MEGA-LOL! Thanks for the wee Lustrum awardie @Summerhallery - this one’s for the last 10,000 years. Catch us next week in Exeter (6th Sep) & Frome (7th Sep).
#SEG2022 in Denver has started, and some great conversations about @NHM_Science and @NERCscience @FAMOS_ores are already being enjoyed. Couldn't stop talking even though the welcome reception had finished 😂
In Edinburgh to watch @MechAnimalCo and their #megalith show. Looking forward to seeing the @FAMOS_ores project get some techno beats! #vamosFAMOS!
Just arrived In Denver for SEG2022 - Looking forward to presenting outcomes from the @NERCscience @FAMOS_ores project! @NHM_Science @ESEImperial #VamosFAMOS
While the mines at Strontian are mostly known for their production of lead, the mineral baryte (BaSO₄) was mined there briefly in the 80’s. At its peak the baryte mine was producing 700 tonnes of ore per week! #MineralMonday #Min2022 #ScottishGeology
The mantle’s “Goldilocks Zone” is just right for the upward movement of metals critical for renewable technologies. New research from @DrDaveHolwell @uniofleicester, input from Jamie Wilkinson @FAMOS_ores, story by @KateWheeling. eos.org/articles/the-g…
🌟New PhD PROJECT!🌟 How stressed did the western USA have to be to form #copper? 🤔 Find out with me, @LamontsterTN1, @conall_macn, Simon Tapster, @nickmwroberts & @adgoreck with support from @bhp! Full details at bit.ly/3HDJ2RP 🌎🏜️🧲🌵☀️@bristolpcd @UoBEarthScience
Exciting new research coming out of FAMOS! Amazing work by @DrDaveHolwell et al. #sulfides #Copper #metal #VamosFAMOS
Great to see Chetan Nathwani's latest paper on machine learning for porphyry fertility ssessment is now published full open access in Mineralium Deposita! #VamosFAMOS link.springer.com/article/10.100… @FAMOS_ores @NHM_Science @ESEImperial
We are excited to bring to you our upcoming event, in partnership with Ore Deposits Hub! Ireland: Mineral Potential of the Emerald Isle - A collaborative innititive between IAEG and ODH. Save the date for this free, online conference on 13-14th October! More info in late summer!
🚨 New pre-print by @l_c_carter, #VamosFAMOS collaborators and others.

Really interesting paper on the sources of sulphur in arc magmas by @mjmuth. Looking forward to the sequel! 🤓
FAMOS member @RJHNHM highlights the need for responsible mining (including #Copper) for a green future in Nature Reviews Materials. Also picked up by @BBCAmos. 🧪⚒️🌲 #VamosFAMOS nature.com/articles/s4157… bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
Oxidised magmas were able to form porphyry deposits, already in the Precambrian. 🚨 Great work by @XuyangM and co-workers including FAMOS collaborator Simon Tapster @BritGeoSurvey. Amazing data-set using multiple analytically challenging techniques! #Porphyry #fO2 #ZAp

Interesting new paper on porphyry-forming magmatic systems! 🚨 Looks like something for zircon afficionados. Could be a good Easter read.

Some really interesting studies coming out this week. 🚨 Here from @CyrilChelleM and @BrianTattitch on the behaviour of Cl in crustal Magmas! Key for understanding #PCD formation. #juicy
New FAMOS paper out by @l_c_carter et al. ! 🚨 Aplites can act as porphyry fluid pathways. Cool stuff. #VamosFAMOS
