Plan to attend the GSN Symposium, New Concepts
and Discoveries, May 14-23, 2015 to be held at
John Ascuaga’s Nugget in Reno/Sparks, Nevada.
This is the seventh in a series of symposia designed
to provide an international forum for scientific
discussion of geological processes and their
relationships to ore deposits.

Four days of talks will be accompanied by pre- and
post-meeting field trips to the premier mining
districts in Nevada. Pre- and post-meeting short
courses will be offered. Posters and a full slate of
excellent core shack displays from the Great Basin
and beyond, along with vendor exhibits, will be on
display throughout the meeting. A pre-meeting
forum, is sponsored by the Society of Economic
Geologists, is also scheduled.

SEG Forum: Carlin-Like Gold Deposits: What
Can We Learn Beyond The Known Trends and
Nevada?
The tradition of examining Carlin controversies in a
pre-meeting forum was born 10 years ago with a
debate over magmatic vs. amagmatic origins for
these deposits. In this forum, we will start with what
we know about the large Carlin-type deposits in
Nevada, and looking outward at Carlin-like deposits
elsewhere in the Great Basin, Yukon, China and
other locations. Do these Carlin-like deposits have
different origins or do they form a continuum with
the deposits in Nevada? Come participate in the
discussion!
Short Courses:
 Ore Reserve Estimates in the Real World
 Modern Drilling Systems: The Hardware
 Modern Drilling Fluids: The Software
 Great Basin and Cordillera Mining
Geophysics
 Analytical Methods in Geochemistry

benefits and drawbacks of the various methods. The
emphasis will be on core and reverse circulation drilling but
will also introduce methods currently applied to water wells,
geotechnical and environmental studies, and hydrocarbons.
Topics will include types of samples obtained, relative costs,
environmental foot print, getting the most information out of
the hole, and basics of drill contracts. A section will also be
devoted to the hydraulic fracturing process used in the
petroleum and water well industries. A further goal of the
class is to provide “cross pollination” between drilling
companies and the broader geoscience community to
enhance innovation and reduce costs. This class will be a mix
of classroom lectures and field experiences with the drilling
equipment.
This course is built around SEG Special Publication #3, which
was designed as a workbook to be used in conjunction with
the 2 or 3 day short course, this will be a 2 day course. As
co-authors, John Stone and Peter Dunn have spent most of
their professional careers in the mineral industry. Both had
come to the conclusion that the reserve estimates that had
formed the basis for a very large percentage of the actual
mining operations with which they were either familiar or
aware of, were either wrong, or at best misleading.
Furthermore, while the tonnage of ore produced by a given
operation was often greater than the tonnage originally
forecast, the grade of ore (and hence the profitability of the
operation) was almost invariably lower than envisioned by
the feasibility study leading to final project approval. In
short, studies were almost always wrong, and generally only
in the least favorable direction. Since many of the examples
within the course are based on actual cost sheets from actual
operations that are no longer in operation, we elected not to
artificially inflate cost numbers and commodity prices.
$350/oz gold may seem like a quaint anachronism, but was
quite real in the mid-90s!
In order to observe drill rigs in their native
environment, this class will be based in Elko, Nevada.
Attendees will need to bring their own PPE (hard hat,
glasses, steel toes, and ear protection). The cost of the
course includes class materials, lunches, snacks and local
transportation. Participants will need to make their own
travel and lodging arrangements.
SC3 Modern Drilling Fluids: The Software
The text itself (and the short course), is broken into the 10
chapters, covering the basic economic concepts used in the
analysis of a projected mining venture (cash flow, selective
mining, cutoff grades, etc.), the various methods for
projecting the tiny fraction of a deposit actually sampled into
the vast unknown space surrounding a given sample site, the
estimation of the geometry or volume of the deposit, the
density or tonnage factor, the distribution of grade values,
and the location in 3-D space of the deposit and its influence
on mining dilution. The last three chapters are on mapping,
sampling, mine grade control and “Theory vs. Reality”. At the
conclusion of each of the main chapters, there are a couple
of simple exercises designed to illustrate the various points
raised in the preceding chapter. The text IS NOT a course in
geostatistics, or any particular method of reserve estimation,
but is rather a review of the applicability and shortcomings of
the various methods commonly in use.
May 15-16, 2015
Instructor: Baroid Industrial Drilling Products
Cost: Student $100, Technical Session Registrant $450, NonTechnical Session Registrant $550
Participants: 6 minimum, No maximum
This course is custom designed with the mining industry
professional in mind. The course can be paired with the
Modern Drilling Systems class to form a comprehensive four
day course focused on the drill site and managing sample
control.
Participants could include geoscientists, environmental
specialists, regulatory agencies, drilling professionals and
support staff. This two day course will cover the application
of modern drilling fluids and maximizing hole control, sample
quality, penetration rates and overall project costing.
SC2 Modern Drilling Systems: The Hardware
May 13-14, 2015
Instructor: Boart Longyear
Course Description: In mineral exploration and development
drilling, there is nothing that affects recovery and quality
condition of the sample obtained more than that material’s
interaction with a drilling fluid. A stable drill hole provides us
the “pathway” to obtaining a drill sample from the desired
zone. In the drilling process, the composition and movement
of a drilling fluid is one of the principal real-time adjustable
parameters that can affect the complete recovery of a high
quality representative sample (either chips or core) and also
affect the stability of the drill hole. This two day seminar will
provide a state of the art view of the technical side of what
comprises a drilling fluid, what properties and functions are
desirable and possible, limitations which may exist, and
which fluid types are appropriate for drilling in different
geologic conditions. The course will discuss common fluid
types used in air drilling (RC and conventional), as well as
coring and mud rotary applications. The course will also
provide an overview of global trends in the evolution of
drilling fluid use, including the environmental implications of
drilling fluids, the logistics involved and global industry
trends. The course will be immediately useful to exploration

