The first Tech Talk is titled “Heavy Mineral Sampling in the Arabian Shield: The search for Ophir”. Peter Ogryzlo draws on his years of exploration work in Yemen with this Biblical quotation: "And she (Sheba) gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold..." 1 Kings 10. The king is Solomon. A talent is around 30 kg. The gift was around 3.6 tonnes of gold or 116,000 ounces. This would take around 100 camels.”
Sounds intriguing.
There is no charge for this event.
