Everyone,
We would like to inform you of the upcoming 10th SGA biennial meeting in
Townsville, Australia 17-20 August 2009. We would in particular like to
encourage you to submit papers to the following session:
Theme (B) Specific Mineral Systems
2. Sediment- and volcanic-hosted copper, zinc and lead deposits.
Rod Allen (Boliden Mineral/LTU), Jan Peter (GSC)
Sediment- and volcanic-hosted base metal deposits comprise the world's
largest economic resource of zinc, lead and silver, and are major producers
of copper, gold and cobalt. These deposits include VMS, SEDEX, Mississippi
Valley-Type, Broken Hill-Type, Sediment-hosted copper, and hybrids of these
types. This session aims to explore the characteristics of sediment-and
volcanic-hosted base metal deposits, their similarities and differences,
their setting in terms of basin evolution, and criteria for exploration.
Geoscientists are invited to submit abstracts for oral or poster
presentations on these and other interesting aspects of the geology of
sediment- and volcanic-hosted base metal deposits.
The conference web site is: http://sga2009.jcu.edu.au/
The page listing thematic sessions is at:

the deadline for abstract submission is February 16, 2009.
Best Wishes, Rodney Allen and Jan Peter
