Mineral Exploration

Fall 20 1 8 15 PHOTOS: OPPOSITE TOURISM VANCOUVER; THIS PAGE VELOUR PRODUCTIONSAME AME'S 36th annual Mineral Exploration Roundup conference is where leaders in mineral exploration connect. Roundup is a driving force for mineral exploration in Western Canada and the North and South American Cordillera. We look forward to bringing people together around exploration while they reconnect to explore all the elements for discovery. ELEMENTS FOR DISCOVERY This year's theme communicates all the elements, skills and activities that go into exploration, plus the elements, metals and minerals awaiting discovery. Roundup 2019 will highlight the elements necessary for successful mineral exploration and connect explorers, suppliers, financiers, innovators and Indigenous groups around a world-renowned technical geoscience program. The synergies we cultivate at Roundup will energize all of us to discover and deliver the elements needed to support our shared low-carbon future. SPEAKERS AND TECHNICAL PROGRAM Learn from technical and financial experts in the mineral exploration and development community. Explorers from around the world come together to share their latest findings, stories, successes and innovative ideas to further the exploration industry.
