35TH INTERNATIONAL GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS
27 AUGUST - 4 SEPTEMBER 2016 | CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
Mineral Resources Evaluation, Geostatistics and Mathematical Geoscience
The notifications to presenting authors confirming their specific date and time of presentation will be communicated the 20 August 2016.
Second Draft Preliminary programme is being updated per theme as the SPC signs them off.
The detailed draft day by day programme for each theme is being announced as it is being collated. These are still preliminary and will be finalised by the 20 August.
As this is the Second draft, please note that where there are abstract presenters not yet registered, these have now been removed from the programme.
Once removed, you will not be included in the abstracts or the programme. If your co-author is presenting, please contact the secretariat urgently to confirm and advise so that your paper can be moved to the correct presenter. Email 35igc@allevents.co.za
if you have any queries or if you have in the interim managed to secure finances and registered.

Mineral Resources Evaluation, Geostatistics and Mathematical Geoscience
Numerical analysis in the geosciences and the quantification of mineral resources and ore deposits in terms of their volume/mass and grade are sophisticated and complex processes. This theme provides an opportunity to report on the progress in resource estimation methodology and its application to a wide variety of different ore types and settings.
Please note that this is preliminary and final allocations in the programme will be announced in the 5th Announcement and updated on the Website in July.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PRESENTING AUTHORS (FOR ORALS) OR AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR (FOR POSTERS) MUST BE REGISTERED FOR THE MEETING BY 31 MAY 2016 IN ORDER TO HAVE THE ABSTRACT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAMME.