geologists, drilling contractors and other personnel
responsible for the planning and management of mineral
exploration drilling programs.
Lecture topics include: geological settings and controls on
mineralization, hydrothermal minerals and their zonation,
precious-metal transport and deposition, spatial and
temporal scales of mineralizing processes, and case studies.
Emphasis is placed on understanding the exploration
potential of a project and the depth-level of erosion.

Comstock Lode Field Trip (May 23) — The Comstock district,
in the southern Virginia Range of western Nevada, is hosted
by Oligocene-Miocene volcanic and intrusive rocks. Several
different phases of hydrothermal activity have produced a
spectrum of alteration styles associated with quartz-alunitepyrophyllite-diaspore
and
quartz-adularia-illite-calcite
assemblages, plus silver-rich bonanza vein ores containing
quartz, adularia, and calcite. Field stops through the district
provide an overview of the geology, alteration and vein fill
that is typical of epithermal mineralization and that will
stimulate discussion of hydrothermal processes and depth
level controls contributing to ore genesis.

Participants: 10 minimum, No maximum
This is the second biennial offering of the extremely well
received program organized by the Elko Chapter of GSN.
Geophysicists, geophysical service providers, geologists and
engineers are all encouraged and welcome. This offering is
designed to focus on practical application of modern
geophysical techniques, with an emphasis on case histories
of sediment-hosted, porphyry and epithermal deposits and
successful application of technology in the increasingly crossdisciplinary world of mineral exploration.
How your geochemical data is generated, and is it fit for
purpose?
It’s an all-important question in our current exploration and
mining environment of tight margins, low risk appetite and
NI 43-101 requirements. But many geoscientists order up
assays and later receive the results without really
understanding the mechanics behind the “black box” that
produces them.
This course can be paired with the Applied Geochemistry in
Mineral Exploration, Development and Environmental
Monitoring class to form a comprehensive two day course
focused on applied exploration tools using real world case
studies.
This course will help you understand and leverage the huge
selection of analytical methods available to best suit your
needs, whether you’re working in greenfields exploration,
resource estimation, or grade control. Presentations by
leading geochemists with over 100 years of combined
experience will cover the most important considerations
behind picking the right analytical methods for your project
and getting quality data out of them. We’ll cap off with a
surficial sampling case study over blind mineralization
comparing many geochemical techniques.

