In this episode, we chat to Tanya Matveeva, an experienced exploration geologist in many commodities around the world, working in countries such as Russia, Canada, Kazakhstan, Rwanda, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Cameroon and Australia. Tanya is passionate about understanding the inner workings of the mining industry, and interested in disruptive ways of changing mining for the better.

Rachael’s primary passion is Blockchain and we discuss its many intricacies, how can it improve the mining industry, and the benefits can be to mining companies. We talk about how the properties of blockchain technology make it applicable to mining, and what processes in mining can be improved through using blockchain technology.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Data management plays a huge role in exploration geology. Effective data storage allows for better analysis into things such as correlation and forecasting.
• Blockchain properties differ wildly from traditional databases. They are built around distributed ledgers, shared throughout the entire network.
• In a public blockchain, all the players have total access to all the information in the ledger. In a private blockchain, the rules about who gets what information are established at the outset by the players involved.
• Blockchain technology will eventually change the way the world works. At present, its potential is largely unrecognised, but Tanya likens this adoption to the birth of the internet itself. We need to recognise the future unlimited potential.
• The oil and gas have been quicker on the uptake when it comes to blockchain. This is because oil and gas is a more tightly-integrated industry, and so any generational changes are adopted at a much speedier rate.

BEST MOMENTS

’The power of a good database is very exciting to me’

‘Wherever we have multiple players, blockchain has a place’

‘Eventually the technology will penetrate everywhere’

’There is an incredible exchange of information and experience'
