Spotlight On
Short Courses
Roundup's short courses are held in advance of the conference, and cover various topics of interest to the mineral
explorer. Reasonably priced, these often sell out well in
advance of the conference.
Short Course 1 •
Exploration Targeting: A Return to the Fundamentals
Friday, January 24
Presented by:
AME BC and Mike Doggett, Michael Doggett & Associates
This course will address the issues that face exploration groups
in an ever-changing and challenging global environment for the
mineral industry. These issues include fluctuating commodity
prices, the escalation in costs associated with constructing and
operating new mining projects, the capital crisis facing many
junior explorers, and the refocus of senior companies on quality rather than size of assets. The course will examine how these
topics impact the minimum tonnage grade conditions required
to justify the cost and time of discovering new economic deposits.
The characteristics of exploration targets will be considered in
the context of the set of known undeveloped deposits. Course
materials will draw on a broad range of international case studies
with emphasis placed on copper and gold examples.
