The 5th Biennial meeting of the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits and the 10th Quadrennial meeting of the International Association on the Genesis of Ore Deposits will be held jointly in London this year. Dates and venue: 22-25 August,1999, Natural History Museum/Imperial College, South Kensington, London, UK The meeting focuses on science and technology applied to mineral formation and breakdown, mineral processing and environmental problems. Deadlines: Feb 15th Extended Abstracts April 15th Revised Extended Abstracts ------------------------------ Topics for discussion in the scientific sessions or workshops: Environmental aspects of mineral deposits Fluid inclusions and ore formation processes Organics in the formation and remediation of mineral deposits Ore-bearing granitic systems: anatomy and magmatic-hydrothermal evolution Volcanism and mineralization: terrestrial and submarine Ore-forming processes associated with mafic, ultramafic and alkaline rocks, carbonatites, and kimberlites Sediment-hosted mineral deposits Metamorphism and ore formation Processes of formation and geology of industrial mineral deposits Technological advances in mineral processing Timing of ore processes, palaeoenvironmental change and geochronology Applying thermodynamic models to understanding ore deposits Mineralogy and paragenesis of ores -------------------------- For more information and a copy of the 2nd circular, visit the meeting web-site: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/mineralogy/course/sga.htm or to receive a copy of the 2nd circular by mail contact: Dr C J Stanley (SGA-IAGOD), Department of Mineralogy, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, LONDON, SW7 5BD, United Kingdom.
