Eira Thomas, CEOof Stornoway Diamonds Corp., and D. GrenvilleThomas, honorary chairman, founder, and directorof Aber Diamond Corp., have pledged $1 milliondollars on behalf of the Thomas familytoward the new unit. Goals for the KimberliteResearch Unit will be to promote a better understandingof kimberlites and their diamondsthrough research, training of geoscientists, andcontinuing education. Barbara Scott Smith hasbeen named Kimberlite Coordinator, and JOHNGURNEY (SEG 2004 F) will be a visiting professorat the MDRU later this year.

Canby (SEG 2003), EuropeIsidoro B.A. Schalamuk (SEG 1996 F),Latin America & CaribbeanAlexander S. Yakubchuk (SEG 1999 F), North EurasiaSEG Regional Vice-PresidentLecturer for 2006Nicolas J. Beukes (SEG 1985 F) is professorin geology and co-leader of the PaleoproterozoicResearch Group (PPM) at theUniversity of Johannesburg. He is essentiallya field geologist with a special interestin Precambrian paleo-environmentalreconstructions. Nic has a very broadbasedknowledge of early carbonate successions,manganese ore deposits, andiron-formations with associated highgradeiron ore deposits. He is perhaps bestknown for his work on basin analyses and sedimentary oredeposits of the Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic Transvaal Supergroupin southern Africa. However, he has also worked extensivelyon the siliciclastic gold-bearing beds of the Mesoarchean Witwatersrandand Pongola Supergroups and was the first to provethat they are correlative and had been deposited in the samebasin. He received the Draper Medal, the highest award from theGeological Society of South Africa, in 2002, and HonoraryFellowship from the Geological Society of America in 2004.During the past four years Nic, together with the other coleaderof PPM, Jens Gutzmer, and students have focused muchof their research on the origin of giant high-grade BIF-hostedhematite iron ore deposits in South Africa, India, and Brazil,basin analyses of the various late Paleoproterozoic red-bed successionsof southern Africa, and the MesoarcheanBushmanland Group that is host to the economically importantAggeneys Cu-Pb-Zn deposits. Their stratigraphic work iscoupled with paleomagnetic studies and detrital zircon age datingto allow paleogeographic and provenance reconstructions.Apart from lecturing at various universities in South Africa,Nic is also planning to visit universities in Botswana, Namibia,Zambia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Tanzania,and Ghana.Nic will be available to speak on four topics:• Genesis of superlarge high-grade BIF-hosted iron ore depositsand relevance to deposits in Africa;• Paleoenvironmental and biological significance ofPrecambrian iron-formations, ironstones and laterites;• The origin and distribution of major sedimentary manganeseore deposits through time with special reference to Africa;• Genetic and sequence stratigraphic controls on gold mineralizationin the Mesoarchean Witwatersrand-Pongola basin.Requests for lectures should be addressed to Christine A. Horrigan,Traveling Lecturers Secretary; e-mail, christinehorrigan@segweb.org;tel. 1.720.981.7210 (direct); fax: 1.720.981.7874,Society of Economic Geologists,7811 Shaffer Parkway, Littleton, CO 80127-3732.
