Abstract: The rise and fall of Bre-X – a Calgary-based company who owned allegedly the world’s largest, richest gold deposit, in Indonesia – is, without hyperbole, the biggest mining fraud in history. Yet, no charges were ever laid. The scandal led to numerous regulatory and licensing changes around the world. This talk describes the whole story.
Abstract: Multispectral satellite analysis unveils Earth's mineral secrets. Pixels, each a spectral blend, act like partial fingerprints matched to a spectral database. Geologists use this for economic prospecting, identifying high-abundance clusters. The presentation covers spectral analysis, free satellite imagery, and real-world projects, showcasing precise mineral identification for groundbreaking exploration.
Abstract: In November 2021, the Government of Alberta unveiled a strategic plan to unlock the province's untapped mineral resource potential. A key component of this strategy is "increasing public geoscience." This initiative has empowered the Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) to undertake a comprehensive data acquisition program. This presentation will provide an overview of the data acquired, ongoing analyses, and our approach to making this information accessible through online platforms.
Abstract: Komatiite Exploration Ltd was founded in 2021 and is a private mineral exploration company with access to full mineral title for two separate contiguous properties in British Columbia. Battery metals are at the forefront of exploration including Ni, Cu, Co, Mn, Cr, and Li. Other minerals containing Au, Ag, Platinum Group Elements (PGE’s), and Light Rare Earth Elements are also being assessed. This presentation will focus on Sidley which is the larger of the two properties.
Abstract: This talk will provide an exploration update on Fathom Nickel’s Albert Lake and Gochager Lake Projects, the exploration tools utilized and how Fathom plans on advancing both projects and demonstrate that the great province of Saskatchewan can host magmatic nickel sulphide deposits comparable to those currently in production within the Trans Hudson Orogeny.

Abstract: While competing in China, the scale of recent changes in the Jade industry became obvious, and a one month initial research journey to some of the major Jade carving centers and markets in China was undertaken. This led to the creation of Jade Leader Corp. as it entered the International Jade space.
Abstract: The commercial mining of high calcium limestone in Alberta began around 1900 and is still the most important non-fuel mining sector in Alberta today. This talk will examine the geology of the Exshaw Quarry and the geological setting in which these high calcium sediments accumulate.
Abstract: The Annual General Meeting will occur at the beginning of the Luncheon on Friday, December 2nd, followed by a talk given by James Thom from Banyan Gold. If you can't make it and you are an active member and would like to vote, you can vote by proxy.
Abstract: The BAM project was optioned by P2 Gold in the spring of 2020 after no substantive work has been completed on the property for almost 40 years. Airborne and ground geophysical surveys show potentially the fluid pathway and/or host porphyry style mineralization.
