Now retired, Dick Minnitt still remains one of the prominent minds in the field of geostatistics. Dick joins Rene to discuss moving forward in the sampling space, what Dick has been working on in his "retirement' and what SHOULD be done in the lab.

Measured is RSC’s podcast series, with RSC Managing Director and Principal Consultant René Sterk conversing with a range of industry personalities. Expect a range of talking points, many with a technical theme, but also some of our industry friends sharing anecdotes about their career in the mineral exploration and mining sector and thoughts on some of the issues the industry faces.
