NEW FLYER with Key Speakers List
MINING NSW
Exploration & Mine Development Opportunities in the Central West & Northern Tablelands
1-3 September 2008 The Orange Ex-Services Club, NSW
will provide a unique gathering for the major (and up and coming) players in the region to come together and discuss the latest developments and prospects. New South Wales is experiencing a major resurgence in mineral exploration and development.
The program is currently being developed, and will include updates from existing mines in NSW presentations from explorers active in the region, and importantly will include a major emphasis on infrastructure requirements, energy + water requirements, skill shortages, accommodation issues and much more.
TERRY LEACH SYMPOSIUM
Application of Petrology to Geological Models in Mineral Exploration
With Greg Corbett as Chairman, SMEDG and AIG are organising a one day symposium, to be held at the Kirribilli Club, Milson's Point on Friday, October 17, 2008, to honour Terry's contribution to mineral exploration.

Teacher Earth Science Education Programme
Teacher Earth Science Education Programme (TESEP) is seeking partners to help fund this initiative to encourage more secondary school students to consider careers in earth sciences.
TESEP has received many new partners including the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) and the Geological Society of Australia (GSA), university groups from Macquarie, Sydney and Melbourne and companies such as Woodside, Beach Petroleum and GeoDynamics. In addition TESEP has partnered with the Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA). ASTA has agreed to administer the business operations of TESEP and provide all necessary logistical support in running the TESEP workshops and other activities.
TESEP has developed a national plan to run teacher professional development workshops on key areas of topical interest and curriculum relevance between 2008 and 2010 and may be in a position to commence operations mid year. However, to ensure we can commence in 2008 we need further partners to come on board. Only a few more partners and we will be assured of commencing this year but if we get many more we can be not only certain of starting but confident of really making a big impact as we go forward into 2009 and 2010.

Climate change never stops - it's changing all the time and, while we don't have a choice, I'll take warming over cooling any day.
