To make a long story short, from mid July to early August I had the opurtunity to Visit Tete Province for Field Work.  GEOLOGY

Optimized Pro: New Zealand’s unique geology presents complex challenges for companies involved in earthworks and mining. As one of the world’s most geologically dynamic locations, New Zealand experiences frequent earthquakes, considerable volcanic activity, and tectonic shifts as part of the Ring of Fire. This ongoing geological activity, especially along the fault line running through the country, demands highly individualized treatment for materials and project sites. The geological contrasts across New Zealand are stark. For example, the issues faced by earthworks on the rugged West Coast of the South Island are vastly different from those on the sandy soils of the East Coast of the North Island. With active volcanoes, dramatic cliffs, glacial fjords, and diverse soil types, projects require tailored approaches to ensure safety, stability, and efficiency. Our advanced products and services, now available in New Zealand through our distribution and application partner, Instant Green, provide essential solutions for these challenges. Whether it's soil stabilization, dust control, or water management, we help companies manage and optimize their earthwork projects in some of the toughest conditions. Contact our team to learn how our solutions can benefit your projects in New Zealand. 📞 +61 7 5522 0244 | ✉️ info@rstsolutions.com.au *Photo credit: Instant Green*

2024 Exploration Program ⬇️ The 2024 exploration program will consist of systematic soil sampling, trenching, and detailed structural geology work. Figure below shows soil anomalies obtained from the 2023 exploration program. https://buff.ly/4cy8vLf $VLTA #Lithium #Canada

Tuesday Cannonball TX Panhandle Geology III (Salts!) A formation that was compelling to me at the time and then much later in my career was a formation called the Wellington Evaporite of the Hugoton Field. This evaporite sequence comprised the seal for the reportedly largest gas accumulation in North America. This sequence was deposited during the Permian when there was a vast inland sea in North America. The salt was autochthonous (fancy geology term that means “stayed in place” – aka “mother salts”). These salts are very interesting in that they commonly retain depositions of the full sequence as the water evaporates. The deposition starts with calcite and dolomites, moves to gypsums and anhydrites, then to halite, then lastly when remaining water volume gets down to less than 5% (so rarely seen) and deposits very unstable potassium and magnesium salts. I was very tuned into the anhydrites found in the Wellington as they were a calibration point for the density log at a consistent 2.98g/cc. The wells were drilled with a salt-saturated water-based drilling mud. The wellbore in the salts was commonly enlarged even so due to salt dissolution while drilling. This precluded seeing the potassium and magnesium salts (K, Mg) -if they were present. I suspect that the inland sea water content did not go down to this level during deposition since I also don’t recall hearing about drilling issues in that salt. I’ll talk further about salts outside of the TX Panhandle in my next Cannonball. A bit of an offramp, but I think it worthy. Stay tuned for further Cannonballs!

Considering becoming a Geologist in Training Any tips or references for the fundamentals of geology exam from my geology friends?
