into history in one blink of God's eyelashes. So we should love more what deserves more love. We should love less what deserves less love. And we should live more fully only for a deathless God who grants endless life in a true homeland that will never cease.God the Father, may our hearts bear a deep love for our earthly fatherland as an extension of our love for You, our Father in Heaven. May our one heart burst with love for all those that deserve our love, most especially our family, our nation, and our Church.

Rooster Talk Episode 59 is with Andrew Paterson, Managing Director of Great Boulder Resources Limited (ASX: GBR)   This is an update on the Side Well Project which is all about the recent drilling results with the discovery of new mineralisation at Ironbark.   Great Boulder Resources appear to have a mineralised province with Side Well as the system that is producing metals in Ironbark is distinctly different to what is happening at Mulga Bill. Andrew narrates us on why this appear to be the case.   Ironbark is 1.4km to the east of Mulga Bill. The the drilling results may be showing that there is a series of potential pods of mineralisation which will help the overall picture of potential for Side Well.   A intercept of 20m @ 3.05 g/t of gold should not be ignored. In any project, this is clear indication of mineralisation that is not isolated. In my opinion, the discovery of these kind of drill intercepts may be early indication of a level of gold endowment which would excite any company. The excitement stems from the fact that it is within a province that has already shown continuous mineralisation at Mulga Bill.   If you are isolated without Mulga Bill, you can be safe to question the potential. However, if you are in a decent system, you would expect numerous deposits nearby.   What is interesting with the results coming out from the announcements is that there is clear horizons where the gold is being identified.   There is clear indication that it is still early to make a decision of the future potential, but it is looking promising. The presence of copper at Mulga Bill and the lack (currently) of copper at Ironbark is determining the perception of difference at Side Well. It is this that should be noted for audiences.     Chapters:   00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 00:55 Andrew update the Great Boulder Resources Limited 01:24 Is Ironbark similar to Mulga Bill? 02:50 Will the Ironbark mineralisation be a similar system to Mulga Bill? 03:24 Geologically, can multi system exist in a similar area? 05:44 Is multi system a good thing for Side Well? 07:00 Is the copper in Mulga Bill significant? 08:40 Is Great Boulder Resources feeling like Side Well will be a Mine? 10:28 Will Mulga Bill be a series of pits along strike? 11:29 Is the copper good or a bad thing for the project. 13:32 Mineralisation seem to happen in the same horizon. 14:31 Is IP the holy grail for Great Boulder? 16:27 Is geophysics being used more today than 20 years ago? 17:34 News flow for Great Boulder Resources Limited? 19:45 What does Andrew think of the current market sentiment? 22:37 Why this is a good time to look at good companies. 23:24 Andrews last words 23:46 Conclusions

As part of our continuing series on Geology, Tom welcomes geologist Ronald Parratt to the show. Ronald has been fascinated by rocks and after taking chemistry classes discovered that his real interest lay in the field of geology. He completed a masters degree in geology after taking three years off working in the field. He remembers when Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard and he witnessed the rise in the price of gold. He became involved in new types of gold discoveries and methods for extracting it like heap leaching. This discovery created a huge increase in gold extraction in Nevada. The United States produces more gold today than at any period before. Ron discusses the new types of deposits the world needs around lithium and have been found in clay lake beds. Some of these should be in production in the coming years. Sometimes you find 'gold' in some rocks like carlin mineralization that was unexpected. Understanding the chemical, minerology, alteration phases is key. Some deposits have well understood geological models but some deposits aren't as well understood. He discusses how he became involved in the Long Canyon project and how the system interested him. It seemed like a good bet for a junior company and it panned out and that story continues today. His first discovery of merit was in 1987 at Rabbit Creek. He discusses the different approaches he took over his career to find significant deposits. Nevada has always been a pretty good place to work for mining. Geologically it has the right types of intrusive rocks and are relatively young features. Nevada has a lot of geothermal energy production and they continue to find these systems which are often turned into power plants. These systems are likely the causative reason for the gold deposits. He explains the process involved in heap leaching gold deposits and how it came to be developed. The major mining companies prefer tier one large deposits that will provide a long mine life. Mines take a long time and effort to develop so larger deposits are always preferred. Ron explains how he approaches projects and factors he considers when evaulating equity opportunity in companies. Lastly, he says "Focus on the people first."

