Night Monday, January 26 Beer and Sandwich Lunch Wednesday, January 28 Included with Full Delegate registration. Technical Sessions Official Opening Ceremonies and 2014 Regional Reviews Monday, January 26 | Morning In addition to the opening ceremonies, this session will provide regional annual overviews from B.C. and Yukon as well as regional overviews from two other active exploration areas. This year's overviews will focus on the advancements of new and previously known discoveries, and the knowledge progression of deposit and regional geological models within the highlighted areas. Exploring for the Next Giant Discovery: Giant Ore Deposits and What They Can Teach Us Monday, January 26 | Afternoon Discovery and development of a world- class ore deposit is the goal of all explor- ers. These deposits form from a unique conf luence of factors that are rarely repeated and that allow them to stand out as giant ore deposits. They are usu- ally atypical and form distinct end mem- bers within their specific deposit model. Although giant ore deposits can be very difficult to find, they can provide impor- tant criteria to help guide future explo- ration. This session will examine the specific characteristics that produced five giant ore deposits. Presentations will highlight the stratigraphic and structural controls, combined with the geochemi- cal and geophysical attributes, to define criteria that will help explorers seek out second- and third-tier mineral deposits in analogous terrains. The range of deposit types include Archean-hosted orogenic gold, Carlin gold, porphyry copper and volcanogenic massive sulphide. Join us to learn more about these important depos- its and how they can help direct and focus future exploration. Public Geoscience: A Resource for You Tuesday, January 27 | Morning Public geoscience provides fundamental knowledge of the geology framework necessary to identify areas with high
