The Queensland Branches of the
Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Geological Society of Australia present

NEW ENGLAND FIELD CONFERENCE

Saturday 6th June 2015 – Monday 8th June 2015

The New England Orogen , the most eastern part of the continent is a fertile section of NSW and QLD for a variety of mineral deposits, varying from base and precious metals to building stones and industrial minerals. Significant advances in the understanding of the Orogen have been made in recent times and the Field Conference aims to present an in situ review of the knowledge.

Sites are drawn from a variety of industrial minerals, base and precious metals deposits and building stones deposits. In addition, selected geological outcrops, granites, breccias and fossil locations will be visited.

The Field Conference will be preceded by a full day seminar in Brisbane on the New England Orogen highlighting advances in the knowledge of the geology, tectonics and economic geology of the area (see separate flyer).
