He has worked for Freeport and its constituent companies for 27 years, where he has led or otherwise participated in teams making copper and gold ore deposit discoveries in Asia, Europe and the Americas. He is a Fellow and former Vice President – Europe of the Society of Economic Geology, a Fellow of the London Geological Society and a member of the Colorado Scientific Society, the Geological Society of Nevada and the Denver Regional Explorationist’s Society. Cornel is a Principal Scientist at GNS Science. He leads the Offshore Minerals part of the New Zealand EEZ program. Since 1997, the research that he and his team do has largely concentrated on seafloor hydrothermal vents associated with submarine arc volcanoes of the Kermadec Arc (~1,300 km), north-east of New Zealand, although their work has taken them to arcs all around the world, including the Mariana, Tofua and Aeolian arcs. De Ronde and colleagues at GNS, NOAA, NIWA, WHOI and elsewhere have now surveyed ~150 major volcanoes around the world for their seafloor hydrothermal systems and associated mineral deposits. Jeffrey conducted research with national institutes in the USA, New Zealand and Japan for 24 years on geothermal energy development, the composition of volcanic discharges and epithermal and porphyry deposits of the circum-Pacific region. Since 1999, he has been based in Ottawa as an independent consultant to the mineral resources industry and numerous agencies worldwide. He has received several recognitions for his landmark publications and training efforts, the latter in part while affiliated with four universities. In 2010, he was President of the Society of Economic Geologists. Larry is head of the Mineral Resources Program at the US Geological Survey, where he is responsible for leading the research, assessment and information-gathering functions of more than 300 scientists. Previously, he had a successful academic career spanning three different universities, where he managed research laboratories and advised dozens of postdoctoral scientists and PhD., MS and BS students engaged in cutting edge mineral resource research. He has worked as a consultant for major mining companies in more than 50 countries and probably has seen more skarn deposits than anybody else on the planet. He has an active research program, with more than 170 peer-reviewed publications, and is chief editor of the leading international scientific journal in this field, Economic Geology. Franco, a mineral systems geoscientist in the Geological Survey of Western Australia, has considerable experience in tectonics, ore deposit geology and mineral exploration in Europe, southern Africa, South East Asia, New Zealand, the southwest Pacific, China, Greenland, southern and eastern Siberia and Australia. Richard has experience in a wide variety of project analysis, business development and strategic planning roles within the international resources industry – including 15 years at WMC and, more recently, four years at BHP Billiton. In 2008, Richard founded MinEx Consulting to provide strategic and economic advice to industry and government. His main focus is on the economics of mineral exploration. Richard has published several dozen papers on exploration performance and is internationally recognized by his peers as a world leader in mineral economics. He serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Resources Policy and the organising committees for the AusIMM and the Melbourne Mining Club, and is also a member of SEG and the SME, and an Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Exploration Targeting at UWA. Richard has operated for more than 40 years as an independent consultant to mining companies, international agencies and foreign governments. He has worked on a wide variety of mineral deposits and prospects in nearly 100 countries worldwide, but focuses on the epithermal gold and porphyry copper environments. Published research has earned him awards in Europe, Australia and North and South America, including the Silver Medal of the Society of Economic Geologists, of which he was President from 1999–2000. In 1982, John joined the BP Minerals group (Rio Tinto) initially in Australia, followed by positions in the UK and Salt Lake, USA. In 1991, John became director of the Mineral Deposit Research Unit at the University of British Columbia, managing exploration-related research for over 20 companies. He returned to industry in 1998 as Chief Geoscientist for Teck, and then Vice President Technology and Development. In the latter role, he managed technology and innovation programs and was involved in corporate development including resource and technology-related transactions. He left Teck in 2012 and is now Principal, PetraScience Consultants, an exploration, development and technology consultancy, and is also the Wold Professor of Environmental Balance for Human Sustainability at Cornell University. 4 www.pacrim2015.ausimm.com.au In the last 20 years Franco has worked extensively in Western Australia’s Proterozoic terranes and was instrumental in the discovery of a new large igneous province in Australia. He was visiting Professor at Peking University in 2003 and China University of Geosciences, Beijing in 2004, and on the Steering Committee of the Large Igneous Provinces Working Group.

T3: Exploration Geo-Tour of Sai Kung South-East Volcanic Rock Region — Tuesday 17 March 2015 The geo tour to the Sai Kung south-east volcanic rock region of Hong Kong geopark is suggested for those who would like to explore the coastal geological landscapes with hexagonal volcanic rock columns. The volcanic rock with columnar joints found in the High Island region is a type of acidic rhyolite ¾ dacite porphyroclastic lava. It is rich in potash feldspar and quartz phenocrysts and at around 400 metres thick, these rocks are known as High Island Formation. They are part of the Early Cretaceous Kau Sai Chau Volcanic Group. Most outcropped strata of Sharp Island belong to Mesozoic Cretaceous volcanic Clearwater Bay Formation, a formation composed primarily of flow-banded porphyritic rhyolite lava, rhyolite breccia and eutaxitic vitric tuff. The Clearwater Bay Formation is part of the Kau Sai Chau Volcanic Group, the youngest of its kind in the territory. It is marked by features of volcanic activities in Hong Kong during the final stage of the Mesozoic Era also found on Sharp Island, just below Clearwater Bay Formation, are Mang Kung Uk Formation volcanic rocks. The rock here is essentially tuffaceous siltstone mixed with crystal bearing fine ash vitric tuff and tuff breccia.

This one-day workshop is designed to help explorers understand skarn deposits with common sense exploration concepts and easy to apply mineralogical guides. We will clarify the basic concepts and terminology, explain the current understanding of skarn-forming processes and summarize the general characteristics of major skarn types. The focus will be on the zonation patterns in skarns that are useful in exploration with a discussion of how the zonation pattern varies in different environments. The workshop will cover the following topics: 1. Introduction, definition and mineralogy 2. Classification and terminology 3. Skarn-forming processes and evolutionary stages 4. General characteristics of major skarn types 5. Zonation in skarn systems 6. Factors affecting the formation of skarns and zonation patterns 7. Skarn exploration techniques. The workshop will include hand samples to demonstrate various skarn minerals, skarn types and zonation patterns. Non-member: HKD 3000 Time: 9.00 am – 5.30 pm Numbers: Minimum 20 – Maximum 50 Venue: Conrad Hong Kong, Pacific Place 88 Queensway, Hong Kong Includes: Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and full colour workshop manual Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology can be used to collect large amounts of multi-element data rapidly at relatively low cost and has been widely embraced within the minerals industry. However, to date, it has been difficult to compare data-sets collected by different users or at different times because there is no standardised approach to the collection of these data. I will show you how to collect reliable pXRF data, some of the pitfalls to avoid and how to assess that your data are robust and fit-for-purpose. Structural controls are emphasised as one of the most important controls on hydrothermal mineralization, but workplace practice in the exploration and mining industry does not always avail itself of the latest techniques in the discipline. This workshop will start with a refresher on the basics of structural geology, and show how these principles affect exploration and mining. New techniques of visualisation, working with orientated core, and using ground-based and UAV (drone) photogrammetry will be covered. Participants will be invited to provide input to the workshop regarding applications that they are interested in so that the short course can be focussed to their interests if possible.
