2014 roundup preview exploration budgets and technical depth make major companies better explorers, or do aggressive strategies carried out by nimble junior companies yield better success? Are exploration teams more valuable than mavericks? Is it science or serendipity that gets results? Are mistakes consistently made during the exploration process? This session will explore the processes of exploration success using a series of discovery case histories to emphasize the benefits of different exploration strategies. Public Geoscience: A Resource for You Tuesday, January 28 (morning) Public geoscience programs provide an important foundation for developing new concepts and knowledge of geology and mineral potential. In the Canadian Cordillera, publicly funded studies are conducted by geoscientists from the BC Geological Survey, the Yukon Geological Survey, Geoscience BC and the Geological Survey of Canada. Their work, which includes bedrock and surficial mapping initiatives, interpretations of geophysical and geochemical datasets and metallogenic syntheses, encourages new mineral exploration activity and helps in the successful targeting of minerals-related investments. In this session, talks will highlight results from recent and ongoing projects that are of interest to the mineral exploration sector, and provide information on how to access new data and information. British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska: Mineral Exploration and Mining Highlights Tuesday, January 28 (afternoon) The Cordillera of British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska is host to a wide diversity of deposit types including a number of worldclass ore bodies. It continues to attract significant mineral investment, particularly in exploration for gold (epithermal, 70 p40-77_roundup.indd 70 Pottinger Gaherty Enviro.indd 1 w i n t e r 2 013 13-03-19 10:47 AM 13-11-27 10:09 am
