The Conference
The weekend prior to Mineral Exploration Roundup 2010 holds the Short Courses. Whilst you may enjoy your weekends off school, these courses are an excellent opportunity to learn from the very best in the mineral exploration industry.
Monday to Thursday holds the Trade Show. Over 200 companies exhibit during Mineral Exploration Roundup from a variety of the industry's sectors. The Trade Show provides an excellent opportunity to find out more about the companies in the industry and a great chance to talk to their representatives. Every day is different so check back often!
The Technical Sessions this year promise to be excellent. Each day of the conference has a different theme, and the talks match that theme. Some of the very best of the Mineral Exploration community will be speaking this year, so be sure to check them out.
Poster Session
The Mineral Exploration Roundup Poster Session highlights the activity and results of public geoscience and geoscience research activities, with a particular focus on British Columbia and the Cordillera.
An important component of the poster session is the student participation and presentation of their geoscience studies. This information continues to be an interesting source of new ideas, economic models and information of use to ongoing exploration programs. Cash prizes for the three best student poster and one ticket per winning poster to the AME BC Awards Dinner, where the names and titles of the three best posters will be announced.
