The conference opened with a casual get-together, followed by two days of presentations and receptions and ended with our annual ski day. The program ranged from epithermal deposits, porphyry deposits, regional updates, project updates, environmental, geochemical, and permitting presentations.  With more than 100 delegates there were lots of opportunities to network, do what geologists do best and cap it off by throwing some rocks...on the ice. Check out the newbie and old-timer curlers in the shot above.  A few hardy souls enjoyed a day of skiing at Hudson Bay Mountain at 20 below.

We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to Rock Talk 2024.
