Earlier this week, some of our members joined Cardiff SEG Student Chapter alongside members from SEG Student Chapter TU Bergakademie Freiberg on a trip to Cornwall where they visited a number of mines, local outcrops and areas significant to economic geology.

Virtual lecture with Grace Howe of SRK Exploration and Women in Mining taking place this Monday at 2PM on Zoom! Grace will be talking a little about her career as an exploration geologist and the skills you will need and develop in your career.

Chapter members can find the link to join the Zoom in your emails. If you’re interested in joining us and you’re not signed up to our mailing list, you can send us a message here for the link.

Dear all,

Please join us next Friday as Mark Howson delivers “Practical Aspects of Mining Geology”. Mark will also be sharing case studies from his time in the field to demonstrate why mining geologists must always demonstrate good practice - especially when things go wrong!

Find us in G8 from 13:00! Pizza provided as always.

Dear all,

Please join us next Monday as we welcome our AEGIS professor Dr John Thompson for the next instalment of this years lecture series titled “Exploration and Mining - A World of Change”.

John's upcoming talk will look at how developments in geoscience, models and exploration tools over the last century have shaped how we understand and look for mineral deposits.

Find us in G8 from 12:30 next Monday.

There’ll be pizza as always!

Dear all,

Please join us next Wednesday as our chapter welcomes Anne Thompson in the next instalment of this year's lecture series titled “The Bre-X fraud – impact on geoscience in exploration”.

The story of the Busang ‘Gold Deposit’ fraud unravelled exactly 25 years ago. Missing in the hype at the time were key geological observations. Anne will discuss her experience as a consultant working for Bre-X at a time when there were no processes for addressing concerns or reporting discrepancies, and how the events of that day changed the course of procedure in industry forever.

Anne will demonstrate how quality geoscience is critical to investor confidence and a responsible mining industry, and how we can integrate this in our own practises as we venture into industry.

Don’t miss it - find us next Wednesday at 2pm in G7. There will be pizza too!
