Title: GAC/MAC/AGU/CGU Meeting
Location: McGill University | Montréal, QC, Canada
Website: Register Online
Geology of Granite-Greenstone Terranes and Their Mineral Deposits Course
Granite-greenstone terranes are remnants of once larger tracts of metavolcanic, metaplutonic, and metasedimentary rocks now surrounded and/or intruded by granitoid rocks of similar absolute age. They are important sources of gold, zinc, copper, nickel, and other commodities. The course will provide an overview of geological principles and tools needed to work effectively in this setting, with examples from Precambrian shields and younger accretionary orogens. The recognition, in outcrop and drill core, of volcanic, sedimentary, and plutonic protoliths that have been altered, metamorphosed, and deformed is a recurring practical problem; the application of basic field criteria along with supporting data will be used to establish a framework for mineral exploration. Descriptions of the main types of mineral deposits found in this setting will be augmented by a discussion of exploration guidelines.
The two-day course will consist of eight two-hour modules and is aimed at those who plan to work in such terranes, including young professionals and students, as well as managers who possess some geological background.

Title: GSN 2015 Symposium
Location: John Ascuaga's Nugget Hotel & Casino |
Sparks, NV, USA
Website: www.gsnv.org/symposium Geological Society of Nevada's 2015 Symposium: New Concepts and Discoveries. Even as much as the world has become available for exploration over the past decade, miners continue to return to Nevada. Why? Political stability, transparent regulatory environment, good infrastructure and great geological potential. Miners return to focus on Nevada's geology and its important mineral deposit types: Carlin, epithermal and intrusion-related gold and silver, as well as other deposit types (porphyry Cu and Mo, IOCG and industrial materials) are also rising in importance.
