"I've taken Gy's Sampling Theory further... and finished it off"

Measured is RSC’s brand-new podcast series, with RSC Managing Director and Principal Consultant René Sterk conversing with a range of industry personalities. Expect a range of talking points, many with a technical theme, but also some of our industry friends sharing anecdotes about their career in the mineral exploration and mining sector and thoughts on some of the issues the industry faces.

This week René chats to Dr Geoff Lyman, author of "Theory and Practice of Particulate Sampling". Geoff and René discuss Geoff's background, Gy's Sampling Theory, the role of sampling conferences in 2022, and a wide array of other topics. 

Please enjoy, don't forget to follow RSC on all our social media platforms!
