Poster Session
(Monday, January 24th from 10 am to 5 pm)

Geoscience BC will once again have a full complement of posters at the Mineral Exploration Roundup in Vancouver. This year, Geoscience BC proponents, consultants and scholarship winners will exhibit 30 posters at the Roundup poster session, which will be held on January 24th from 10 am to 5 pm in the Westin Bayshore Ballroom.

These posters highlight much of Geoscience BC's ongoing work around the province, including:

Porphyry Integration Project
Ongoing geochemical initiatives
Joint Geoscience BC - MDRU initiatives
Quaternary geology projects in central and northwest BC
Geoscience BC's work on oil & gas issues in BC, including work in the Montney Shale Gas Play and the Nechako Basin.

The Geological Survey of Canada, BC Geological Survey and university students will also be displaying posters. The list of Geoscience BC-affiliated posters is now available through our website at: https://www.geosciencebc.com. Geoscience BC's website will be updated with PDF's of Geoscience BC-affiliated posters in early February.

Technical Session: Public Geoscience: Investing in Tomorrow's Discoveries
(Tuesday, January 25th from 8:50 am to 11:30 am)

Geoscience BC-affiliated presentations start at 9 am, and focus on ongoing geochemical and geophysical initiatives. Dave Heberlein (Heberlein Geoconsulting) will give a presentation on "The Use of Organic Media in the Search for Cu-Au Porphyry Mineralization in Drift Covered Areas of Central British Columbia" and Nigel Phillips (Mira Geoscience) will talk about "Regional 3D Inversion Modeling of Airborne Gravity, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Data in British Columbia."

The session also features talks from the BC Geological Survey, Geological Survey of Canada and the Yukon Geological Survey.

Geoscience BC Booth
(Wednesday, January 26th and Thursday, January 27th from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm)
