Territory's biggest exploration event celebrates 25 years
More than 300 delegates are expected to attend the Northern Territory Government’s flagship exploration event, the Annual Geoscience Exploration Seminar (AGES) in Alice Springs later this month.
The mining and resources sector supports 5300 direct jobs in the NT. Continuing to develop the resources sector is a key part of the Government’s plan to develop our economy to $40 billion by 2030.
AGES is a technical exploration-focused conference featuring presentations from the NT Geological Survey, its partners and the exploration industry on new geoscience and latest exploration results from across the NT.
The event provides a unique opportunity to access the latest exploration and geoscientific data from the Territory. It also provides the opportunity to network with nearly 200 delegates who will travel to Alice Springs to discuss the discovery and development of the Territory’s minerals and energy resources.
This year’s industry speakers include Astute Metals, GSW Resources, Investigator Resources, Kingsland Minerals, South 32, Newmont, PNX Metals, Prodigy Gold, Teck, Tennant Minerals and Transition Minerals.
A highlight of AGES will be two presentations by Newmont on the geology and discovery history of the Oberon gold deposit in the Tanami.
There will also be presentations from NTGS, Geoscience Australia, CSIRO, universities and exploration companies on new geoscience data and concepts and exploration highlights from across the Territory.
Topics to be covered include new discoveries of regolith-hosted rare earths, innovative targeting for copper-gold in the Barkly, updates on uranium geology in the Pine Creek region, and news of the discovery of the Territory's first graphite resource.
The conference will be held at the Alice Springs Convention Centre on 16-17 April 2024, marking the 25th anniversary of the event.
