> Dear Colleague,
>
> WINDHOEK GEOLOGICAL CONFERENCE 2002
>
> Through our First Circular and Call for papers and/or our Web-site:
> http://www.geoconference2002.com you are now probably aware of our
> international geological conference: "Sedimentary, Magmatic and
Ore-Forming
> Responses to Compressional and Extensional Tectonics: A Focus on Africa",
> which is to be held from 22 - 26 July 2002 in Windhoek, Namibia.
>
> Because of the encouraging responses from potential delegates and
sponsors,
> and to take into account the changes in the N$/US$ exchange rate, most
> conference fees have been significantly reduced, e.g. for members of
> hosting and sponsoring societies the "early bird" delegate fee (until 31
> March 2002) has been reduced to US$ 325 (international) or NS$2700
> (residents of SADC countries). The fee covers coffee, tea and lunches
> during the conference, and the Icebreaker reception and Namibian evening.
> Please consult our Web-site for details.
>
> The conference incorporates the 11th Quadrennial Symposium of the
> International Association on the Genesis of Ore Deposits (IAGOD) and
> GEOCONGRESS 2002 of the Geological Society of South Africa, and is hosted
> by the Geological Societies of Namibia, South Africa and Zambia. The
> conference is as much sedimentary, magmatic and tectonic as it is
economic.
> Besides creating a platform for the exchange of the latest geological
> research results, the conference provides also exposure to mining
> investment opportunities in the Southern African region. An exhibition
> allows the presentation of investment opportunities, and services and
goods
> for the mining industry. Various workshops and/or short courses and a
wide
> selection of geological excursions are also being offered. The conference
> is sponsored by the Geological Survey of Namibia, the Council for
> Geoscience of South Africa, IUGS/UNESCO, The Society of Economic
Geologists
> (SEG) and The Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits (SGA).
>
> By returning the Provisional Registration form contained in the First
> Circular you will ensure that you receive the Final announcement with full
> details on the conference which is presently being finalised. You can
also
> register via our Web-site.
>
> The Final announcement contains full details on the conference including
> details on our invited speakers:
>
> - our Keynote speakers: Dr. Richard Sillitoe, Consulting Geologist, UK,
> "Iron oxide-copper-gold deposits an Andean perspective", and Prof. Ross

> "Stratiform Sediment Hosted Zn-Pb-Ag Deposits: Ore deposit Models and
> Exploration Criteria";
>
> - SEG lecturers: Dr. Steve Walters, Director GeoDiscovery Group,
Australia,

South
> Africa 2002 on "Mineralisation associated with impact structures, with
> special reference to the Vredefort-Witwatersrand system" and Dr. Erik
> Hammerbeck, President IAGOD 2002 on "Topical aspects of the geotectonic
and
> metallogenic evolution of Africa"; and

> University of the Witwatersrand on "Re-uniting lost continents - fossil
> reptiles from the ancient Karoo and their wanderlust".
>
> The Technical Sessions are being re-structured to encourage an even wider
> geological range of papers, whilst the selection of Geological excursions
> is being expanded with "the Big Five" excursion - Wits Au, Karoo coal,
> Bushveld Complex (PGM & Cr), Kruger National Park, Palaborwa (Cu-P), and a
> diamond mine; a "Base metals" excursion - Pering (Pb-Zn), Sishen-Kalahari
> (Fe-Mn), Aggenys-Gamsberg (Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag), Okiep (Cu) sillimanite/alluvial
> diamonds possibly, Rosh Pinah/Scorpion (Zn-Pb-Cu), Fish River Canyon (?)
> and Haib Cu (?); a "Diamond Special" excursion - Kimberley-Barkly
> West-Orange River-Kleinsee/Alexander Bay/Oranjemund; and a "Mines and
> mineral deposits of northern and central Namibia" excursion.
Unfortunately
> some originally offered excursions had to be withdrawn. Several Workshops
> and Short Courses are also being offered. Please consult our Web-site for
