Geological and mining sciences provide critical information for identifying, developing and adding economic value to the exploitation of mineral resources through the timely delivery of information. Moreover, they provide knowledge of the relevant natural variables as well as technical and economic criteria which impact the planning, design, exploitation and mineral processing. Gecamin conferences related to this area include:
