Mineral Systems of North East Queensland
03 - 04 August 2022
EGRU is hosting a one-day workshop on the Mineral Systems of north east Queensland in Charters Towers in early August. The workshop will be followed by a one-day field trip to the Pajingo low-sulphidation epithermal gold deposit.
The workshop will bring together geoscientists from industry, research and government to:
- discuss the geology and mineralisation potential of NE Queensland,
- provide an update on some of the current exploration and mining projects, and
- consider areas where additional data and research could contribute to exploration.
It is an opportunity for explorers and researchers interested in NE Queensland to get together in a relaxed setting, share ideas and contemplate the possibilities for future discoveries.
Wednesday 03 August: One day of technical presentations from invited speakers followed by a social event in the evening.
Thursday 04 August: Field trip to the Pajingo Mine courtesy of Minjar Gold.