Our GeoShort today focuses on Spherical Weathering, where normal rocks are turned into round shapes by chemical erosion. Many rocks have cracks in them, called joints, and these joints often break the rocks up into little cubes or rectangular prisms.  Cubes and prisms have a high surface area relative to their volume, and the corners especially. So fluids that have weak acid in them preferentially eat away at the corners, eventually turning the cube of rock into a perfect sphere!  Spheres have the lowest Surface Area/Volume of any shape, because they have no corners or edges left.  The rock just gets made into a smaller and smaller sphere then. While spherical weathering is not a common process, it is not rare either.  So, keep an eye out when you are outside next, you may find some Spherical Weathering near you!  ——————————————————Instagram: @planetgeocastTwitter: @planetgeocastFacebook: @planetgeocast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ_A82nOMu0nIvZto6zMPqgEmail: planetgeocast@gmail.comWebsite: https://planetgeocast.buzzsprout.com/

Episode 33 This is Part 2 of 2 in our two-part series with Dr. Greta Bowling. In this episode, the biologist and geologists square off and stand up to fight for the one true meaning and definition of a mineral. Leading off the episode is Jason from Coastlands as we pick his musical brainball and talk shop about HoneyBuckets. The latter half the episode picks up where we left on in part one, as we shift our attention to the word Mineral. We found some overlap and discuss how these differ depending on how we approach the subject. A simple definition from each field would be: To a Geologist – any element or compound that is 1. Naturally Occurring, 2. Generally Inorganic, 3. Solid, with a 4. Crystalline Structure which has 5. A Definite Chemical Composition (with some variation) versus To a Biologist – An inorganic ion or nutrients. As we focus in, keeping our eye on the ions, we discuss how they come to be through weathering of rock and taken up by the plants. We talk about the functions of Oxygen, Calcium, Sodium, and Iron as minerals in biological systems and the significance as elements in geology. We close things off with a little Beach Clean Up talk and finally settle on a rough date: the Second Weekend in October! As always, until next time, remember to….

