Under the general theme 'Mineral Exploration and Sustainable Development' the meeting brought together economic geologists from academia, government and industry to discuss current issues regarding exploration for mineral deposits and their sustainable development by the minerals industry. In these proceedings more than 300 papers are published. They are grouped thematically as follows:
Plenary lectures
Sustainable development and geo-environmental impact models
Supergene metallogenic processes
Seafloor hydrothermal systems
Porphyries/granites and the magmatic-hydrothermal transition
Epithermal systems
Ore forming processes associated with mafic and ultramafic rocks
Basin evolution and ore forming processes
Orogenic hydrothermal systems
Organic matter and mineral deposits
Industrial minerals
Special session: FeOx-Cu-Au, VMS and orogenic gold deposits in light of the tectonic evolution of the fennoscandian shield
SEG symposium: Exploring for tethyan ores: Development from historic roots
