I like KoBold a lot, but this is a wild take on what has happened so far - a traditional mining exploration technique found this deposit, KoBold then brought into this as a typical cashed up midtier/large miner would and haven't r

Welcome to the world of resource and reserve calculations, where the numbers are made up and the points don't matter. It's very easy to come up with a back of the envelope calculation to say we have this much Lithium, or this much

Oh man - there's actually a much cooler version of this scenario, which is Sudbury impact crater, which was a massive Nickel deposit that was 'enriched' by the impact crater that hit it, not by adding Nickel, but by adding he

I think it's worth reading the article mate, it's talking about how they observed that satellite emissions and the effect it could have on their research and the things they do.

I think is true for >general< data science houses and firms that offer Data Science across any domain - I'm generally wary of anyone who writes about Data Science as a concept, rather than the use of Data Science to solve a parti
