Mineral Exploration Roundup 2009 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. It features the results of geological mapping, economic geology studies and new ideas, new technologies, and access to geoscience databases. Government and university related database systems and information, such as those found on the MapPlace.ca and other geoscience sites, are available live.

This session is particularly designed for one-on-one discussions and information exchange with those geoscientists most familiar with the geology and working within your area of interest. There will be posters presenting geophysical and geochemical surveys from across the Cordillera, including: bedrock and surficial geoscience surveys in central British Columbia within the Mountain Pine Beetle impacted zone; geological mapping surveys from Terrace, Northern Vancouver Island, and many parts of southern British Columbia (e.g. Quesnel Arc, Kootenays, Purcell Basin, Greenwood), southern Yukon (e.g. LaBiche, Kluane, and Windy McKinley Terrane) and western NWT (Mt. Eduni); research on a wide variety of deposit types across the highly varied geology of the Cordillera.

Projects of the BC Geological Survey, Geological Survey of Canada, and Geoscience BC are the main attraction as well as research results from numerous university researchers, particularly students. Posters related to the Yukon, from the Yukon Geological Survey will be displayed in the Yukon Room. The main focus of the poster session is the Canadian Cordillera but topics of national and international interest are included as space allows.

Students are invited and encouraged to submit poster presentations for display. Student Prizes will be awarded. 

*More information on submission guidelines will be posted soon.
