In a Measured first, René is joined by two guests this week! René chats with Chrysos Corporation Chief Technology Officer Dr James Tickner and Technical Services Team Leader Tim Sennett about the developments and innovations being made at Chrysos, particularly the PhotonAssay.

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.

Please enjoy, and don't forget to follow RSC on all our social media platforms!
