Issue #2 of my newsletter drops next Wednesday! 🛠️ 🍌 So excited after seeing how much interest the first issue got - WAYY more than I anticipated. I'll leave most of it as a surprise, but if you've ever wondered whether bananas actually bring bad luck on a drill rig... yeah, we're going there. 🍌 Click here to subscribe: https://lnkd.in/gr73bMhr #DrillBitsNPieces #Newsletter #MiningTech #CorePlan

Victor's writing for the geos. Kim's writing for the drillers. And edition 2 drops next Tuesday and Wednesday 📬 👀 Field Notes is for the geos who'd rather be in the field than stuck reconciling spreadsheets. Drill Bits 'n' Pieces is for the ops managers who want their rigs turning and their admin sorted. Want in? Now's the time to get on the list 👉 https://lnkd.in/gV5QkkwV #CorePlan #Newsletter #FreeTheGeos #DrillEmFillEmBillEm

Issue #2 of my newsletter Field Notes is out next Tuesday. Won't give too much away, but this issue gets into something I've been thinking about for a while. How things can change between a perfectly planned drill program and what actually happens once it's live in the field. If that's something you've been through, it's probably worth a read.

I’ve started a newsletter called Field Notes where it’s mainly for geos and mining teams running drilling programs, especially if you’ve ever found yourself chasing the same data across different spreadsheets and wondering how it somehow ended up like that. These are just things I keep noticing. What’s working, what’s breaking, and the bits of geology and drilling that still grind my gears more than they probably should. Some of it’s small stuff but it adds up and most of is the kind of thing people only really talk about on site, or when you're offline and someone finally says what they actually think. It’s not a place to sell anything. Just some observations, a few opinions and things that might make your life a bit easier (or at least feel familiar). First issue goes out next week.

Two new newsletters are about to drop - and neither will be boring 😉 In Drill Bits ‘n’ Pieces, Kim Wong's getting into rig performance, smoother workflows, and what actually makes a drilling operation run tighter. And in Field Notes, Victor Cha (ex-geo, still field-smart) digs into what’s working, what’s breaking, and the lessons geos swap when the WiFi’s out. If you’re in mining or drilling, you’ll want these landing in your inbox each month. The first issues drop next week. 👉 Jump on the list before they hit: https://hubs.ly/Q049-0NV0 #CorePlan #FieldNotes #DrillBitsNPieces #Newsletter

I’m starting a newsletter called Drill Bits ‘n’ Pieces! I’ve been in the drilling industry for a while now, both on site and behind the scenes. And a word I’d use to describe the people in it, is “persevering”. Because most of the time, drilling is nothing like how it’s supposed to look. Unexpected roadblocks are the norm. Info turns up late or not at all, plans shift halfway through, and a lot of decisions get made on the fly with whatever data you’ve got at the time. Some jobs still run well, some don’t, and it’s usually not for the reasons people like to point to. After a while you start to notice the same things coming up. The small stuff that gets brushed off until it isn’t small anymore, the workarounds everyone relies on but no one really talks about, and the calls that quietly decide whether a job goes alright or becomes a bit of a mess. But at the end of the day, the persevering attitude wins, the drive to cut through the chaos and “just drill”. Anyway, this is just a place to write that kind of stuff down as I see it. First issue’s out next week! If you’re in it and want to follow along, you can sign up here: https://hubs.ly/Q049ZzvR0
