Agate project and WAXI training courses have been developed in collaboration with industry and universities professionals and cover a range of advanced geoscientific topics (not always covered by local curriculum).
This three-day course is designed specifically for geoscientists, community relations workers, consultants, and early-stage regulators working in mineral exploration. It aims to help professionals develop the necessary skills and knowledge to build strong relationships with communities in the context of resource exploration.
Through lectures, group exercises, and workshop discussions, participants will be able to critically assess which approaches and strategies will have the most significant impact on their discovery success. Registration Fees: US$1,800 per person for WAXI sponsors and US$2,200 for non-WAXI sponsors.
This five-day course is aimed at Exploration Managers or anyone who aspires to become one within the next few years. It will also serve as a useful introduction to the mineral exploration business for any non-technical professionals who track the activities of mineral explorers in the market or others in the industry. Registration Fees: US$1,800 per person for WAXI sponsors and US$2,200 for non-WAXI sponsors.
This 5-day training course is designed for geologists who want to advance their knowledge of contemporary integrated structural geophysics mapping techniques of sedimentary basins.
Registration Fees: US$1,800 per person for WAXI sponsors and US$2,200 for non-WAXI sponsors.
This course will introduce modern analysis techniques applied to the interpretation of regional geophysical data. Attendees will be provided with custom Open Source QGIS plugins and taught how to process magnetic grids, create complete maps from their interpretations, build 3D geological models, and perform geophysical inversions.Registration fees: US$1,7500 per person for WAXI sponsors and US$1,900 for non-WAXI sponsors.
Further Information on this training course will be available shortly
This course is aimed at geologists who wish to improve their skill base in modern integrated Structural Geophysics mapping techniques. It will provide an introduction to modern analysis techniques applied to the interpretation of regional geophysical data. Registration fees are US$1,7500 per person for WAXI sponsors and US$1,900 for non-WAXI sponsors.
This training course focuses on geochemical techniques applied to mineral exploration, offering comprehensive coverage of essential topics such as sampling strategies, sample preparation, and statistical data analysis. It is aimed at Geologists who want to pursue geochemical exploration further and learn more from the large amount of data collected. Registration Fees: US$2,100* per person for WAXI sponsors & US$2,450* for non-WAXI sponsors.
This three-day training course, including lectures and hands-on exercises, will provide a mineral system analysis of orogenic/intrusion-related gold, including its structural, hydrothermal alteration/mineralization, and fluid chemistry control at epi, meso, and hypogonadal crustal levels.
Registration Fees: US$1,200 per person for WAXI sponsors and US$1,350 for non-WAXI sponsors.
This 5-day training course is aimed at field geologists interested in base metal and iron deposits in sedimentary basins. Registration Fees: US$1,750* per person for WAXI sponsors and US$1,900* for non-WAXI sponsors.
This nine-day training (including two days spent travelling to the field) is intended for geologists who want to expand their skills in conducting field mapping, use the collected data to perform structural analysis and generate comprehensive structural models, and Improve their understanding of the implications of deformation processes and structures on mineralisation. This training focuses on hands-on learning, with fieldwork in the mornings and theory sessions in the afternoons.
Registration Fees: US $3,500 per person for WAXI sponsors and US $3,800 for non-WAXI sponsors.
The organisers reserve the right to cancel any training if the minimum requirement of 10 participants is not met.
