Purpose of Discovery to Recovery

This podcast aims to bring together stories of the geoscience, technology, and people related to exploration and development of mineral deposits. The audience are generally geoscientists, many of whom are economic geologists. The hope is to have broad appeal and to highlight ideas, science, and approaches to our profession that are intriguing, educational, and thought-provoking. Technical language is used, but typically clarified and explained such that the material is generally accessible.
