SEG NEWS 20 SEG NEWSLETTER No 78 JULY 2009 M. STEPHEN ENDERS (SEG 1981 F) Steve Enders holds degrees in geological engineering from the Colorado School of Mines (B.Sc., 1976) and The University of Arizona (M.Sc., 1981). In 2000, Steve earned his Ph.D. degree in geosciences from The University of Arizona, focusing on the critical role that bacteria can play in supergene enrichment of porphyry copper deposits. After early career experience at Galactic Resources, Pegasus Gold, Texas Gulf, and Terradex Corporation, Steve joined Phelps Dodge, for which he worked 14 years, holding positions as chief geologist at the Morenci copper mine in Arizona, vice president of minesite exploration, and president of Phelps Dodge Exploration Corporation. In 2003, Steve joined Newmont Mining Corporation as vice president of worldwide exploration, and was elected senior vice president in 2006. Steve is currently the Director of Renaissance CANDIDATES FOR SEG OFFICERS: Profiles and Vision Statements Resource Partners, a business that provides strategic advice to corporations and universities focusing on mineral resources. Steve is an honorary lecturer for the Society of Economic Geologists, and he served as president of SEG Foundation and was the Society’s International Exchange Lecturer in 2007. Steve has also been active in the Society of Mining Engineers and was their Henry Krumb Lecturer in 2005. He is involved in several advisory boards at the The University of Arizona, Colorado School of Mines, and the University of Nevada- Reno. He most recently joined the board of directors as a founding member for the Institute for Mineral Resources at The University of Arizona. Vision Statement The SEG serves 5,000 members, worldwide, who are committed to advancing science and the discovery of mineral resources through research, publications, courses, and field trips. The Society is strong, in good shape financially, and growing internationally. The mineral resource industry and academic programs that it supports, however, suffer the consequences of a strongly cyclical business. I believe there is great opportunity for the Society to play a more prominent role in education and training in the science and application of economic geology with a strong focus on discovery of new deposits and characterization of existing ones. Our industry and science have at best 1:1,000 odds of success and arguably worse than 1:10,000. With that in mind, it is hard to imagine that we are in a zero sum game; instead, it is critical that we embrace collaboration and cooperation at all levels and across many disciplines and organizations. I would like to see the Society become the global resource and network for economic geologists by building on our existing student and professional programs to enhance opportunities to teach each other, to hold debates and discussions, and to share information. This can now be done much more easily than in the past as a result of the incredible advances in internet technology and web-based formats.

JULY 2009 No 78 SEG NEWSLETTER 21 MIGUEL CARDOZO (SEG 2003 F) Miguel Cardozo is an exploration geologist with 36 years experience in the business. He graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería in Lima and obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Heidelberg in Germany. Miguel has lectured in mineralogy, ore microscopy, and metallogeny at the Universidad de Ingeniería and worked as research geologist and lecturer in ore microscopy at the Mineralogish-Petrographisches Institüt of the University of Heidelberg. He has been a mine geologist for Cia. Minera Pativilca (Hochschild Group), a mineralogist for Minero Peru and the Peruvian Geological Survey (INGEM- MET), and a consultant exploration geologist with Buenaventura Ingenieros S.A. Miguel has held a number of management positions, including exploration manager–Peru, for Newmont Mining Corporation, regional exploration manager for the Americas of North Limited of Australia, and director of business development, Latin America, for Teck Corp of Canada, and he has been a consultant for various Peruvian and international mining companies, including Aurion Gold and Placer Dome. In addition, Miguel is chairman of Alturas Minerals Corp, a junior exploration company listed in Toronto and Lima, of which he was a founder and its first president and CEO. He is also a director of two other public mining exploration companies, Rio Cristal Zinc and Minera Andina de Exploraciones. Other positions he has held include director of earth sciences for the Peruvian Council of Science and Technology (CONCYTEC), technical advisor of the Ministry of Energy and Mines of Peru, and director of the Peruvian Geological Survey (INGEMMET) and the Peruvian Antarctic Institute. As a consultant, Miguel is the founder and the current executive director of ExploAndes, a prestigious consulting company in the field of geology and exploration services, and of ExploSupport, a company that provides logistic field support to exploration and mining projects. Currently, he serves as president of the Association of Explorers of Peru and of the Mining and Exploration Com - mittee of the Canada-Peru Commerce Chamber. He is also an active member of various geological and miningrelated institutions: Geological Society of Peru (vice-president in 2004), Society of Economic Geologists (SEG VP Regional Lecturer Program in 2001), Institute of Mining Engineers of Peru (president of ProExplo 2001), Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits, Society for Mineral Exploration-British Columbia, and the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada. Vision Statement SEG’s challenge in the upcoming years will be to further expand its geographic area of influence while it continues advancing towards higher standards in the use of the geosciences for the study and sustainable development of mineral resources. Incorporating new members with high professional qualifications from developing countries, members with strong desire to actively support SEG’s objectives, will be a key factor in future institutional endeavors. JENS GUTZMER (SEG 1995 F) Born in the state of Lower Saxony in Germany, Jens Gutzmer was educated at the Technical University of Clausthal-Zellerfeld, where he received an M.Sc. degree in mineralogy and economic geology in 1993. He then moved on to South Africa, where he completed a Ph.D. in geology at the Rand Afrikaans Uni - versity in Johannesburg in 1996. He spent a total of 16 years in South Africa, where he co-founded, together with Nic Beukes, the Paleoproterozoic Mineral - ization Research Group at the Rand Afrikaans University in 1998. In July 2008, he was appointed as professor of economic geology and petrology at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany; he also holds a guest professorship at the University of Johannesburg. Jens is a previous recipient of the Lindgren Award of SEG (2002), the President Award of the National Research Foundation of South Africa (1999) and the TWAS Award of the Academy of Sciences of South Africa (2007). He has been member and chair of the SEG Student Committee (2002–2004) and is one of its active mentors. He was a member of the editorial board of Economic Geology from 2002 to 2007. Vision Statement Despite the recent financial downturn, the biggest threat faced by the global exploration and mining industry remains the lack of young professionals entering their career equipped with relevant knowledge and training. This is the consequence of a long-lasting trend of relevant education programs being shelved and academic positions being made redundant. The SEG has very successfully addressed the need of graduate and postgraduate geoscience students to get exposure to the field of economic geology. Building on this success, SEG should consider the possibility to also act as a suitable catalyst to re-establish or re-invigorate economic geology education programs at selected universities. This will require a sincere collaborative effort from industry, government agencies, and academia, an effort that may well be facilitated by the SEG. I am looking forward to assisting SEG in all of its efforts to assure that future generations of economic geologists will receive appropriate education and training. ALEXANDER YAKUBCHUK (SEG 1999 F) Alexander Yakubchuk was born in Irkutsk, Siberia, in the former Soviet Union. He received his Russian equivalent of M.Sc. degree in 1986 from the geology department, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and his Ph.D. degree in 1989, also from the Lomonosov Moscow State University in Russia. He then became an assistant and associate professor at the same university, teaching structural and regional geology with a main focus on geological mapping surveys in Kazakhstan, adjacent central Asia, and Ukraine. In 1993–1994, he spent 5 months with Prof. Sengor at the Istanbul Technical University, participating in the crossregional tectonic compilation across central Asia. In 1994, Alexander made a change in his career plans and became involved in mineral exploration with various major and junior companies such as BHP, Norilsk Nickel, Rio Tinto, and Anglo Gold, working in various former Soviet Union countries, Mongolia, and to page China.
