WORKSHOP 5<br />
DATE Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th August <strong>2012</strong><br />
TITLE MAGMATIC Ni-Cu and PGE DEPOSITS: GEOLOGY, GEOCHEMISTRY and GENESIS<br />
LOCATION GEORGE WILLIAMS HOTEL 325 George St Brisbane<br />
ORGANISERS Society of Economic Geologists<br />
PRESENTERS Chusi Li and Ed Ripley ; University of Indiana plus others to be advised<br />
SUMMARY This 2-day short course will focus on our current understanding of the genesis of and<br />
exploration for several types of magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE deposits.Topics will include<br />
the following: (1) fundamental controls on the generation of magmatic sulfide<br />
deposits, (2) komatiite-hosted Ni deposits, (3) Ni-Cu-(PGE) deposits hosted in small<br />
mafic-ultramafic intrusions, and (4) PGE deposits in large layered intrusions. The<br />
short course will be helpful not only to those who are interested in the geology and<br />
exploration of world-class magmatic sulfide deposits but also to those who may<br />
utilize sulfide- bearing magmatic systems as aids in the study of secular variations of<br />
mafic-ultramafic magmatism in both continental and oceanic settings. A new SEG<br />
volume of Reviews in Economic Geology (2011), entitled, Magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE<br />
Deposits: Geology, Geochemistry and Exploration, which includes chapters authored<br />
by more than 20 of the world’s experts, will be used as the textbook.<br />

WORKSHOP 6<br />
DATE Sunday 5th August <strong>2012</strong><br />
TITLE GEOCHEMISTRY, MINERALOGY and MICROBIOLOGY of ARSENIC in the<br />
ENVIRONMENT<br />
LOCATION CONGRESS VENUE<br />
ORGANISERS MINERALOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA<br />
PRESENTERS Rob Bowell SRK Consulting UK<br />
Dave Polya University of Manchester UK<br />
Dave Craw University of Otago NZ<br />
Jack Ng University of Queensland<br />
Petr Drahota Charles University Czech Republic<br />
SUMMARY The purpose of the workshop would be to provide a comprehensive understanding<br />
of arsenic geochemistry in the near surface environment. This would follow on from<br />
recent arsenic conferences such as Aquatrain series, the most recent being July 2010<br />
in Manchester and the EPA conference on arsenic in Denver in 2001.<br />

The workshop would cover the mineralogy and geochemistry of arsenic and its<br />
implications in assessing arsenic geochemistry in natural groundwaters, mine<br />
associated impacts and the interaction of arsenic with biological cycles and<br />
consequences. A final chapter would deal with the management and mitigation of<br />
arsenic related impacts in the environment.<br />