When Stockhouse Editorial last caught up with Green River Gold Corp. (CCR) (CSE.CCR, Forum) and its CEO Perry Little last December, the company was, like so many others, adjusting to doing business in a COVID-19 world but at the same time keeping busy with a series of new property acquisitions, partnerships, and M&A’s.   Founded in the summer of 2017, Quesnel, BC-based Green River Gold Corp. is a publicly-traded mineral exploration company that has a controlling interest in a wide variety of projects in this historic gold producing region. In addition to exploring its highly prospective hard rock gold property in the historic Barkerville area of B.C., Green River rents placer claims to placer gold miners for cash rent, in lieu of a royalty. The Company also sells mining supplies and equipment to placer miners from its 6,000 square foot facility also located in Quesnel. The Company is even a limited partner in a partnership that purchases raw placer gold directly from miners.   In this intriguing metals & mining podcast, Stockhouse Media’s Dave Jackson was rejoined by Mr. Little to get investors and company shareholders up-to-date on the latest and greatest hits from CCR.   TRANSCRIPT BELOW:   SH: As I alluded to the intro, it’s been a busy last six months for CCR and things look to be ramping up big time in the Cariboo this summer. Can you give us an update on what’s been happening with Green River Gold?   PL: Hi Dave. It is nice to be back. We have had a very busy stretch, actually going back over a year now, to about the time of the first podcast we did. We have moved the ball forward on every aspect of the business over that time….and we have a lot of aspects. We are closing our $700,000 financing this week as well. It was originally set at $500,000 but we had a pleasant surprise recently with some sudden interest out of Europe and we were oversubscribed. A German newsletter writer has picked up on the story and is covering us for the German, Swiss and Austrian markets. It is good to be noticed.   SH: Perry, you’ve just announced commencement of the U-A-V-mag airborne drone geophysics survey on its Fontaine Lode Gold Project. These kind of geo surveys don’t come cheap. So what’s the high-end potential of what lies beneath surface here?   PL: Well, as you know, we really took our time, and we were very deliberate with the acquisition and staking of that property. In my days as a stockbroker, I had followed the Barkerville gold story for over 15 years and I had also been following our other neighbour, Omineca mining with their Wingdam project, for a long time. I was quite familiar with the area before we started getting serious looking for property in 2017. It wasn’t until March 2019 that we finally made the acquisition of the core part of the property and staked all of the surrounding ground that we wanted. In total we have about 90 square kilometres of hard rock claims that are contiguous to the Barkerville Gold Mines property.   Our timing was a little lucky. One month after we closed on the acquisition, Osisko took over Barkerville Gold Mines and began to fast track the Barkerville property to production. That brought some serious capital to the neighbourhood and things really heated up. Omineca staked a bunch of additional property shortly after that and both companies have been moving forward quickly with exploration and development. Our property is bookended by Osisko and Omineca.   Osisko’s project has an indicated resource of 3.2 million ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 2.72 million ounces of gold. We are definitely in a good neighbourhood and we got in before the prices went up.   Geologically speaking, the Fontaine property straddles an 18-kilometre length of the Quesnel, Barkerville and Slide Mountain terranes. Between the early 1970’s and early 1990’’s, sporadic work was carried out on the property, consisting of prospecting and sampling bedrock and overlying soil horizons. Several showings with anomalous gold and silver values were identified as a result of this work.   The project has not really seen some of the modern exploration techniques. We should get the results of the UAV-MAG geophysics survey within a few weeks. The survey will cover 67 square kilometres with 1,500-line kilometres with 50 metre spacing. The drones can fly at treetop level to give exceptional detail. We expect that this will help us to identify high priority drill targets for an anticipated drill program. We are very excited to see the survey results in a few short weeks. We will be announcing our 2021 surface and near-surface exploration programs for the property shortly.   SH: In a recent Stockhouse article, you detailed how – with renewed exploration – CCR is now the at the epicentre of the original Cariboo gold rush. How so?   PL: The original Cariboo Gold Rush started in 1860 and was centred around Barkerville which is only a few kilometres from our Fontaine Project. At its peak in the 1860’s and 1870’s, Barkerville was one of the largest communities in Western North America. Historic gold production in the Cariboo since the original gold rush has been about 3.8 million ounces, roughly half of that from placer deposits and half from lode deposits. Placer and hard rock activity are both picking up again. Our business model allows us to benefit from the increased levels of placer activity while searching for the big lode gold score.   There is a lot going on in the area again, for the first time in decades really. Osisko’s appearance on the scene late in 2019 has sparked interest in the Cariboo. Omineca is actively drilling on the other side of us as well. I believe it is the beginning of a new gold rush in the area. Much of the Cariboo has not really been explored using modern exploration techniques. The old-timers got the easy-to-reach placer gold but did not have the technology to go deeper or to explore as effectively for lode gold. There is a lot to be discovered yet. The sources of the placer gold found on many of the numerous creeks and rivers in the Cariboo have yet to be located. The hunt is on.   SH: Perry, the Company looks set for strong growth in 2021. How are you placed to expand operations?   PL: This initial Fontaine exploration is just the start of what we plan to do with that property, but we have several other irons in the fire as well. When we acquired the Fontaine project, we were aware of some interesting nickel showings on a portion of the property. Recent developments have highlighted that potential and we will have more to say about that over the next few weeks. In February we announced the acquisition of the 1,214-hectare Kymar Silver Project near Invermere B.C., and we just announced our initial exploration plans for Kymar for this Summer. It has some interesting historical production, and we are excited to start work on that one as well.   As you know, we are more than just an exploration company. We got started on a number of different gold-related business ventures over the past couple of years and they are all expanding this year.   SH: That brings me back to what I had mentioned earlier that the company really has developed a one-of-kind business model in the metals & mining space. Can you tell our investor audience some of the inherent benefits in it?   PL: Sure Dave. I followed and invested in a lot of junior mining companies over a couple of decades as a stockbroker. One of the issues that most junior miners face is the constant need to raise financing to pay for exploration, and the dilution that comes with it. From the beginning, I looked to find businesses related to gold mining that could generate cash flow to offset some or hopefully all of that reliance on the often-fickle capital markets. So far, we have started several businesses that service the hundreds of placer miners that are active in the Cariboo. We retail placer mining supplies, and we also sell larger placer mining equipment, much of which is manufactured by a related private company right in our shared building. Our building is located in Quesnel, in the heart of the Cariboo district and an easy commute from most of our mining properties. We are a Limited Partner in a partnership which purchases raw placer gold from the local miners and sells it to refiners and other end users. We also provide consulting and permitting services to the local placer mining community.   Those businesses allow us to maintain a talented local workforce and give us year-round access to our Cariboo properties from just down the road. Our exploration costs are reduced by having local geological expertise and a local labour force.   Ultimately, the idea is to generate enough cash flow from our other businesses to fund much of our exploration costs internally.   SH: Part of your business model is really unique in the mining space – acquire and develop placer mining claims and then leasing them out. Can you explain this in detail to our audience?   PL: In simple terms, we are a placer mining company that will never do any placer mining. Think of it as a modified royalty model applied to placer gold mining. Most placer mines are small, mom and pop operations that are chronically underfunded. We have 24 square kilometres of placer mining claims and we have a number of claims that are permitted and ready to mine. Learning from our own experience of placer mining through a private company, we came up with a model that works to allows placer miners to get mining with less start-up cost. It also gives Green River access to safe cash flows. We rent out the placer claims for a monthly cash rent based on expected gold recoveries and the placer miners take the exploration risk and develop the claims. We put up the reclamation bond. The miner saves the up-front cost of purchasing a claim and putting up the bond. We maintain ownership and get the benefit of the development work done by the renters and any exploration success that they have.   It is similar in many ways to land development, except that in our case, we acquire the land, permit it, and somebody else pays us to do the development. The amount of rent we receive is by far the lesser part of the benefit we receive. The increase in the value of the mining property as it gets turned into an operating mine, from a piece of raw forest, is the main benefit. If the miner is successful in discovering economic quantities of placer gold, the value of the claim will go up even more. We tend to own blocks of claims in the same vicinity so any mining success will push up the value of the proximate claims as well. Any money spent by the miner exploring or producing on our claims also extends the expiration date on the claims without us having to spend any money on assessment work. It works for the renter and it works for us.   SH: It would be remiss of me not to mention your stock has had been on a bit of a roller coaster ride over the last 12 months. What can you tell our investor audience regarding the current valuation of your stock and why you think it’s a good buy right now?   PL: With a little over 54 million shares outstanding, we currently have a market capitalization of less than $4 million. For that price, investors are getting our highly prospective 90 square kilometre Fontaine lode gold project, which is right next to a gold mine that is expected to be in production in 2023. They also get 24 square kilometres of placer gold claims, a retail business, a stake in a gold trading enterprise, our Quesnel Nickel Project, and our Kymar Silver Project. We also have a 6,000 square foot combined office, retail, and manufacturing building that serves as home-base for all our businesses. We have local employees and consultants who live within an easy daily commute of all our Cariboo properties.   All that for less than $4 million, and we are just getting started. We have a lot of other ideas in the works.   For more information on the company and investment opportunities in Green River Gold Corp., visit their website at www.greenrivergold.ca.     FULL DISCLOSURE: This is a paid article produced by Stockhouse Publishing.

