Professional Development Short Course Content This three-day course covers the fundamentals of textural observation and interpretation in mineralised hydrothermal systems. The techniques used are simple, highly effective and require no specialised equipment for their implementation. The techniques are also extremely practical in that they generate numerous questions concerning the mineralisation being studied and commonly provide […]
EGRU staff and students invite our industry, government and research colleagues to join them for this year's EGRU Engagement Day on Friday 14th March. The Engagement Day is an opportunity for the EGRU team to provide overviews and updates on research and training initiatives, and to hear from research and industry colleagues about their research […]
