“the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes” – Marcel Proust.
For the most part I believe that mineral exploration is a process of creative failure. But to mangle some words of wisdom wisdom of Sun Tzu to mineral exploration: exploration strategy without the right tactics is the slowest route to discovery; exploration tactics without strategy is the noise of failure. Mineral exploration, discovery and mining is pathway involving lots of science and engineering and luck. I have visited many countries and seen a lot of rocks and most importantly mineralised rocks. In my Blog I share my passion for exploration and try to remove some of the mystery. You may stumble across some insights and interesting ideas embedded in my observations. If not I hope you still enjoy the stories and the magpie’s snippets of information.
