Smeaton300 Heriot Watt University symposium

Our Company's founders enjoyed attending and presenting at the enlightening Smeaton300 symposium today at Heriot Watt Univeristy to celebrate 300 years since the birth of John Smeaton (1724–1792), often referred to as the "father of civil engineering".

John Smeaton's contributions to civil engineering were not limited to his technical innovations but extended to establishing the profession's foundations through scientific methods, professional standards, and collaborative efforts. His works and ideas laid the groundwork for modern civil engineering, combining theory with practical application to solve real-world problems.

PETEX2024

As a presenter at GESGB (Geoscience Energy Society of Great Britain) PETEX events since 2008, Adrok's CEO is delighted to be volunteering on the PETEX Programme Committee this year. 📣 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS - SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FRIDAY 31 MAY 2024 PETEX 2024 ‘The Future of Energy Geoscience – Tomorrows World Today’ PETEX is the largest subsurface-focused E&P conference and exhibition in the UK, now with a broader scope to include the energy transition and associated industries. This reflects our continuing need for hydrocarbon-derived energy and products, and the long heritage of the event, whilst reflecting the changing energy mix and advances in other energy sources. We welcome submissions that cover oil and gas, cross-sector technologies, innovations and geoscience applications within the energy transition and associated industries, from Early Career Professionals alongside the more experienced individuals and academics. 💻 Visit the PETEX 2024 website to find out more about the themes and to submit your abstract: https://lnkd.in/gD8jFGWC

Adrok opens ‘skunkworks’ at the home of James Clerk Maxwell’s Electromagnetics

The opening of this new Skunkworks facility in Edinburgh, Scotland (the home of James Clerk Maxwell's foundation of electromagnetics science), will allow Adrok to continue to push the boundaries of its groundbreaking radar and electromagnetic technologies through Adrok's Advanced Development Programs (AADPs). Projects will be developed inhouse and also in collaboration with external collaborators keen to better understand the Earth's subsurface to help find and delineate natural resources. The initial focus will be on pioneering ground electromagnetics for accelerating the discovery of Critical Minerals for the electrification markets. Further developments will continue on Adrok's ADP for electromagnetic technologies for the geothermal exploration market to help in the Energy Transition and the race for Net Zero. Going forward, Adrok's skunkworks motto is: "If you want to discover new things, you will either need to look in new places or try new methodologies".

Density proxy tool developed

Subsurface density can vary significantly based on the type of material (e.g., sand, clay, rock) and its condition (e.g., compacted, saturated with water). Measuring and interpreting these variations helps in numerous scientific and practical applications, as mentioned above. While our ADR technology does not measure density directly in the way geophysical surveys like gravity or seismic methods do, it can provide information from which density-related inferences might be drawn. The dielectric properties, which ADR measures, can be influenced by the material’s density, moisture content, and other physical properties. That said, we have now found a way to directly correlate our ADR measurements with subsurface density proxy measurements.

Subsurface density measurements are critical to a number of geosciences applications such as helping with: resource exploration and extraction; locating and quantifying mineral deposits; designing stable foundations for buildings and tunnels; identifying subsurface contimant plumes for environmental and groundwater studies; and monitoring soil compaction, health and fertility.

Northern Lithium takes a step closer to unlocking critical domestic source of lithium for the UK

Northern Lithium reaches an important new milestone in its programme to produce lithium in the North East of England, with the successful completion of its first exploration borehole and confirmation of the presence of economically viable concentrations of lithium in brines. Against the backdrop of rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and ongoing geopolitical instability, today’s announcement puts the UK one step closer to unlocking a secure, low-carbon source of lithium in the North East of England. Adrok are proud to be working with Northern Lithium on this project and helping take another step towards a carbon free future. https://www.northernlithium.co.uk/northern-lithium-takes-a-step-closer-to-unlocking-critical-domestic-source-of-lithium-for-the-uk/

Gensource Potash provides update on the next-stage resource confirmation work with Adrok in its Vanguard Area

With its goal to help bring potash production into the 21st century, Gensource has teamed up with Adrok Ltd. ("ADROK"), to investigate the use of their patented and exclusive Atomic Dielectric Resonance (ADR) imaging technology, for the mapping and delineation of the potash members within the Prairie Evaporite. The main aim for the project is for ADROK to deploy their ADR technology for a proof of concept survey looking at potash deposits, with the aim to establish confidence that ADR can assist Gensource's exploration and resource evaluation efforts. The project included data collection from 13 virtual boreholes ("V-bores").
