We are just two months away from what promises to be one of the most exciting and
rewarding conferences that the Society has organized for some years, given its location
and focus on the Tethyan metallogenic belt, and the metallogenic focus will also embrace
many more terranes worldwide. The technical sessions are on track to being sold out and
participants will enjoy a very full program of topics covering all aspects of metallogenesis,
mineral exploration, and mining, with international keynote speakers for each thematic
session. The extended program includes a considerable number of pre- and post-conference short courses and field trips and is complemented by guest activities that allow
participants the opportunity to explore this beautiful and culturally diverse country.
The conference has the complete support of the local commercial sector and the
Governor of eme Province, ensuring participants a warm welcome and a safe and
secure environment to enjoy the proceedings. We also warmly acknowledge the strong
support of all our sponsors, ranging from major mining and service companies to the
juniors, which will ensure the success of this international conference.

Following meetings with the Director of Administrative Affairs for Sheraton eme Hotel and the Governor of eme Province, we have been promised that
they will do their best to coordinate our conference planning with the security directorate of eme. The Governor also assured us that extra security support
will be provided in and around the Sheraton Hotel during the conference and any necessary security intelligence will be shared with us.

Tethyan Tectonics and Metallogeny
New Theme and Session
Variations on Orogeny and Metallogenesis Associated with Supercontinent Growth
What is special about the Tethyan belt? And why does it have its own metallogenic signature that is distinct from
other orogens around the world, containing the worlds greatest MVT deposits but lacking orogenic gold mineralization? The leading specialists on five major orogenic belts will discuss the relationships between regional
metallogeny and tectonic evolution in different parts of the globe (Tethysides, Pan African, Central Asian orogenic belt, North American Cordillera, and Andes), ranging in age from the Neoproterozoic to Recent. A subsequent
discussion on similarities and differences will be chaired by Richard Sillitoe and Celal engr, world experts on
regional ore deposit geology and the tectonics of continental growth. Dont miss the opportunity to be part of this
rare assembly of specialists.
Invited speakers include Jeremy Richards (Tethysides), Peter Johnson (Pan African), Alexander Yakubchuk (Central Asian orogenic belt), Richard Goldfarb (North American Cordillera), and Constantino Mpodozis (Andes).

This two-day course will address the

issues that face exploration groups
in a changing and challenging global
environment for the mineral industry.
These issues include fluctuating commodity prices and exchange rates, the
capital crisis facing many junior explorers and developers, and the refocus of
senior companies on quality rather than
size of assets. We will examine how
these topics impact on the minimum
tonnage-grade conditions required to
justify the cost and time of discovering
new economic deposits. A number of
questions will be addressed:

This excursion will examine the depositional mechanism, mineralogical

setting, and operational characteristics
of borate deposits in the Western Turkey district. The largest global borate
deposits known are in central and
western Turkey, including the Krka
(Eskisehir), Emet (Ktahya), and Bigadi (Balkesir). Turkey produces about
half of the global yearly demand,
through Eti Mine Works (Turkish: Eti
Maden Isletmeleri), a Turkish stateowned mining and chemicals company
focusing on boron products. It holds a
government monopoly on the mining
of borate minerals in Turkey, which
possesses 72% of the worlds known
deposits.

The deposits in the Emet and Krka

region are mainly Ca-borate and Naborate, respectively. The Kirka deposit
appears to be the largest Na-borate
deposit in the world.
This is an opportunity for discussion
of pertinent topics: Why is Emet mostly
colemanite with no borax, whereas Krka
is predominantly borax? What is so
different in the origin of the very rare
sodium borate deposits? What is the
mechanism of the hydrothermal leaching
of boron from upper crustal sediments
and ophiolites as a possible major contributor to boron in the lacustrine brine?
What is the role of marine sediments?

volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS)
base metal mineralization and related
deposit styles. Key examples of these

deposits. The Murgul, Lahanos-Kzlkaya
and ayeli VMS deposits occur in the
Eastern Pontide tectonic belt, one of
the major tectonic units comprising
Anatolia. They are hosted by Late Cretaceous dacitic to rhyolitic rocks overlain by thin layers of pelitic sediments.
ayeli is currently being mined by First
Quantum for zinc and copper. Murgul
and Lahanos deposits are operated
by Eti Bakir for base metals. Although
Lahanos and Kzlkaya deposits were
mined out in the past for zinc and
copper, both are now subject to new
drillings to develop new reserves. The
region is considered to be one of the
major metallogenic districts since it is a

Description
This field trip will introduce participants to the geology and mineralization that characterizes selected gold
deposits in Greece and Bulgaria. It will
include site visits to Eldorados gold
operations and development projects

in Greece and Dundees gold deposit in

Bulgaria.
The Skouries porphyry gold-copper
deposit is a Miocene pencil-porphyry
stock that intruded into schists and
gneisses within the Serbo-Macedonian
massif. The Olympias and Stratoni
orebodies are Au-Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu carbonate replacement deposits hosted in
marbles of the southern Rhodope core
complex. Sapes Au-Cu-Te deposit is a
telescoped porphyry-epithermal system
with spectacular outcrops of advanced
argillic alteration within an eroded
Oligocene volcanic edifice. Perama Hill
is an epithermal high sulfidation gold
deposit hosted within sandstone, conglomerate, and andesite of the Petrota
graben. Dundees Adatepe development
project located in south of the town of
Krumovgrad in southeastern Bulgaria
is an epithermal low sulfidation adularia-sericite gold-silver deposit hosted
within Paleocene sedimentary rocks
overlying the Kessebir core complex.
Kavala is a newly-recognized intrusion-related gold system (IRGS) with
gold-rich sheeted veins hosted within
the Miocene Kavala granodiorite. The
field tour will also include tourist-type
site visits in both countries.
All trip participants will be guests of
Eldorado and Dundee and will need to
abide by the occupational health and
safety requirements of the operations
while on site.
