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? 🧐🧵 Image
1⃣ They form important trapping sites for mineralised fluids and also hydrocarbons. Image
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. Image
3⃣ These geological structures are important to know as they will often define size of potential discovery or scale of regional mineral system.

I teach more about it + other important geology aspects in 2x 1h sessions in Geology 101 for Investors course. equivest.capital/geology-for-in…
Also if you cannot get your head around that rocks, which are hard deform by braking or folding. Check out some of the experiments:

IEA report on Critical Minerals is out.

Good summary of the battery metals market - recommend to read. A bit too positive on supply side in my opinion.

Some of the most impactful figures below 🧵
Clean energies are already taking large share of battery metals supply. Lithium is definitely in the lead.
Battery metals now have 320 Bln usd market and doubled in size in the last 5 years.

🧵90% of junior explorers lack a clear Exploration Strategy.

What is it?
Why do you need one?
And what are some examples? Image

Let's start with what a strategy is in the business terms.

💡HBR on strategy.
"A business strategy defines what an organization does differently from or better than rivals to create unique value."

"Strategy involves a clear set of choices that define what the firm is going to do and what it’s not going to do."

1/x Geophysics is a powerful tool in mineral exploration, but many investors and geologists struggle to interpret its results.

🧵Here's a simplified explanation of how it works:
2/x Geophysics is the only tool that allows us to see below the surface of the Earth. With seismic and tomography methods, we can peer tens to hundreds of kilometers deep.

Check out the example of tomography imaging below 😲. Source: https://blogs.egu.e...
3/x In mineral exploration, higher-resolution methods are required. Magnetics, gravity, electro-magnetics, and IP are some of the most commonly used techniques - you've probably seen them all in junior companies NSRs.

But what do they measure? And how can we use them?

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 😍
Step #1 cont.: Why EVERY day?

We missed the good announcements before. Most of the days nothing happens, but you do not want to miss the 200% move.

1/6 Most of the new #discovery announcements and good first holes ends up as a minor discovery.

How to spot significant discoveries as an investor?
2/6 Three steps to follow🪜:

1) Study significant discoveries
2) Study the failed discoveries
2) Learn the essentials of geology

Let's dig in.
3/6 Do the following:
• Select commodity of interest e.g. #copper #nickel #uranium #gold
• Study top discoveries made in the last years
• Look at announcements (grades, footprint, structures, geophysical anomalies etc.)
• Put it into a system