Manda Aufochs Gillespie/ Folk U Radio - Achaeology 102: the BC edition of the Science of Once and Future Things. It's fascinating to think about how human civilization evolved. In Archaeology 102: The Science of Once and Future Things BC edition professor and neighbour Dr. Brian Hayden, archeologist, takes us through thousands of years of human history and what it can tell us about the peoples of BC. Archaeology, like all sciences, has those aspects of it which are certain, probable, and speculative Dr. Hayden tells us. Because archeology as a science has only been around for 150 years there are not a lot of certain things, such as that the first stone tools showed up 2 to 3 million years ago, that the first people came to North America 15 to 20,0000 years ago, and that both cultural and biological evolution of humans has occurred. These things are known. Recent findings in BC, such as the 14,000 year old artifacts at Triquet Island, now compose the oldest artifacts found in North America. The artifacts were found just 500 km northwest of Victoria and included tools for lighting fires, fish hooks, and spears. They seem to confirm what many archeologists have speculated: that humans first came into North America along the coast of BC 20,000 to 15,000 years ago. Geologically at this time, the ice-sheets were parting. These ice-sheets covered the area and were covered by 1 kilometre-deep ice. This ice melted about 10,000 years ago in this area. It is probable that these first peoples were simple hunter gatherers that lived with no competition, where little or nothing was owned, and everyone lived in social equality without evidence of conflict, war, or hierarchies. Around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago things changed. Much of Dr. Hayden's particular research focuses on the complex hunter gather communities that began to develop around this time. These communities developed then technology to harvest and store food and are marked by more productivity and food storage capacity, more sedentary lifestyles (which in this case means that they stayed in particular areas for more of the time rather than always moving with game), larger living groups, more permanent structures, greater use of fish and other resources. The development of storage technologies had profound implications on all aspects of early human peoples. Storage meant preparing for spoilage, which meant overproduction and having more than was immediately needed. What do with the surplus? It seems to have been used for individual advantage and thus begins evidence of inequality. The evidence of inequality in archeological terms that began to develop around 4,000 years ago, includes:—human remains began to show signs of human trauma compatible with early weapons of the times— signs of adornment (like early lip rings) in human remains— a burial site with 350,000 stone beads and shell jewelry, representing thousands of hours of labor —and the linguistic origins of the word slavery in traditional languages suggests that the slavery originated in the BC region 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. Dr. Hayden also discussed the eponymously named Hayden Project at Keatley Creek an archeological site in B.C. with a great deal of evidence on how early people in advanced hunter-gather societies lived. This site also includes evidence of what Dr. Hayden refers to as early “secret societies.” He's got an upcoming book out on the topic.

In this episode, Neil, Niki, and Natalia discuss the disputed whiteness of classical statues, the Emmy Award-winning show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Native American claims to land rights in Oklahoma. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  A small cadre of archaeologists and art historians are challenging the assumption that classical statuary were always white, the New Yorker reported. Niki recommended this article from the Nation on the connection between white supremacy and mythologies of a white past. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is back with a second season. Niki referred to this Refinery29 article that contrasted lead character Midge Maisel with Joan Rivers. Natalia suggested Emily Nussbaum’s critique at the New Yorker and Hey Alma’s historical critique of the show. A murder trial in Oklahoma is raising questions about Native American land rights. Natalia recommended this Daily Beast article about how the white, libertarian land rights movement is cynically invoking the Native American example.    In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed Shayla Love’s VICE article, “The Young and the Uncared For.” Neil commented on James Gorman’s New York Times article, “It Could Be the Age of the Chicken, Geologically.” Niki shared Ruth Graham’s Slate article, “How ‘Woke Ammon Bundy’ Became the World’s Most Surprising Resistance Figure.”

Ohio’s geologic history is long, ever-changing, and sometimes mysterious. Local geologist Jon Walters and Great Parks interpreter Angela Marczi take us on a journey through that history; exploring the role geology has taken in shaping both nature and culture.

Geologically speaking we are going to be speaking about a one of a kind Giant Rock that is located in the Mojave Desert in California, that is seven stories high and covers almost 6,100 square feet. Some say it is the largest freestanding boulder in the world.But that's not all. Not only is it an ancient spiritual site for the Native American Hopi Tribe, it is also a UFO Hot Spot.

The odds are stacked against Haiti. Geologically, it's wedged between tectonic plates, where earthquakes happen. Meteorologically, it's in the center of hurricane alley, where massive storms roil. And historically, the country is forever fighting a colonial legacy that left it largely incapable of recovering from natural disasters.

