Community Resource Thread
Let’s build a community-powered resource list to help each other improve our geoscience workflows.
What’s ONE resource that has helped you improve your work?
(course, blog, YouTube video, internal guide, article - anything!)
Drop your recommendation in the comments + a quick note on why it’s useful
When you share, let us know your area of work (Mining, Civil, Energy, or Environmental)
🎁 Top contributor will be eligible to win a gift voucher
(we’ll pick a few of the most helpful and practical recommendations!)
We’ll also compile the best ones into a shared community resource list for everyone to use!

If I'm ever hazy on a particular geostatiscal concept or looking for more information, the website Geostatistics Lessons has all kinds of content to help or take deeper dives into what you already understand.

Hi, for mine resource geology I recommend the following:
The podcast Measured by Rene from RSC is always informative, #5 featuring Mike Stewart is a good start:
I always have at least one textbook by Jacqui Coombes within arm's reach:
Geohug has some great explainer videos on youtube:

I've always lived very much on the technical end of the mining world, but over the years have started to better understand the financial and economic structure of where we work. The two resources I found exceptionally useful are Mining Stock Education, especially their podcast, which covers market updates and trends, but also has deep dives into specific commodities, mining methods and their implications, and jurisdictions. Great guests and very informative.
I also get immense value from the Mining Hub daily emails which aggregate news releases, and their online map which both shows you which properties have releases, but also lets you browse the tenement in an area, learn who owns it, and see their recent press releases and relevant company info.
I also want to give a shout out to my friend Scott Briscoes ongoing podcast series, The Discovery Files, where he brings in various industry experts to talk about their experience in the world of exploration.

This list is already good! +1 for GeostatsGuy, Geostatistics Lessons, and MiningHub mentioned above! I would add that LazyModellingCrew.com has multiple blog posts that are kind of fun to read and also quite informative for the geostats-curious.
It's kind of silly, since I work here and this might be an obvious recommendation, but probably my most commonly referenced pages are the Leapfrog Help pages. There's such good detail in there for anyone wanting a more in-depth description of how the software works, what different settings mean, and what different features in Leapfrog do. I specifically lurk the Leapfrog pages, but there are numerous help pages depending on the tool you're using:👉️ Seequent Product Help: Available on demand, anytime, anywhere 👈️
