Samso Insight Episode 107 is with a Andrew Drummond who is the author of two books, Rocks In Our Heads and More Rocks In Our Heads.   Andrew Drummond is a seasoned geologist who has seen and done numerous thing that can only be described in a book and on Samso Insights.   The book is a compilation of stories that showcase the extraordinary lengths which geologists are willing to go for the love of the job. This is a great insight into the thinking and the passion that makes geologist such a special breed. Geologist do what they do for the love of the adventure and the discovery.   I think this profession is the nearest profession that takes the mind into the realms of adventure. The kind of adventure that is promoted in movies such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The "Indian Jones" of the world is what these guys do. The guy sitting in the Africa, South American, Mongolian pubs after a days work is what this book brings to the everyday readers.   People today think that the guy in the office is the real geologists or the guy sitting on a drill rig logging cores. Those guys are not the ones that make these jobs available. It is the guy that goes into the heat, rain, and sometimes dangerous places that makes projects work.   The most recent story is that of Caigan Wang, the Managing Director of of Tietto Minerals Limited (ASX: TIE) whose sheer tenacity of going into the business of Africa to get the project for the company. The story of Caigan Wang is what the two books written by Andrew Drummond is all about.   If you want to have a good read about how some of these non-Australian projects work and not work, or have an understanding of the amount of work that is required, get these books and that will give you a good idea.   You get hold of these books by emailing Andrew Drummond at [email protected].     Chapters 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:29 Andrew Drummond - Introduction 02:54 The Background of Rocks In Our Heads. 05:52 The Essence of the Book. 06:24 Rob Duncan - A Chopper In Poli, Cameroon, 1975 10:03 Do the old levels of determination still exist? 11:22 Tony Gates -East Timor, 1999 14:49 Andrew on the future of the mineral exploration sector. 19:10 Rome was not Built in a Day. 22:11 The rollercoaster ride of a Geologist. 23:34 The exploration surprises. 24:14 Are there still Giant deposit to be discovered? 26:03 Where could be the next Frontier? 28:00 The Wild Card discovery of Julimar. 28:36 The Key of a Mineral System Exploration. 29:09 The Difficulty of Making a Discovery - More Rocks In Our Head. 31:05 More Rocks In Our Heads - Ore Bodies are Hard to Monetise. 33:09 The Hard stories of Real Mineral Exploration. 34:20 How do you Convince the Market you have a Good Project ? 37:26 The Opportunities of a Big Brother. 38:30 The Motivation of the Chase to Discovery 41:26 Andrew Reflection on the two books. 42:22 Conclusions
