How to Read Drill Core (Even If You’re Not a Geologist)

SPONSORED CONTENT!

If you’ve ever looked at drill core photos and thought “neat rocks, zero clue,” this episode is for you. Recorded at AME Round Up 2026 in Vancouver, this is a practical, no-mysticism walkthrough on how to think about drill core without pretending you’re a structural geologist after three Twitter threads.

We start with Brent Cook (Exploration Insights) on what matters when you’re looking at core and trying not to get hypnotized by shiny bits. Then we get into real company examples with Dustin Perry of Kingfisher Metals and Neil Prowse from American Eagle Gold. Because the only thing more expensive than drilling is misunderstanding what you drilled.