Course Outline
1.
Lecture Content (May 21-22)
— Epithermal deposits are
diverse and attractive exploration targets for gold and silver
because they can contain high grade ore and large metal
inventories, and they can overlie deep porphyry
mineralization. This course focuses on the geological
characteristics of epithermal deposits, their hydrothermal
mineral patterns, and the processes that produce them.

Metallurgy is usually viewed as a follow-on step to successful
discovery of potentially economic mineralization, and is
cross-disciplinary knowledge that most geoscientists gain
indirectly through experience on development projects.
Metallurgy is ultimately used to determine what the raw
assay data being generated on a project might mean in
terms of economics. Knowing more about the downstream
processes that might be utilized to recover metals or
minerals leads to better informed decisions at every step of
the project pipeline.
LeapFrog Geo is a three dimensional geologic modeling and
data presentation program that bridges the gap between
simple cross sectional data presentations and full-blown
reserve estimation and mine planning software. Imagine
taking your raw drill hole data and being able to validate,
visualize, analyze, and start modeling within 30 minutes! No
set up or digitization. Leapfrog Software lets you build
models in minutes or hours, rather than days and weeks of
work. Leapfrog is an easy-to-learn indispensable tool for
front-end 3D visualization and rapid analysis of data
(geology, geochemistry, metallurgy, geophysics, structure,
etc.) that is being used for analysis and targeting in grass
roots exploration, building 3D models for rapid assessment.
Please note that space will be limited. To avoid
disappointment, please get your application in early.
This is a mini-session about ½ the duration of a full Leapfrog
Fundamentals course.

Geometallurgy is a relatively new buzz word for the managed
integration of geology, geostatistics, mining, extractive
metallurgy, environmental and economic information with
the objective of maximizing project economics while derisking the project. It is an inherently cross disciplinary
process, and this short course is designed for both
metallurgists as well as the geoscientists to facilitate earlier
communication and increased efficiency in project evaluation
and execution.

Instructors: Pim van Geffen
Cost: Student $50, Technical Session Registrant $225, NonTechnical Session Registrant $350
Participants: 10 minimum, 30 maximum
a
Selection of a number of ore samples that are
indicative of the geology and are representative of
the inherent variation in the deposit
Laboratory-scale test work to determine the ore's
response to mineral processing
Modeling the distribution of the relevant metallurgic
relations throughout the ore body
The integration of the resulting spatial information
into a mining sequence plan to predict process plant
behavior over life of mine
Mining, exploration, and environmental organizations spend
considerable sums to acquire geochemical data. Most
organizations derive only a fraction of their data’s potential
value due to limited data analysis and interpretation tools.
This is because tools such as GIS packages and Excel
spreadsheets are not specifically designed for analyzing
exploratory geochemical data. They are time consuming to
use and may end up compromising the quality of the
interpretation by limiting how you view your data.
IoGAS has been specially developed for exploratory and
geochemical data analysis. It offers the best tools and
workflows for efficiently interpreting your data by capturing
the experience and knowledge of the REFLEX Geochemistry
(formerly IoGlobal Consulting) team of world-class
geochemists.
The following data are commonly used for geometallurgical
modeling (modified from Wikipedia):

Through the IoGAS dynamic graphical environment, you can
interact with the data in real time, making it effortless for
you to detect patterns, anomalies, and relationships across
your data. Combined with optimized workflows, you can
produce high-quality interpretive outputs with the confidence
that you have applied best practice as developed by a team
of geochemical experts. Just as importantly, these results
can be produced in a fraction of the time taken by traditional
tools. IoGAS is a powerful statistical and mapping program
designed specifically for the interpretation and presentation
of geochemical and geologic information.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools to
store, interpret, and present geologic information. As
powerful as these tools are, they are only as useful as the
data stored in them and the ability to utilize it. This course
will focus on getting data from the field, core shed, and
office into usable databases, use and maintenance of
databases, and interpretative methods. This course is not
about how to push the buttons on a specific GIS program but
how to set up and utilize these systems efficiently. The
target audience is anyone tasked with collecting, managing,
or using GIS data.
