PDAC 2022 Online Conference: Future geological surveys will play an important role in the exploration and development of key minerals

MingingWeekly6, 29-At the PDAC2022(2022 Canadian Association of Exploration and Developers Annual Meeting) online meeting held on June 28, member organizations from the World Geological Survey Association (WCOGS) said one after another that geological survey work will play an important role in solving and meeting the growing demand for key minerals and clean energy and reducing the risk of ground disasters. Among them, the African Geological Survey Organization (OAGS) stated that the organization is carrying out the mapping of "future minerals", including mineral resources such as lithium, cobalt, graphite, rare earth, silver, molybdenum, aluminum, copper and manganese, aiming to provide African Union (AU) governments with leading geological data. The Association of Geological and Mining Surveys of Ibero-America (ASGMI)(consisting of 22 geological surveys in Central America, the Caribbean, South America and Europe) has indicated that it is updating the South American metallogenic map and providing information on more than 20000 mineral deposits, the delineation of metallurgical zones, deposit models and mineral resource analysis. The European Geoscience Association (EEA), which comprises 37 European geological surveys, regularly conducts geological surveys on marine geology, earth energy, mineral resources and urban geology. The Geological Survey of Canada described the cooperation with the United States Geological Survey and other key mineral mapping programs.
