Better understanding of the nature of an exploration target or mineral deposit is critical to extract its full value. Improved geological knowledge helps moving on to the next exploration target, delineating it further or assisting determination of the optimal extraction/processing routes and environmental factors requiring consideration. As such, GSL, Evident Scientific and Imdex have brought together speakers from across the industry to speak about their experiences, approaches and technologies and how they can be applied from early exploration stage through to feasibility and production to provide increased NPV and shareholder value.
