As part of the seminars of the 13th International Congress of Prospectors and Explorers - proEXPLO 2023, the course "Mineralizing Processes in Hydrothermal Systems: Implications for Mineral Genesis and Exploration" will be held soon.

Its purpose will be to review sources and compositions of mineralizing fluids and to discuss metal transport and ore-forming processes, using examples of sediment-hosted mineral systems, porphyry, epithermal and skarn.

We will also review the environments in which potential ore-forming processes may operate, the major controversies surrounding ore genesis, and how these controversies may have implications for exploration models.

Instructor

The course will be given by David Cooke, director of the Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences (CODES), and a researcher of the hydrothermal and magmatic processes leading to the formation of epithermal porphyry copper and gold ores since the mid 1980s.

In addition, the renowned geologist, together with a team of specialists, has studied the mineralogical and geochemical halos of porphyry and epithermal deposits for almost two decades, developing new geochemical exploration tools for mining.

This earned him the AMIRA International Award for Excellence in Geoscientific Research in 2012, in addition to other distinctions received from the Society of Economic Geologists in 2013 and the Australian Academy of Sciences in 2018.

Registration

It should be noted that this will be a short course, to be held on Friday, May 5, 2023, from 9 am to 3 pm, in person at the headquarters of the Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers, located at Calle Los Canarios 155-157 Urb. San Cesar, district of La Molina.
