Jim Mortensen and I would like to draw your attention to the
following session that we are convening at next year's GeoCanada 2000
meeting in Calgary. We encourage everyone with research to report or
discoveries to describe in this broad field to share your findings at
this meeting.
Regards,
Jeremy Richards

Session #32: Intrusion-Related Gold Deposits of the Circum-Pacific
Sponsoring Societies: GAC
Convenors:
Jim Mortensen (University of British Columbia; [log in to unmask])

Intrusion-related gold deposits have been a major exploration target
in the circum-Pacific for many years. Regional and deposit-specific
studies over the past decade have led to the recognition of both the
great variability between deposits of this class as well as certain
features that most deposits have in common. This thematic session
will bring together researchers studying intrusion-related gold
deposits at all scales, from individual deposits to global overviews,
as well as selected presentations focusing on structural,
lithogeochemical, and fluid chemistry controls on mineralization. The
aim of the session is to highlight global similarities between
deposits of this type, as well as specific factors that affect the
exact nature of mineralization at a deposit scale. We hope the
session will provide a synthesis of our current understanding of
intrusion-related gold deposits and identify possible new exploration
strategies to aid in the search for new deposits.