Moses Lake is a town that is situated about an hour and a half from where I live. I don't usually choose to go there; however, in the winter, my children will often have basketball tournaments there once or twice. The journey there takes you through flat farmland, and then through miles of dry open areas of, well, nothing really. The type of land is called 'scabland' where there is very little rainfall(1), and a bush called 'sagebrush' grows everywhere. Geologically speaking, it's part of the largest lava plateau(2) in the world, and it stretches for miles and miles and miles. Part of the road to Moses Lake travels along side the Columbia river which is impressive. But as the road turns away from the river, the land stretches out for miles with no sign of trees or houses. Moses Lake has, of course, a very large lake which initially provided fish for the inhabitants of the town. It was named after Chief Moses, the leader of the Sinkiuse tribe, who had to negotiate with the U.S government to give up the land in exchange for a reservation. The High School is named after him. His picture is on the walls, and a point of pride for the town. As each basketball team has a name, like The Wenatchee Panthers, Moses Lake High School athletes are called the Chiefs, meaning the leaders in Native Indian tradition. The rest of the town doesn't seem to reflect much of its Indian roots(3) which is a shame. It has an important airplane training base, and some farming, but the town itself is not very attractive. I can imagine, however, Moses Lake transformed by some good planning and creativity. It could become an attractive reflection of Native Indian history, and modern progress. 1. I used the word 'rainfall' in the podcast instead of 'rain'. Why? Its because I was talking about the average amount of rain in a year. You can also use the word when talking about a shorter amount of time, like a month. It implies a measurement. a. The rainfall in Seattle is actually a lot more than in the U.K. b. The rainfall each Spring causes floods in town. (Here you could use 'rain', but I wish to indicate volume). 2. The word 'plateau' is a geological term that is sometimes used figuratively. a. The castle is situated on the edge of a plateau that sits in the middle of the valley. b. The computer sales plateaued after three weeks, and then went down. 3. 'Roots' here in the podcast refers to the Native American ethnic heritage. The use of the word is figurative, but of course we use the word literally as well. a. Cutting down the tree was easy, but pulling up all of the roots was hard work! b. They have just moved to a new town, and hope to eventually put down roots there. Click the link for the Android app

Where rivers meet the ocean, coastlines tend to bend either inward or outward, creating estuaries and deltas. But how do they get those shapes? A huge thank-you to the following organizations, all working toward sustainable deltas, for sponsoring this video: the Belmont Forum, the Sustainable Deltas Initiative, the National Center for Earth-Surface Dynamics, the St Anthony Falls Laboratory of the University of Minnesota, and the DELTAS project. These organizations study deltas around the world, in particular how they’re threatened by human activities such as building dams, channelizing rivers, and climate change-induced sea-level rise. If we don’t pay attention, we might lose the landform that allowed us to become civilized in the first place. Thanks also to our Patreon patrons: - Today I Found Out - Jeff Straathof - Mark Roth - Maarten Bremer - Tony Fadell - Antoine Coeur - Nicholas Buckendorf - Alberto Bortoni - Valentin - Muhammad Shifaz ___________________________________________ Want to learn more about the topic in this week’s video? Here are some keywords/phrases to get your googling started: – delta: the piled-up sediment (typically triangular, or greek-letter-delta-shaped) deposited by a river as it flows into a larger body of water – estuary: a partially enclosed body of brackish (part salt, part fresh) water that connects one or more ocean-bound streams/rivers to the open sea. Geologists classify estuaries into four basic types (bar-built, coastal plain/drowned river, tectonic, and fjord), based on the geologic processes that formed them. – ice age: this is a term that geologists use a little differently than non-scientists. Geologically speaking, an ice age is a fairly long period (~100-300 million years) of relatively cold temperatures on Earth. Within these long periods of time, the climate warms and cools lots of times, causing the ice sheets to retreat and advance; geologists refer to the colder time intervals as "glacials" and the warmer periods as "interglacials". We are currently in an "interglacial" phase (that started ~15,000 years ago) of an ice age that started ~2.6 million years ago, but because that's kind of complicated, we just say "the end of the last ice age" when what we really mean is "the end of the last 'glacial' cycle of the current ice age." – marine transgression / marine regression: on the surface, these are just fancy ways of talking about sea level going up and down. But for geologists, "transgression" and "regression" are more useful, because land sometimes goes up and down too. For example, if movement along a tectonic fault causes part of the coast to drop below sea level, it might get flooded, but it wouldn't be accurate to attribute the flooding to sea level rise. So geologists describe the situation as "marine transgression" instead. These terms comes in handy when we're talking about deltas and estuaries: deltas are formed by marine regression, and estuaries by marine transgression. ___________________________________________ Credits (and Twitter handles): Script Writer: Emily Elert (@eelert) Script Editor: Kate Yoshida (@KateYoshida) Video Illustrator: Omkar Bhagat (@TheCuriousEnggr) Video Director: Emily Elert (@eelert) With Contributions From: Alex Reich (@alexhreich), Henry Reich (@minutephysics) and Ever Salazar (@eversalazar) Music by: Nathaniel Schroeder: http://www.soundcloud.com/drschroeder _________________________________________ Like our videos?
