Mini-symposium - The Big Bang:

Understanding Magmatic Controls of Mineral Deposits

The TGDG is pleased to present a mini-symposium discussing the controls on magmatic mineral deposits.

The mini-symposium brings together current ideas and recent work related to the core controls of individual ore deposits and mineralizing systems. The three deposit types covered in the mini-symposium remain the focus of mining and exploration in Canada.

Experts in each of the three deposit types will specifically address how magmatism influences the architecture of the mineralizing systems and to what extent magmas are the direct source of metal in the deposits. A more applied perspective will also be presented in this mini-symposium by exploration geologists who have integrated and evolved these academic ideas through their own work.

The event will be proceeded by networking and refreshments. Please see event details below (or download the mini-symposium flyer).

REGISTRATION - REDUCED RATES!!!

Pre-registration is required. The TGDG is happy offer the following discounted rates:

$50 - TGDG members
