North Atlantic Minerals Symposium

Co-chairs: Andrew Kerr (Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador), Gerry Stanley (Geological Survey of Ireland), Lawrence Winter (Altius Minerals Corporation)

Session Sponsor: NAMS

The NAMS concept is intended to bring together representatives of industry, government geoscience, and university research who share a common interest in the geology and mineral potential of the North Atlantic region. This focus is defined loosely to include eastern North America and Western Europe, adjacent northern lands, and Atlantic islands. NAMS seeks reviews and ideas connected to the regional and district metallogeny of these regions, exploration and research case studies of all types, and also wider conceptual contributions related to metallogeny that are pplicable in the region. In the wider context of this conference, contributions related to the use of applied geochemical techniques in the North Atlantic exploration environment are also welcome. The North Atlantic Minerals Symposium (NAMS) is a joint initiative of the Geological Survey of Ireland and the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador (Canada).
