Value from Exploration Geology

1 CPD HourThe AusIMM Geoscience Society and AIG invite you to attend the Distinguished Lecture Series featuring guest speaker Dr Julian Vearncombe who will be presenting Value from Exploration Geology.

Two things impact value:

  1. the fundamentals of supply and demand, and
  2. sentiment.

Whilst messages given and received are not exactly the same as sentiment they feed off each other. This thought provoking one-hour talk will examine some of the messages geologists send, and those that the exploration industry gives and receives. Discussion topics will include:

  • Brownfields gold cannot be distinguished from greenfields gold.
  • Unrealistically large exploration targets are doomed to fail!
  • As an industry we need to cease the habit of assessing (gold) exploration as value-less.
  • We must increase the intellectual effort in exploration
