Dear all,
Just to say a belated THANKS to Adrian and his team for organising this years
MDSG in Glasgow. The conference was well run as always and had an
excellent programme, including a fantastic conference meal at the Glasgow
City Chambers.
Special thanks are of course due to all of the sponsoring companies who
provided funds to enable the meeting to occur and to continue the tradition of
providing a generous bursary for students to attend.
The winners of the various industry sponsored prizes this year are below:
Anglo American Best Student Poster award
ISAAC CORRAL (Universitat Auṭnoma de Barcelona) - The “Cerro Quema” High
Sulfidation gold deposit (Azuero Peninsula, Panama).

RYAN BARTLETT (MGeol, Leicester University) - The geochemistry and

The latest MDSG committee was elected as follows:
