Base Minerals Webinar: Nickel - Devil's Metal in Demand

The third installment in the SEG 2023 Base Metals Webinar Series will provide geoscientists with an open forum for interaction with prominent industry and academic experts as they discuss the significance of nickel exploration and the increasingly critical role that it plays during the energy transition. While many analysts are forecasting a surplus of nickel supply over the short term, demand for the commodity will likely outpace supply by the end of the 2020s, eventually creating a supply and demand gap that will lead to a deficit in the metal. Given these interests, there's a need for the next generation of geologists to better understand the full scope of the metal's value chain and exploration potential.
This webinar of focused mini-lectures will allow experts to share their knowledge on a variety of relevant themes, such as investigating nickel with regards to the latest regional and global market trends, modern exploration highlights and frontiers, and significant advances coming from within academia. Following the lectures, a panel discussion will offer conversations on a wide range of key concepts and allow the panelists to bring their unique perspectives to the table.

I understand that the importance of Geochemistry may decrease if the mineral deposits are covered with a thick layer. However, I would like to know if we could utilize the MMI and SGH survey as exploration tools. If yes, could you please guide me on how effectively we can use them to locate the mineralization?
