IMGC24 Pre-Conference Field TripGold Mines of Central Victoria
The 13th International Mining Geology Conference is to be held in Perth 7-8th May and is jointly organised by AusIMM and AIG. https://www.ausimm.com/conferences-and-events/mining-geology/ As part of this event delegates are offered opportunities to attend workshops, an Industry Challenge day, a Young Professional’s day and field trips. The AIG is pleased to announce it is offering a preconference five-day field trip to operations in Central Victoria, Australia. Offered as part of the IMGC, this field trip is intended to provide an opportunity for international and local conference delegates to experience a series of focused mine site visits around the central theme of high-grade, high-nugget, narrow-vein gold mining geology. Starting and finishing in Melbourne, the 5-day tour will visit all major gold producers in the region to discuss their regional setting, local mining geology, operational practices, exploration opportunities and their approaches to wide-ranging technical challenges. The site visits will include underground tours as well as office-based discussions and drill core inspection. Operations confirmed for the tour include Costerfield, Fosterville, Stawell and Ballarat goldmines with side visits to On Site Laboratories’ Chrysos Photon Assay lab in Bendigo, the Stawell Underground Physics Lab installation and potentially Gekko’s minerals processing research lab and manufacturing plant in Ballarat. ‘GPIK’ meetings are intended along the way to meet and interact with local mining professionals and gain exposure to broader geoscience perspectives. The tour cost includes all travel ex Melbourne Airport, meals and accommodation. Baggage storage cost at the airport is included to minimise vehicle baggage on the field trip – we will be travelling light. Tour attendee numbers are limited to ensure group size is manageable for underground visits with host sites. The mix of international and local delegates will be managed to ensure the opportunity to participate is balanced with waitlisting of conference delegates as required. Registration is only open to IMGC registered delegates but will be prioritised in the order EOI and invoiced payment received.
