Rock Talk 2019 February 20 and 21 Smithers

Rock Talk 2019 in Smithers is bringing together some of the names that have contributed to making northwest BC one of the most important mining camps in BC.

February 20: Dig into Babine-Nechako mineralized belts with regional experts Tom Richards and Don MacIntyre
February 21: Map the Golden Triangle with JoAnne Nelson and then drill down into GT Gold’s Saddle discoveries with Charlie Greig
February 21: Sample other exciting exploration projects in northern BC

All of this expertise will be presented with access to SEG's fabulous collection of Cordilleran Rock Suites. Tom, Don, JoAnne and Charlie bring it all home in two not-to-be-missed workshops with rocks, core and maps.

As an added bonus before the actual presentations begin, SEG is offering one-on-one time with two of the geologists who laid the foundations of the SEG rock suites. Tom and Don have generously offered the opportunity to go through the rocks with folks who show up on Wednesday morning February 20 at 10 am. 

And the price for all of this?  For $100 you get two workshops, updates on key northern BC projects, all lunches and coffee breaks, two receptions, new SEG cap and all the rocks you want to look at.  Check the brochure for preliminary program details.

AME contract RFPs Deadline February 8
