I'm in #Busan for #IGC2024, and we'll be showcasing all things Scottish for the @IGC2028Glasgow bid. Plus I'll be giving a couple of talks on #lithium and representing @BritGeoSurvey at various meetings. A busy week ahead!

Last week a @BritGeoSurvey team had an excellent visit to Luanda, #Angola, arranged by @ukinangola. We met with a variety of stakeholders, focusing on issues around sustainability, resources and geohazards along the Lobito Corridor.

Great news that there is such a significant resource estimate for #rareearths in the Fen Complex. Of course this is not a 'discovery' - our @NGUgeology colleagues have been studying it for years.
Norway hosts the largest known deposit of rare earth elements in Europe. "Now, we have figures showing that the Fen Complex is indeed Europe’s largest known REE deposit", says Henrik Schiellerup, NGU's Director of Resources and Environment. ngu.no/en/nyheter/norway-hos…

It has been a superb week in #Assynt in the Northwest Highlands looking at some classic alkaline rocks and #Lewisian geology (and getting very wet feet). Thanks @owenmweller for organising!
