Base Metals Webinar Series Copper — Red Metal for a Green Future
Date: Thursday, April 27, 2023
Time: 1:00pm – 2:30pm MDT (UTC-6)
Location: Online using Zoom
Please join SEG for the first installment of the SEG 2023 Base Metals Webinar Series, Copper – Red Metal for a Green Future, as they provide students and professionals alike with an open forum for interaction with industry and academic experts as they discuss the significance of copper exploration and the massive role that it will play in the evolving energy transition.
This webinar will contain a series of mini-lectures that will focus on a variety of relevant themes, such as investigating the latest regional and global copper market trends, modern exploration highlights and frontiers, and significant advances coming from within academia. Following the lectures, a panel discussion will offer conversations on a wide range of key concepts and allow the panelists to bring their unique perspectives to the table.
Mini-Lectures
“The future of copper – increasing production, increasing trade, and increasing challenges”
Jamie Brainard, USGS
“Prospectivity beyond known deposits: looking at broader controls on mineralizing systems in the context of the Central African Copperbelt”
George Gilchrist, Ivanhoe Mines
“Developing multidisciplinary tools for blind subsurface Cu exploration through collaborative research”
Helen Twigg, iCRAG
The motivation for both this series and webinar is to provide the space for attendees to develop a better overall understanding of the full base metals value chain, including modern approaches to exploration methodology and the latest developments in academic thinking. Students and early career professionals are highly encouraged to join the discussion!
