Mining Geology and Earth Resource Engineering
Economic geologists have played a pivotal role in the discovery and routine mine planning of most of the world’s superlative ore deposits. Africa is host to many of these deposits, which include the palaeo-placer ‘reefs’ of the Witwatersrand Goldfields, the layered platinum group and chromite seams of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, the strata-bound copper-cobalt deposits of the Copper Belt Province of Central Africa, the Archaean vein-type, greenstone, gold deposits of Zimbabwe and the kimberlite and associated alluvial diamond deposits of southern Africa.
The “Mine Geology and Earth Resource Engineering” theme aims to showcase these and many of the other, major ore bodies in Africa and elsewhere in the world. To succeed in this endeavour, your participation as a presenter of whichever aspect of mining geology and earth resource engineering you believe will be pertinent to the theme, and the conference of geoscientists in general, is important.
Please note that this is preliminary and final allocations in the programme will be announced in the 5th Announcement and updated on the Website in July.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PRESENTING AUTHORS (FOR ORALS) OR AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR (FOR POSTERS) MUST BE REGISTERED FOR THE MEETING BY 31 MAY 2016 IN ORDER TO HAVE THE ABSTRACT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAMME.
