Back in Lusaka after my @BritGeoSurvey colleague Dr David Currie & I lead a 10-day #CriticalMineral field training exercise for @ZambiaMines & @CBU_ZM. Our Zambian colleagues are now prepared for when exploration opportunities arise from the aerial geophysical survey of Zambia.
Zambian #CriticalMineral field training started today, at @ZambiaMines Geo Survey Dept, also involving @CBU_ZM and lead by @BritGeoSurvey colleague Dr David Currie & me. Training today involved getting to grips with a soil auger! Great to be back in Zambia for the next few weeks.
Zambia here we come (again)! Preparing for the latest trip to Zambia with @BritGeoSurvey colleague Dr David Currie. Read more here: https://t.co/y3vN0prV8Z
