Which regions generate most discoveries?
Over the last years, we have actively speculated in #exploration sector.
Our approach has changed over time.
One of our strategies is to participate early on in discoveries.
🧵👇Tips on how to do it below.

Step #1: Stay up to date with exploration results announcements EVERY day.
For us #ASX and #TSX takes 10-20 min per day.
Success here comes down to:
• Know what you look for e.g. 20m @ 3% Cu
• Do not get distracted by noise
• You get faster over time
• Automate 😍

🧵The #nickel #exploration success rates by #ASX companies are better in 2022 than the commonly cited 1/1000.
We counted 53 exploration campaigns that focused on new exploration targets. No appraisal, resource drilling.
Of these, 70% were maiden exploration.

30% of the companies drilled historical discoveries/mines. Not suprisingly these yielded no significant results.
Maiden exploration: 15 found no mineralisation, 13 only occurence, but we also had 1 discovery. Yet to be confirmed as significant.

From the 53 projects only 5 drilled in the favourable tectonic setting and had quality geochemical/geophysical anomaly support.
These are the targets we should be drilling more! Results are still pending from #S2R and $ADD in this group.

I first heard about $HUR fractured basement prospect as a student at Aberdeen Univ. I went to an evening lecture where geologist, Rob Trice HUR CEO was laughed by industry for his idea of oil in the basement rocks.

A lot of investors that is starting in #exploration stocks asks: "What is the bare minimum that I need to know about #geology to understand #mining exploration?"
"Faults", "folds" and "fractures" are must to know!
Why? 🧐🧵
"Faults", "folds" and "fractures" are must to know!
Why? 🧐🧵
1⃣ They form important trapping sites for mineralised fluids and also hydrocarbons.
2⃣ They form important pathway for fluids to travel through surrounding hard rocks and tend to focus flow.
Below: "faults and fractures" forming in the middle of the "fold" due to bend of the rocks.

1/ Snowline Gold $SGD $SGD.V a short thread. I spent sometime this Labour day weekend going through SGD's Valley deposit & attempting to understand what the potential may be. I didn’t consider Gracie or any of their other prospects. Just Valley. #Mintwit #Gold #Exploration
2/ Full Disclaimer: I am a shareholder & have been since the fall of 2021. I recently bought more shares in the high $2’s & as high as $3.50. If I hadn’t been a shareholder previously I would be now. I truly believe SGD is on to something Tier 1.
3/ I hope these posts open your eyes to the potential I see and if not at least open the floor to constructive discussion. I really enjoy doing this type of work and would love to do it full time (If you know anybody let me know!)

So are mineral deposits more rare than oil deposits?
Oil fields and mineral deposits are widely distributed across different continents and occur in variety of geological settings.
It's difficult to explain success rate with distribution.

Cost of drilling:
25 MUSD for 2-3km deep oil well in shallow water
vs
0.25 MUSD for 500 m deep mining drill hole
Interestingly oil well is 100x more expensive.

Day when man first walked on moon. #Apollo11 #spaceflight carried Commander #NeilArmstrong and lunar module #Pilot, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. National Moon Day proclaimed in 1971 by then #US #USA #President Richard Nixon to honor #Anniversary of man's first moon landing.
Not only celebrates #historical human landing on moon but also opened opportunities for #future #Missions.

Today $SRHI completed its move to the TSX.V and I thought I’d share some exploration and production thoughts I’ve had as I’ve gone through the technical reports and discussed the asset with my mining contacts and why I think it’s the cheapest #copper producer and explorer around
From the technical report there is in excess of 100 occurances appear similar on their land holdings #copper #exploration #10bagger
.@allanbreports I'm looking at the "GUNSIGHT" silver mine in Arizona. It's in the TOHONO O'ODHAM NATION property. Respect. The patented mining claims and patented mill site (with water) bring certain rights within the US legal system. I need special advisor @allanbreports ?

1) Imagine if Neil and @TheRealBuzz had walked on the Moon wearing the BIS Lunar Spacesuit. Designed by the British Interplanetary Society in 1949 by a team that included Arthur C. Clarke, it was the first real attempt to design a spacesuit for the Moon and even included a cape!
2) The BIS suit had ingenious systems to cope with the harsh environment of the Moon. Pipes supplied oxygen and took away carbon dioxide. A ‘highly-silvered’ outer layer helped reflect sunlight, whilst a refrigeration system and a silver cape helped to regulate the temperature.
3) The spacesuit was particularly bulky, almost resembling a suit of medieval armour. It even housed a personal airlock system in the chest, the idea was that the astronaut could retract their arms from the sleeves to open the inner door of the airlock, allowing them to..

a) Summarization/Profiling
b) Exploratory Analytics
c) Exploratory Search
These 3 are mapped on a spectrum from no interaction and no requirement to domain knowledge, to high interaction and higher requirement of domain knowledge.

Less interactive methods require less domain knowledge, the system is doing all the work given some general definition of "interestingness". Yet, they also produce less detailed answers.
More interactive approaches require more domain knowledge, but can provide more details.

Also going to thank @GeoscienceBC and @AME_BC for the funding for the heritage work this year! 1000+ likes on a geology tweet is something I never thought we'd get! Fossils rule am I right?!
