APGO COURSE: THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATION - TORONTO
2018-09-19 08:30 - 16:30 (America/Toronto) | Bond Place Hotel, Piccadilly Room, 65 Dundas St East, Toronto, Ontario, M5B 2G8, Canada
The APGO is hosting RPA to give this one day course on September 19. This course was sold out and very highly reviewed when given in a slightly expanded form at the PDAC earlier this year.
Five specialists from RPA will outline the key components and important considerations for mineral resource estimation, so that the target audience, exploration and mining geologists, can incorporate these learnings into their work.
The course proceeds from the drill hole database through to classification and reporting, and includes useful exercises to complement the learning outcomes.

15th Quadrennial Symposium of the International Association on the Genesis of Ore Deposits (IAGOD)
2018-08-28 08:00 - 2018-08-31 17:00 (America/Toronto) | Salta Convention Center, Av. Paraguay 2900, 4400 Salta, Argentina, Salta, Argentina
“Ore Deposits: providing resources for present and future generations”
It is worthy to highlight that this is the first time for Argentina to host such an important meeting. South America, particularly the Andean region that includes some of the richest metallogenic provinces in the world, such as the richest Cu-Mo province, one of the most extensive and rich Sn and Ag belts, one of the richest Sb belts, the most important concentrations of Li in salars, and one of the richest borates provinces. Also it hosts some of the largest individual ore deposits such as Cerro Rico de Potosí, Llallagua, Chuquicamata and El Teniente mines. South America offers excellent geology hosting world class mineral deposits covering the past 2 billion years of Earth’s metallogenic history, encompassing almost every conceivable metallogenic process.
Thus the region offers something that will tempt every economic geologist and metallogenist. The diversity of the geology, mineral resources, and local population invite the world to investigate and discuss our science and enjoy Argentina’s renowned hospitality. The chance for Argentina to host this important meeting is a unique opportunity to help create an extraordinary environment for the presentation and exchange of knowledge and research results on the genesis of mineral deposits.
It will also give an invaluable occasion for local scientists to expand upon their training in various aspects related to metallogeny and research tools. The Argentine bid commits to enhance the participation in the IAGOD Symposium of young geoscientists, students, and delegates from less advantaged countries from around the globe. The commitments from the Geological Survey of Argentina and the Geological Association of Argentina, the support from the Ibero-American Geological and Mining Survey Association, as well as from the private natural resources sector, guarantee a successful 15th Quadrennial IAGOD Symposium.
There are five field trips planned. Trips are organized in order to visit world class deposits of metals (Ag, Sn, Cu) and nonmetals (B, Li), as well as having the opportunity to discover the cultural aspects of the region and their inhabitants, involving mines from Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile.

WMMI Speakers’ Bureau Lecture with Daniel Kile
2018-06-12 19:00 - 21:30 (America/Toronto) | Western Museum of Mining & Industry, Colorado Springs, CO, 80921, United States
Introduction to Ore Microscopy
Ever since ore minerals have been mined, there has been a need to identify them and discern their chemistry and associations. This information is essential to the mining industry to assess the value of the ore, and to determine the most efficient means of concentrating the mineral of economic interest. This lecture will highlight some of the important observations and corresponding properties that can be evaluated with an ore microscope, and give an overview of the basic equipment required to do so.
The reflected light/ore microscope used for ore microscopy was developed in the 1920s. In contrast to a transmitted light microscope that is used to examine rock thin sections, an ore microscope utilizes vertically incident light to examine the metallic, opaque minerals that are of economic importance. Optical properties of reflectance, bireflectance, and anisotropism, as well as physical properties of cleavage, twinning, internal reflections, and hardness, as can be observed in an ore microscope, will be summarized in this lecture, in addition to a discussion and demonstration of some of the required equipment.
Despite the advent of X-ray diffraction and microbeam techniques to determine quantitative chemistry, the utility of the ore microscope has not been rendered obsolete. Interpretation of replacement and weathering processes, textures, and intergrowths can significantly affect the outcome of ore beneficiation – and only visual observation with polarized–reflected light can provide that information.
This will be a one-to-two hour lecture, and will assume a basic knowledge of mineralogy.
Lecture Outline:
The ore microscope: Construction, light path
Reflected light: Incident/bright field vs. oblique/dark field illumination
Polarized light: Plane and crossed polars
Ore mounts & ore leveling press
Basic Properties: Color, reflectance, hardness
Optical Properties: Observations in plane polarized light (bireflectance, cleavage); observations in partly crossed polarized light (anisotropism, twinning, internal reflections)
General Observations: Weathering/alteration, replacement, exsolution, deformation
Mineral groups: Native elements, sulfides, sulfosalts, oxides, arsenides
Resources for ore mineral identification: Texts, charts
