Below is an update on the latest presentations several have given around the world. M. Stephen Enders (SEG 1981 F) In April, Steve gave two presentations: “The mining industry—are the business models broken?” to a group of about 25 industry and university attendees, at the University of Reno-Mackay. The question-and-answer segment lasted an hour—10 minutes longer than the talk! “So, you want to be a geologist—careers in the mining business” to a group of about 100 students and faculty at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. This was a keynote speech at UNLV’s 4 th annual Geosymposium. Mark D. Hannington (SEG 1991 F) Mark presented at the following events: Ottawa-Carleton SEG Career Day, January 17, 2009. Ottawa-Laurentian Joint Modular Course on Hydrothermal Ore Deposits, February 14–21, 2009. Jeffrey W. Hedenquist (SEG 1986 F) Lectures and day-long short courses were presented at three venues to a total of 250 students plus 80 professionals at three Peruvian venues in May, as well as a talk to 500 professionals at ProExplo: Andres del Castillo Museo, Lima: students from San Augustine University, Arequipa, and professionals. Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria, Lima: students and alumni. Universidad Nacional de Cajamarca: students and professionals. ProExplo VI, Lima: SEG talk on opportunities. Andrew M. Killick (SEG 1985 F) March 12, 2009, delivered a lecture “Shear zone-hosted gold deposits” at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Douglas J. Kirwin (SEG 1997 F) Twelve lectures were given at four venues to an aggregate of approximately 600 people, mostly students. Jakarta - MGEI (Masyarakat Geologi Ekonomi Indonesia) University of Pajajaran, Bandung, West Java Indonesia Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia Hasanuddin University- Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia A further comment from Doug: I am very pleased to report there was a great deal of interest from the students and approximately 85 students have applied for SEG student membership, along with 8 to 10 new applications for SEG membership.

Copper in Central EurAsia and Russia: Linking Mineral Resource Assessment, Tectonics, and Metallogeny” Co-sponsors: CERCAMS (Centre for Russian and Central EurAsian Mineral Studies), USGS, SEG, GSA International Division Central EurAsia and Russia host significant porphyry copper deposits and sediment-hosted copper deposits. The region is an important copper producer, a focus of mineral industry exploration interest, and has a complex tectonic history. This session will highlight recent research on the geologic framework for copper deposits (emphasis on porphyry and sediment-hosted deposits) in the former Soviet Union and neighboring territories and applications to regional-scale mineral resource assessment and exploration. Keynote Speakers: Dr. Donald A. Singer, USGS(emeritus); Dr. Reimar Seltmann, CERCAMS, Natural History Museum London; Dr. Vitaly V. Shatov, All Russian Geological Research Institute-VSEGEI, St. Petersburg, Russia. Please contact SEG or the local SEG program chair John Dilles at dillesj@geo.oregonstate.edu for further information.
