Speakers in the SMEDG Pipeline:
In July, Greg Corbett.
Gold discovery in Papua New Guinea – A talk dedicated to the memory of Gavin Thomas
NOTE: this will not be a typical Corbett technical talk but was born out of a request by Graham Teale for Greg to give a discovery style talk to the AIG in Adelaide recently. It will be more of a talk on the history of exploration with some geology.

An outline of the proposed August SMEDG presentation
“The Valuation of Mineral Projects”

is provided below by Mike Leggo:
The topics that will be covered are: • Why are valuations required? • How are valuations carried out? • Who does a valuation? • What are the roles of Valuers and Technical Appraisers? • Is this a career option? • What is AIMVA?
