SEG looks forward to Mining Month 2026 - watch for details in the spring.
SEG wound up its Mining Month 2025 events with two Stump the Geologist sessions at the Smithers Farmers Market. We also led the annual Mining Month luncheon and public/student session, with a committee from the Town of Smithers, several exploration companies and supply companies and the Smithers District Chamber of Commerce. Thanks for all the enthusiasm and for the financial support from the Mining Association of BC which leads Mining Month across the province.
