🧠 The Importance of Developing a Critical-Analytical Mindset in Mining & Exploration Mining and mineral exploration are among the world’s most significant investment sectors, directly tied to economic security, energy transition, and advanced technologies. In such a complex and high-stakes environment, technical expertise alone is not enough. What truly makes a difference is cultivating a critical and analytical mindset that enables professionals to: 1. Interpret complex data – from geological, geochemical, and geophysical sources – and transform it into actionable insights. 2. Evaluate risks and investment opportunities – ensuring resources are allocated wisely and challenges are identified early. 3. Innovate solutions – applying reasoning and hypothesis testing to discover new approaches in exploration, drilling, and processing. 4. Make sound strategic decisions – balancing geological realities with market dynamics, policies, and long-term project goals. 5. Enhance safety and sustainability – linking technical, economic, and environmental perspectives to build value responsibly. 🔑 Bottom line: Building a critical-analytical mindset is not just a personal skill, it is a strategic tool that transforms complex data into reliable investment decisions and drives sustainable growth in mining and exploration. #Mining #Exploration #CriticalThinking #Geology #MiningIndustry #Sustainability #Leadership #DecisionMaking #Innovation

Mining project generation is often described as “finding a needle in a haystack.” I’ve heard this countless times from mining companies, corporate finance analysts, and fellow explorers. But what if we used a magnet? What if AI and data could surface the most promising, acquirable mining projects before they even hit the market—giving you a competitive edge, like securing a Sydney property before it ever goes to auction? Today, project generation is still reactive: sifting through government databases, relying on word of mouth, or waiting for a broker to call. We set out to flip this process—to make it proactive and predictive. That’s why we built a Project Opportunity Map: not just showing where projects are, but which ones are most likely to come up for sale in the next 6–12 months—and why. We modeled five key factors to calculate a Divestment Score for every project: - Maturity stage - Importance of the commodity in the company’s portfolio - Geographic isolation within the portfolio - Nearby competitors and infrastructure - Strategic fit indicators The result? An interactive intelligence map that narrowed 11,000+ projects down to fewer than 1,000 ranked, filterable opportunities. And when we validated it against historical data, over 95% of the projects we flagged were later sold or put into JV. You can read the full blog post linked in the comments—or reach out if you’d like to test drive the map.

As mining operations evolve to include more underground methods, the need for precise resource classification and robust planning is growing. 💡 In a recent study, Wood’s experts Antonio Cortes and Henry Kim explore how conditional simulation techniques can transform underground mine planning—especially during the critical early years of operation. 📊 By simulating geological uncertainty and optimising drill hole spacing in an Iron Oxide Copper Gold deposit, the team demonstrated how tighter drill grids can significantly improve confidence in resource classification and reduce risk in production forecasts. 🪨With decades of experience and proven methodologies, Wood continues to lead in applying advanced geostatistical techniques to support resilient and data-driven mining strategies.

Rimfire Pacific Mining has outlined three new base metal drill targets at its Broken Hill base metals project in New South Wales after reviewing historic exploration data. The work revisited airborne electromagnetic (VTEM) geophysical surveys carried out in 2012, along with drilling and geochemical records, and confirmed high-priority anomalies prospective for copper, cobalt, lead, silver and zinc.

The JORC Code and NI 43-101 are two prominent reporting standards used in the mining industry for resource estimation. Here is a comparison between the two: 1. **JORC Code (Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves)**: - **Region**: Primarily used in Australasia (Australia and parts of Asia). - **Main Principles**: - It focuses on providing clear guidelines for the reporting of exploration results, mineral resources, and ore reserves. - JORC requires transparent reporting and compliance with defined standards. - **Compliance**: Mandatory for companies listed on Australian stock exchanges. - **Categories**: - Exploration Results, Mineral Resources, and Ore Reserves are classified based on their geological certainty and economic viability. - **Competent Persons**: Reports must be prepared by a "Competent Person" who is a member of a recognized professional organization. 2. **NI 43-101 (National Instrument 43-101)**: - **Region**: Mainly used in Canada. - **Main Principles**: - It aims to standardize reporting on mineral properties to provide investors with clear information. - NI 43-101 ensures fair disclosure, accuracy, and transparency of mineral project information. - **Compliance**: Required for all Canadian companies listed on Canadian stock exchanges. - **Categories**: - Like JORC, NI 43-101 distinguishes between Exploration Results, Mineral Resources, and Mineral Reserves based on confidence levels and economic considerations. - **Qualified Persons**: Reports must be prepared by a "Qualified Person" who is required to be a professional geoscientist or engineer. In summary, both the JORC Code and NI 43-101 are reporting standards that aim to ensure transparency, accuracy, and consistency in reporting exploration results, mineral resources, and ore reserves. While they have similarities in the classification of resources, the main difference lies in the terminology used and the specific requirements for reporting in each standard.Barrick Mining Corporation Kinross Gold Corporation AngloGold Ashanti. #Resource drilling #geologist #Estimation Yedidia Mgema MAusIMM Exploration Geologist consultant machine learning enthusiast Smart Mining Resources email;yedidiamgema@outlook.com contact;+255694238804 (WhatsApp) 03.09.2025
