Jessica Keast’s Post

I highly recommend you tune in for Dave Lawie's chat with Jessica Keast on geohug Wednesday 24th April (register below). Most who know me understand how passionate I am about both how a better understanding of the value of information will reset capital inflows to mineral exploration, and probably more so, listening to Dave Lawie speak about the topic.

“who pays to prevent something bad from happening?”... “What is the value of that?” - Upstream by Dan Heath In the realm of mining, resource development and mineral exploration, Ore Body Knowledge stands as the critical financial keystone, shaping the economic viability and sustainability of mining ventures. This knowledge, when obtained early in the exploration phase and/or tactically during mining operations, can drastically reduce uncertainties associated with resource development and improve operational planning and financial forecasting. It is akin to mining's Rosetta Stone, deciphering the intricate economic narratives embedded within the geological data. The quantification of OBK's financial value has historically been a complex challenge, yet it is essential for investors and financial analysts seeking to mitigate risks and maximise returns from mining investments. IMDEX is pioneering a research initiative aimed at quantifying the Value of Information (VoI) that OBK provides. Join us this Wednesday 24th April 4pm AEST with Dave Lawie to hear how this groundbreaking work promises to transform the mining industry by offering a clear, dollar-denominated perspective on the economic benefits of strategic, information-driven decision-making.

Just in time for #idw2024. Tune in on the 29th of February to the launch of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) #miningsector standards 14. #goforthegoals #unsdgs #businessimpact #esgreporting

Benny Cohen President of KPI Mining Solutions recently spoke to Michael Allan McCrae, MBA CMA of Kitco Mining on advancing mine planning using stochastic optimization. Tune in as Benny dives into the world of stochastic mine planning and hear why he claims that KPI Mining Solutions is the "Tesla of mine planning." 👉 Watch the interview here https://bit.ly/3zObUHS #KPIMining #Stochastic #MinePlanning #MiningInnovation

Following the release of our Scoping Study Interim Report on 25/03, Non-Executive Chair Peter Lester sat down with Mining.com.au to discuss the update in more detail. ➡ https://lnkd.in/g8P9Jx8p $1AE #Uranium #Energy #mining #stocks

Curious this #idw2024 to learn more about the nexus between #sustainability, #sustainabledevelopmentgoals and #corporatereporting? #savethedate for the Launch of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 14 (#miningsector 2024). GRI 14: Mining Sector 2024 – the first global reporting standard to holistically address the sustainability impacts from mining is now available. The Standard reflects broad stakeholder demands for transparency and enables any mining company to use a common set of metrics to report their impacts. The Mining Standard is the fourth addition to GRI’s Sector Standard series, prioritized based on their impacts on the environment, economy and people. Sector Standards describe the sustainability context for a sector and outline likely material topics based on the sector’s most significant impacts. #registertoday

It is important to highlight that DSM can also negatively affect carbon sequestration and large deep-ocean carbon sinks. When sea beds are disturbed, they can release significant amounts of carbon stored in the sediment into the water.

🌎 Ahead of the #PDAC2024 Convention in Toronto, Ian Mitchell, leader of our global Mining Group, appeared on BNN Bloomberg's The Close to discuss the current state of critical mineral mining in Canada. 🎙 The discussion focused on whether the sector was well-positioned to meet the demands of the country’s aggressive #EV targets, while also remaining competitive on the world stage. According to Ian, Canada needs to move quickly if it's to stay ahead of the competition, and effective cooperation is an essential ingredient in this regard.
