It's a well know fact that large discoveries in base metals are becoming more and more scarce. As the years go by it's becoming increasingly difficult to identify deposits through the traditional methods of outcropping and drilling. With the demand for base and precious metals on the rise, it is imperative that miners use all the tools available to them...

*Note I am subject to a confidentiality agreement with RNC. All of the below observations regarding the mine are my own, and all related information is either minor or reflected in the company’s current public disclosure. Having the opportunity to visit the Beta Hunt mine in Western Australia was not only a privilege but an honor. The day I found...

In the last decade artificial intelligence (AI) went from being talked about in context of the terminator to something that is now engrained in our society.  We are surrounded by technology, some of which can think and react to the things we do. From the obvious smart phones to high frequency trading algorithms, we embrace AI because it is more...

Kalgoorlie is one of the most historic mining communities in Western Australia and for good reason.

The area was a hotbed for prospecting and people from all over the world made their way into WA for the opportunity to stake a claim and find Gold. Amongst those prospectors was a man by...

However, he was very welcoming and I must say, I rather...
